How to watch Monaco Grand Prix: live stream the F1 race from anywhere for FREE
Its roll of honour reads like a Who's Who of Formula 1 champions, and it's safe to say that this is one race that everybody on the grid will be desperate to win. Of the current crop of drivers, only Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso and Monaco native Charles Leclerc know what it feels like to take the checkered flag on this most famous of circuits.
Verstappen's win for Red Bull at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in Italy brought him back into contention in the drivers' championship, with the McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris now both within 22 points ahead. Hamilton's unexpected fourth place was also good news for Ferrari, as they head to a circuit where the seven-time world champion has three victories to his name. Teammate Leclerc would also love to make it two wins in a row at his home grand prix.
If you want to win in Monaco, you will have to nail qualifying. Five of the last six pole-sitters have gone on to win on the streets of Monte Carlo, and barring a major mistake in the race, Saturday's three-round shootout can determine the outcome.

So, that's how to watch the Monaco Grand Prix and all the race timings sorted. Now here's some more useful info about the upcoming Formula 1 race.
The Monaco Grand Prix first appeared on the Formula 1 calendar in 1950, and has been a fixture every year since 1955. Watching the drivers negotiate the narrow Mediterranean streets that form the Circuit de Monaco is one of the most iconic sights in motorsport, with the waterfront glamor nearly as enticing as the racing — possibly a good thing, seeing as overtaking is notoriously difficult.
On race day the drivers will complete 78 laps of the 2.08-mile (3.34km) circuit for a total race distance of 161.74 miles (260.29km).
The next race after the Monaco Grand Prix is the Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. It takes place on Sunday, June 1, making it the third F1 race in as many weekends.
Last year's Monaco Grand Prix was won by local boy Charles Leclerc, driving for Ferrari. McLaren's Oscar Piastri came second with Leclerc's then-teammate Carlos Sainz in third.
Lewis Hamilton (then driving for Mercedes) holds the record for the fastest ever lap at Monaco, completing the circuit in 1:12.909.
Many of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula One have won the Monaco Grand Prix over the years. Ayrton Senna holds the record with six victories, ahead of Graham Hill and Michael Schumacher with five.
Lewis Hamilton's three checkered flags make him the best of the current crop, though he hasn't won in Monte Carlo since 2019. Reigning world champion Max Verstappen won in 2021 and 2023.

Max Verstappen cannot trigger Red Bull exit clause for 2026 after F1 Belgian GP
Following the Belgian Grand Prix, it's clear that Max Verstappen will be in the top three of the championship standings during the summer break. After the sprint weekend at Spa-Francorchamps, the Dutchman is on 185 points, while fourth-placed George Russell has 157 points to his name after a poor Mercedes showing in the Ardennes. With only 25 points left to be won before the break, Verstappen is guaranteed to retain third regardless of what happens in Hungary. This relates to the much-discussed performance clause in Verstappen's Red Bull contract, which formally runs until the end of 2028. According to information obtained by last year, the clause is directly linked to his championship position: if Verstappen is outside the top three at a specified reference point – the summer break – he would be allowed to leave the team. However, with the outcome of the Spa weekend, that scenario is now off the table, meaning the clause will not be activated for the 2026 season. In theory, this doesn't automatically mean a driver must stay, since contracts can be bought out. However, according to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, this is not under consideration, as Verstappen is not planning to leave Red Bull regardless of the exit clause situation. Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing It aligns with recent signals from the paddock, where Verstappen himself has repeatedly said that he still feels at home at Red Bull – despite the fact that the results this season and the handling of the RB21 have been unsatisfactory. The latter has not yet been resolved with the update package introduced in Belgium. Verstappen made clear on Saturday that it's a step forward in terms of pure performance, but that the car's balance issues remain the same. More options on the driver market towards 2027? For next year – with entirely new regulations in F1 – much depends on Red Bull-Ford's in-house engine project. However, a switch of teams also carries risks, as Verstappen has no guarantee of immediate success elsewhere and the environment at Red Bull has largely been tailored around him. In addition to loyalty, staying one more year would give him the opportunity to observe how the pecking order plays out under the new regulations. Since the performance clause will still be in place next season, the door remains open for a future move should Red Bull truly fall short. The driver market is expected to be even more open heading into the 2027 season, with theoretical opportunities at Mercedes, Aston Martin, and potentially even Ferrari. Looking forward to building a new relationship with Mekies Verstappen also indicated during the Belgian GP weekend that he is pleased with new team principal Laurent Mekies, who has recently taken over from Christian Horner. 'I get along very well with him, so that's already a bonus,' he told Dutch media. 'Hopefully, we can continue to strengthen our relationship in the coming weeks and months.' The Dutchman admitted that his technical conversations with the new team boss go 'a bit deeper' than before, but immediately added that it was 'completely normal' given Mekies' engineering background. Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff, for his part, stated that his 'absolute priority' lies with the current drivers, and added that there is a '90 to 95%' chance that his team will continue with the 2025 line-up at least into the upcoming F1 season.

Real Madrid veteran confirms renewal talks are underway – ‘My dream is to retire here'
Thibaut Courtois has confirmed his complete commitment to Real Madrid, expressing his desire to end his career at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Belgian goalkeeper revealed that talks over a contract extension are well underway and that staying at the club long-term remains his top priority. 'Renewing my contract? Negotiations are ongoing. I want to stay at Real Madrid for as long as possible. My dream is to retire with them,' Courtois said (h/t RM4 Arab), making his intentions clear. While enjoying his off-season break, Courtois made a special appearance at the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix, where he was given the honour of starting the sprint race. He also took part in the trophy presentation ceremony, handing awards to Max Verstappen, Oscar Piastri, and Lando Norris, the top three finishers of the event. New deal already finalised Although Courtois hinted that negotiations are still in progress, sources close to the club have confirmed that a new deal is already finalised. Thibaut Courtois will renew his contract with Real Madrid. (Photo by) His previous contract was due to expire in 2026, but the new agreement will extend it by one more year, until the summer of 2027. The extension does not include any performance-based clauses, meaning the deal is unconditional and secure regardless of match appearances. An official announcement from the club is expected soon, with all terms now agreed. Courtois, who is currently on holiday after playing the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States, will return to training with the rest of the squad at Valdebebas on August 4. The team's competitive campaign begins on August 19 when they face Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabeu in their La Liga opener. At 33, Courtois remains one of the best goalkeepers in world football, and Real Madrid's decision to tie him down for another season reflects the trust and value the club places in his experience and leadership.
