Formula 1 heads to Monaco this weekend after a dramatic Canadian Grand Prix, where Kimi Antonelli claimed his fourth consecutive victory and extended his championship lead after Mercedes team-mate George Russell retired from the lead with a power unit failure.
The result leaves Antonelli 43 points clear of Russell heading to Monte Carlo, where qualifying remains one of the most important sessions of the season. With overtaking notoriously difficult around Monaco’s tight street circuit, Saturday could do more than shape the grid — it could decide the race.
It's the most historic event on the calendar, with the Monaco Grand Prix held beginning in 1929, pre-dating F1 itself. First held as part of the Formula 1 world championship in 1950, the Monaco GP remains the series’ most famous street race. Its narrow roads, barriers, elevation changes and limited room for error also make it one of the most demanding circuits on the calendar.
After Friday practice, Saturday brings the final hour of preparation in FP3 before qualifying sets the grid for Sunday’s grand prix. Here is everything you need to know ahead of Saturday’s running at the Monaco GP.
