On the Sunday afternoon of May 26, 2024, became a highly anticipated moment for the Ferrari team and its fans as Charles emerged victorious at the historic Monaco circuit.

The Monaco Grand Prix is renowned as one of the most iconic circuits in the world of Formula 1. Constructed on the streets of Monte Carlo, the circuit presents unique challenges to drivers with its sharp corners, narrow roads, and little room for error. The circuit's famous tunnel passing beneath the Monte Carlo Casino building offers an unparalleled racing experience.

With strategies built by Leclerc during Free Practice (FP) 1-3 and into the qualifying rounds from Friday to Saturday, he positioned himself favorably to clinch the Monaco GP trophy. Thus, the man born on October 16 was greeted with joy by the team, and even his fans. Moreover, other drivers also shared in the joy of Leclerc's victory on his home turf.

However, it is regrettable that the star driver of Red Bull Racing, Max Verstappen, had to face setbacks at the Monaco GP 2024. This is because the strategy employed by the man dubbed 'Mad Max' did not yield satisfactory results. As we know, the Red Bull team typically focuses less on Free Practice in each race; their primary focus lies in the qualifying rounds and securing Pole Position. In FP1, Verstappen occupied the 11th position, FP2 saw him in 4th place, and he began to climb in FP3, reaching 2nd place.

As indicated on the F1 classification board, Leclerc topped the rankings in FP2, while Verstappen stood at 4th place. In FP3, Leclerc maintained his lead position, with Verstappen trailing in second place.

After the qualifying rounds, F1 announced the Pole Position results for the Grand Prix on Sunday. This proved advantageous for the man known as 'il Predestinato,' Leclerc. Securing the first position, he was followed by Oscar Piastri (McLaren) and Carlos Sainz (Ferrari), Lando Norris (McLaren), George Russell (Mercedes), and finally Max Verstappen, who landed in the 6th position.

Pole Position for Monaco GP

Why is the Pole Position advantageous? This is because of the narrow streets and sharp corners of the Monaco circuit. It's quite challenging to overtake for drivers starting behind the Pole position. Additionally, the order of victory at the Monaco GP usually aligns with the Pole or grid start. From Leclerc in first place to Verstappen in sixth.

Verstappen's defeat at the Monaco circuit was eagerly anticipated by other teams and fans, such as McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, and others. This is because, over his nearly 9-year career, Verstappen has amassed numerous victories and holds the record for the most podium finishes in F1, with the latest count being 104 podiums in 193 races.

The rivalry between Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc is intense, with both consistently occupying the top positions in race points each year.

  ⏰ Spoiler alert! The film debut director Pat Boonnitipat feels so heavy to leave, even though it has been completed and leaves credits. The tightness is still attached. Tells the story of Mengju/Amah and her family who is a descendant of Sino-Thai (Chinese Thai), Lahn Mah took the main location in Talat PHLU which is one of the regions with the most Sino-Thai community, the majority of which are still traditional. This area is famous for its cuisine, one of which is Jok/Congee (porridge). Jok (Congee) is very important in the film Lahn Mah, so it's natural that the director selects this menu specifically. The history of the Jok (congee) in Thai is closely related to the massive migration of Chinese citizens to the Land of the White Elephant. This food is delicious when eaten when warm. The philosophy is closeness, in this case, family. Jok (Congee) can actually be a strong narrative drive. Amah's struggle to sell Jok’s (congee) to raise her three selfless ch...
