Once James gets his annual Monaco frustration off his chest and explains why the principality remains one of Formula 1’s worst circuits for overtaking, we analyse McLaren’s concerning run of form, George Russell’s fading championship aspirations, and Racing Bulls’ enormous weekend as they bank a haul of valuable points.
