Kimi Antonelli warned of Monaco start issues despite lead

Former driver Jolyon Palmer has cautioned that Kimi Antonelli must improve his race starts ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix. Antonelli extended his drivers' championship lead to 20 points by winning the Miami Grand Prix but lost the lead off the line from pole.

Palmer noted the short run to the first corner in Monaco as a particular challenge. He said a poor getaway there would eliminate any chance of victory even from pole position, unlike in Canada where overtaking opportunities remain available later in the lap.
