Summary
Monaco qualifying begins at 16:00 CET, with pole position carrying outsized weight on a circuit where overtaking is notoriously difficult.
Ferrari enters as the clear favorite after leading the pace through Friday and FP3, with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton consistently near the top of the timesheets.
The SF-26 has looked especially strong in Monaco’s low-speed sections, where chassis and aerodynamic grip matter more than outright engine power.
Max Verstappen remains the main outsider in the RB22, while Mercedes has lacked its early-season edge and defending Monaco polesitter Lando Norris faces a tougher task than in 2025.
The session is widely seen as the weekend’s decisive moment, with a poor grid slot capable of wrecking Sunday hopes before the race even starts.
