F1 Monaco GP: When and where to watch the Montecarlo street race live?

The highly anticipated Monaco GP has finally arrived, captivating racing enthusiasts from around the globe. This prestigious event holds a special place in the hearts of Formula 1 fans and is considered one of the sport’s crown jewels. Following the unfortunate cancellation of the Imola GP due to floods, Monaco will now serve as the sixth race of the season. What makes this even more thrilling is that five out of the six races thus far have taken place on challenging street circuits, adding an extra layer of excitement to the championship.

The allure of the Monaco Grand Prix lies not only in its thrilling street circuit but also in the tremendous support it receives from fans worldwide. Spectators flock to the picturesque streets of Monte Carlo, creating an electrifying atmosphere that can only be experienced at this iconic race. Additionally, Monaco holds a prominent position as one of the three jewels of the esteemed Triple Crown, further elevating its prestige and attracting top-tier talent.

As the weekend unfolds, all eyes will be on the dominant Red Bull Racing team. Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez currently lead the championship standings, having secured victory in all the races thus far. The duo has demonstrated exceptional performance, consistently securing pole positions and podium finishes. However, the streets of Monaco can be unforgiving, and the team will face a unique challenge in their quest for continued success.

Among the contenders, local hero Charles Leclerc, driving for Ferrari, is expected to receive overwhelming support from the crowd. Leclerc’s teammate endured a setback during the second practice session, leaving the team with significant work ahead of the main event.

With overtaking notoriously difficult on this circuit, qualifying will be crucial in determining the race’s outcome. As the battle for pole position intensifies, the stage is set for an exhilarating showdown. Mercedes, eager to regain their dominance in the championship, has introduced a revised design package for the Monaco Grand Prix. The updated W14, featuring a revamped side pod design, aims to optimize performance and address any concerns the drivers raise.

Additionally, veteran driver Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin will be determined to end his winless streak this season, viewing the Monaco Grand Prix as a golden opportunity to break the winless drought.
