The conversation then shifts to practice and whether practice at Monte Carlo is the most entertaining of the year.

Kokot dives into the Mercedes upgrades that the German team has brought to the race.

Greg explains the philosophy of the changes, the physical differences in the car’s appearance, and the expected effects moving forward.

Miller wonders if the upgrades will hurt them at Monaco due to the nature of the slow-speed corners.
