Summary
June 7 at 3 p.m. CEST is the start time for Formula One’s 78-lap Monaco Grand Prix, with practice beginning June 5 and qualifying set for June 6 at 4 p.m. local time.
Apple TV will carry the race in the U.S., Sky Sports will show it in the U.K., and F1 TV Pro will offer live coverage and replays in eligible markets.
Monaco’s 3.337-km street circuit usually makes qualifying decisive, with last year’s top four finishing in the same order they started and Lando Norris winning from pole.
Kimi Antonelli arrives leading the championship on 131 points, 43 clear of Mercedes teammate George Russell after Russell retired from the lead in Canada with a power-unit failure.
The tight Monte Carlo layout is seen as more favorable to Ferrari than Mercedes, giving Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton a chance to end Mercedes’ unbeaten run in 2026.
