MONACO \u2014 Kimi Antonelli is aiming to continue a remarkable rise to the top of Formula 1<\/a> as he starts on pole position<\/a> for the Monaco Grand Prix<\/a> on Sunday with a chance to further stretch his standings lead.<\/p>

Monaco is the glamorous traditional high point of the F1 season and the 19-year-old Mercedes driver could join some of the sport\u2019s greatest names as a winner.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost impossible to overtake on the narrow, twisty street circuit, so his pole position is especially valuable. He starts ahead of two of the most successful F1 drivers ever, with Max Verstappen second for Red Bull and Lewis Hamilton third for Ferrari.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just need to get a clean start, don\u2019t try to do the magic start,\u201d Antonelli said Saturday. Hamilton said that to have a shot at winning, he might need rain, which is unlikely to affect the race.<\/p>

After a winless rookie season, Antonelli took his first F1 victory at the Chinese Grand Prix in March and has followed up with wins in Japan, Miami and Canada<\/a> to lead teammate George Russell by 43 points. He would be the youngest champion in F1 history.<\/p>\n

Mercedes has won all five Grand Prix races so far this year and is aiming for a sixth. Russell hasn\u2019t won since the opening race in Australia<\/a> and starts sixth for Sunday\u2019s race after admitting he was \u201cbamboozled\u201d by how the Mercedes car better suited Antonelli\u2019s driving style.<\/p>
