2023 Monaco Grand Prix - Predicament Predictions

[Batty]

After the cancellation of the GP at Imola, the F1 circus moves to Monaco where qualifying will be more important than the race itself unless moderate wet rain! If the race gets dull, I'm gonna watch Roland Garros.

Template for predictions:
1. Driver finished 1st
2. Driver finished 2nd
3. Driver finished 3rd
4. Driver finished 4th
5. Driver finished 5th
6. Driver classified 6th
7. Driver classified 7th
8. Driver classified 8th
9. Driver classified 9th
10. Driver classified 10th

PP: The Pole Sitter
FL: Who gets the FL
First Retirement: Also counts DNS
ROTR:
IIDOTR:
DBTMOTR: The driver who is mathematically the furthest behind their teammate in terms of positions when the race is done.
LP: Who ever is classified as last place
MLP: Highest classified driver between Nyck De Vries, Logan Sargeant, or Oscar Piastri

Time to see a lot of yachts and people drinking champange!
