How can I watch the Monaco GP? F1 timings and TV schedules

Formula 1 returns to the iconic streets of Monte Carlo for this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix.

A permanent fixture on the F1 calendar, the Monaco GP has been on every schedule since 1955.

F1 didn’t race in Monaco last year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but it’s back for this year - as is Formula 2!

Lewis Hamilton holds a 14 point lead in the drivers’ championship following back-to-back wins at Portimao and Barcelona.

Max Verstappen will be looking to get his title charge back on track at a circuit Red Bull has enjoyed plenty of success at over the years - winning in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2018.

When is the Monaco Grand Prix? 

The 2021 Monaco Grand Prix takes place on Sunday, May 23. Cars will take to the track on Thursday for practice - rather than the usual Friday, with FP3 and qualifying taking place on the Saturday as normal. 

Where is the Monaco Grand Prix taking place? 

The 2021 Monaco Grand Prix is held at the Circuit de Monaco.

The circuit is 3.337 km (2.074 mi) long and consists of 19 corners.
