F1 2019: 5 Talking Points from Monaco Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton put together a perfect weekend for himself as he notched up another win

#5 Mercedes has a hand on the title already while the midfield battle looks tasty

It's pretty hard to predict the correct pecking order for the midfield

By locking out another front row and dominating another weekend Mercedes has set a benchmark that will be hard to reach right now.

Going to Canada, another tight and twisty circuit with traction being very important Mercedes are expected to have an edge there as well.

By the looks of it, the championships might end up getting decided between the two Mercedes drivers with the Ferrari and Red Bull drivers acting as bridesmaids for the rest of the season.

On the other hand, the midfield battle is anybody's guess right now. Renault has plummeted to P8, while McLaren has been solid this season with consistent points.

It's very hard to pick who will be where in the constructor's championship. The battle is wide open with every team being quick at varied points of the season. There Will be a point in the season when the teams pecking order might get a bit settled.

But for now, it's like a game of Russian Roulette with not much knowledge about the order in which each of the teams would line up.
