Antonelli won the qualifiers in Monaco, surpassing Max Verstappen and securing pole position.

On Saturday, Antonelli managed to surpass Max Verstappen from Red Bull in the qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix, securing pole position. Lewis Hamilton finished the session in third place for Ferrari. Antonelli described his lap as "magical," stating that he managed to put everything together.

His teammate and title rival, George Russell, finished in sixth place after a tense race in Canada, where he had a engine failure. The qualifying in Monaco is crucial, considering the difficulty of overtaking on the narrow street circuit. Antonelli, with a 43-point lead over Russell, is the favorite to achieve his fifth consecutive victory in the race on Sunday.
