<p>The eyes of the F1 world will be on the streets of Monte Carlo this weekend for one of the world’s most iconic sporting events, the Monaco Grand Prix.</p> <p>We’re coming off an intriguing race at Imola, with Max Verstappen holding off a hard-charging Lando Norris who was looking for his second win in a row.</p> <p>There’s no doubt the upgrades to McLaren and Ferrari have them pushing Red Bull for the first time in quite a while, but whether or not that will have an impact on Monaco’s narrow street circuit is another matter.</p> <p>Verstappen has won two of the past three in Monte Carlo including 2023, but there has been plenty of drama in recent years.</p> <p>Wet weather played a part in both the 2022 and 2023 races, while qualifying crashes (including Leclerc’s which made him a non-starter in 2021) have wreaked havoc as well.</p> <p>This year’s forecast calls for potential rain on Saturday, which could once again affect the all-important Qualifying session.</p> <h2>&nbsp;</h2> <h2>Monaco Grand Prix Betting Tips</h2> <h3>Best Bet</h3> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-monaco-grand-prix-8260519">Max Verstappen $1.77 </a><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-monaco-grand-prix-8260519">&nbsp;(Outright Betting)</a></p> <p>Despite the fact that he is not dominating the way he did at the start of the season – and McLaren is improving by leaps and bounds – this is your one chance to get decent value for Verstappen to win. Max has won two of the last three Monaco races, despite only starting from pole once, in 2023.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Next Best</h3> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-monaco-grand-prix-8260519">Max Verstappen $2.30 (Fastest Qualifier)</a></p> <p>Verstappen is looking to set a record with his ninth consecutive pole position, but it won’t be easy. McLaren and Ferrari are improving each week and Monaco is a notoriously quirky Qualifying session, especially if it rains. Still, given his track record and the value, this bet is worth a look.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Value Bet</h3> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-monaco-grand-prix-8260519">Charles Leclerc or Lando Norris to Win the Race $3.10 (BYO Sportsbet)</a></p> <p>This is a combined bet where you win if either driver finishes first. If you feel strongly about Leclerc or Norris specifically, then back them in the Outright market for better value (currently $6.00 and $6.25 respectively).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Piastri Bet</h3> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-monaco-grand-prix-8260519">Max Verstappen to Win the Race &amp; Oscar Piastri to Finish in the Points $2.00 (Top 6 Finish)</a></p> <p>Oscar Piastri’s success has meant that his value has decreased somewhat. Oscar to finish in the Top 6 has shortened to $1.26 and a podium finish ($2.35) could be asking a bit too much. This bet combines a Verstappen win with a much more likely Top 10 finish for the young Aussie.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Ricciardo&nbsp;Bet</h3> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-monaco-grand-prix-8260519">Daniel Ricciardo $2.60 (Points Finish)</a></p> <p>Ricciardo finished a respectable 13th at Imola and has runs on the board at Monaco, winning in 2018. But he’ll need to put in a cracking qualifying run to challenge for a top 10 finish. Once again this is probably your best Ricciardo option, with the Yes To be Classified bet paying just $1.20.</p> <h3>&nbsp;</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Odds are subject to change.&nbsp;</p>
