On the narrow streets of Monaco, where starting position has long been treated as destiny, Ferrari arrives at Sunday's race holding third and fourth on the grid — a result that looks like a sentence before the race begins.

History favors the pole-sitter here, but history has occasionally been rewritten at the first corner.
