MONACO (AP) 鈥 Here’s a guide that tells you what you need to know about Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix. It’s the eighth round of the 2025 Formula 1 season.
How to watch the Monaco Grand Prix on TV
鈥 In the U.S., on ESPN.
鈥 .
What is the Monaco Grand Prix schedule?
鈥 Friday: First and second practice sessions.
鈥 Saturday: Third practice and qualifying.
鈥 Sunday: Monaco Grand Prix, 78 laps of the 3.34-kilometer (2.07-mile) Monaco circuit. Starts at 3 p.m. local time (9 a.m. ET / 1300 GMT).
Where is the Monaco Grand Prix taking place?
Tight, twisty and not really suited to modern F1 cars, Monaco is a throwback to the series origins in the 1950s. With old-school glamor and a harbor filled with luxury yachts, Monaco is known as 鈥渢he jewel in the crown鈥 of F1, but it’s by far the slowest circuit of the year. Overtaking is so difficult that Saturday’s qualifying session is arguably more important than the race. With barriers close to the track, even the smallest mistake can mean a crash.

What happened in the last race?
Max Verstappen gave his title defense a big boost by beating McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri to win the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. Verstappen overtook Piastri around the outside at the start in a daring move and controlled the rest of the race with strong pace and smart strategy. Norris overtook Piastri for second place late in the race to cut his teammate’s standings lead.

Key stats at Monaco

93 鈥 Charles Leclerc’s victory last year was the first time in 93 years that a driver from Monaco won the Monaco Grand Prix. Louis Chiron won in 1931, 19 years before the F1 world championship was founded.

What they’re saying
鈥淟ast year (at Monaco) was very difficult for us. I don鈥檛 expect it to be a lot easier this time around because there鈥檚 a lot of low-speed (corners).鈥 鈥 Max Verstappen
鈥淚t鈥檚 a circuit I enjoy. Last year (with second place) was a really good weekend for me, so hopefully we can go one better this year.鈥 鈥 Oscar Piastri
