Charles Leclerc’s painful absence from the Monaco Grand Prix is the lead talking point as Edd Straw, Scott Mitchell and Mark Hughes analyse the weekend in The Race F1 Podcast.

Do Leclerc and Ferrari deserve sympathy for the driveshaft problem that meant he couldn’t take up pole position, or do they only have themselves to blame – Leclerc because of his heavy qualifying crash and Ferrari for not identifying the issue that hit on the way to the grid?

The quality of the race, Lewis Hamilton’s awful weekend, Ferrari’s surge in pace, Daniel Ricciardo’s misery, another bizarre Valtteri Bottas disaster and Sebastian Vettel’s breakthrough are among the many, many other topics tackled.
