F1 returns to the streets of Monaco this week following a two-year gap after the showpiece event was cancelled for the first time in 65 years last season in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton goes into the race after making his best start to a season, registering three wins, a second-place and a fastest lap from four races for a 94-point total.

But with Red Bull rival Max Verstappen finishing second at three races and winning the other, the cost of a single error remains high.

With overtaking difficult in Monaco, Mercedes and Red Bull will be eager to see Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez qualify as close to the championship leaders as possible.

McLaren, meanwhile, will take to the Principality in a stunning one-off livery featuring the striking blue and fluro-orange colours of sponsor Gulf.
