Ferrari is favourite to win in Monaco this weekend - and that might just be the start of a Formula 1 title fightback.

Mark Hughes and Bryn Lucas reveal why the team could end the 2026 season with the fastest car, thanks to its innovative aerodynamic features, plus the prospect of two key engine upgrades that promise to put the team at least on a par with Mercedes — and potentially ahead of the current championship leaders.

But all is not well at Maranello, as unexpected rule changes, proposed for next year, could strip away the team's key advantages. Will Ferrari succeed then suffer a double whammy? Can it block the new regulations. All is explored in this latest episode of the Motor Sport F1 Show.

We also look ahead to the Monaco Grand Prix where, in shock news, overtaking could once more be on the cards, giving the polesitter more than usual to worry about. McLaren's celebrating its 1000th grand prix too: don't miss Mark's whistlestop history of the current constructors' champions, plus his view on how Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri compare to its greatest team-mate line-ups.

Plus: your questions answered - what has been the greatest qualifying lap of the 21st century so far? And has one of our viewers come up with the solution to all of F1's current woes?

George Russell saw the Canadian Grand Prix as a chance to relaunch his F1 world championship campaign but instead his worst fear was realised. Not only did he retire with engine issues, his team-mate Kimi Antonelli was bang on his pace — at one of Russell's strongest circuits.

Mark Hughes and Bryn Lucas explore the gripping Montreal team-mate brawl we saw before Russell bowed out and what it means for a title race which the teenage Antonelli leads by 43 points.

They also take an in-depth look at how the Mercedes team-mates' driving styles differ, including how Antonelli creates extra margin over Russell, but only under specific circumstances in races.

Should Russell despair about his position? Will his greater experience give him the edge over the season? And can Mercedes keep the duo from destroying each other on the track?

All this and more — including Lewis Hamilton looking back to his best in Canada and why this season really could be Max Verstappen's last in Formula 1

Mark also answers your questions on the excitement of Montreal and the fairness of Russell's defence of Antonelli.

Plus: Ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, are we set for an historic Formula 1 world championship battle, or will Mercedes vring an upgrade to blow the opposition away?
