How to watch F1 2025 Monaco Grand Prix for free: Time, US streaming
A day of auto racing around the globe kicks off with one of the most prestigious races in the entire sport: the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix.
The “crown jewel of the F1 schedule,” which is held at the Circuit de Monaco, has a 3.337 km circut with 19 turns. Racers will drive 78 laps total. Monaco is the only race on the F1 schedule that doesn’t meet the league’s 190-mile minimum race distance, and it’s also one of the slowest on average thanks to a tight, twisting course.
Monte Carlo native Charles Leclerc won last year’s race, becoming the first driver from Monaco to win the Monaco GP in its history. Leclerc will start in second position this year, behind Lando Norris.
Aside from Norris and Leclerc, Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen make up the first four positions. One of Norris, Piastri, or Verstappen have won every race so far this season (the last time someone who wasn’t one of those three won a F1 race was in the November 2024 Las Vegas GP).
