“Send us a Hey Now!”

After an unforgettable trip to the Canadian Grand Prix, we realized there were still plenty of stories, observations and memories that never made it into our race review episode.

So before we turn our attention to Monaco, we revisit our Montreal adventure and discuss some of the moments we forgot to cover the first time around. From experiences around the circuit to behind-the-scenes stories from the weekend, we share a few more highlights from what was one of our favourite Formula 1 trips to date.

With the Canadian Grand Prix now in the rear-view mirror, we then switch gears and look ahead to one of the most iconic races on the Formula 1 calendar: the Monaco Grand Prix.

We discuss the unique challenge of racing around the streets of Monte Carlo, which teams and drivers might be best suited to the circuit, and whether anyone can upset the established order around the tight and unforgiving principality.

As always, no race preview would be complete without a visit to the Dirty Side Casino. Our regular casino games return as we put our predictions on the line with another spin of the Roulette Wheel and Dirty Side Blackjack to see who comes out on top ahead of race weekend.

Can anyone predict Monaco correctly? And did we miss anything important from our incredible Canadian adventure? Tune in to find out.
