Monte Carlo is getting ready for one of the most anticipated weekends of Formula 1, and at eRadioGlobal we bring you all the details right away.
Leclerc shines again at home
The Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc, from the Ferrari team, will start from pole position in the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, following an impressive performance in the free practice sessions this Friday. With a time of 1:11.355, Leclerc showcased his dominance on the narrow streets of Monte Carlo, leaving Oscar Piastri (McLaren) and Lewis Hamilton (also Ferrari) in second and third place, respectively.
Official schedule for Canada: Set your alarm!
Fans in Brooks, Alberta, will be able to watch the race live this Sunday, May 25, at 7:00 a.m. (local time). The official qualifying, which will determine the final starting order, will take place on Saturday, May 24, at 8:00 a.m.
This event will be broadcast live on TSN and RDS, and will also be available to F1 TV Pro subscribers, perfect for those who want a more immersive experience.
This is how the provisional starting grid looks
Although the official qualifying takes place on Saturday, the preliminary positions are already generating expectations:
- Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)
- Oscar Piastri (McLaren)
- Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari)
- Lando Norris (McLaren)
- Liam Lawson (Racing Bulls)
- Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls)
- Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin)
- Alex Albon (Williams)
- Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes)
- Max Verstappen (Red Bull)
Ferrari has taken a strong step this season, while Red Bull and Mercedes seem to have work ahead if they want to prevail this Sunday.
Updates in the strategy: two mandatory stops
A new regulation requires at least two pit stops, which will drastically change the strategies. In a circuit where overtaking is almost impossible, decisions in the pit lane will be as important as talent behind the wheel.
Ideal weather for a memorable race
The weather forecast for Monaco is sunny with temperatures around 20°C, which suggests a clean race, with no rain to disrupt the asphalt conditions.
Can Leclerc repeat the feat?
Leclerc, who won this very Grand Prix in 2024, is now looking to make history and conquer his home circuit for the second consecutive time. However, McLaren will not make it easy for him, with Piastri and Norris putting on strong pressure.
