Schedule and where to see the classification of the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix

The seventh race of the Formula 1 World Championship is here. The 20 drivers on the grid will meet this week at the Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo, whose classification will be decided this Saturday. The competition continues in Europe for the second consecutive week, with Max Verstappen (Red Bull) as the new leader of the championship and Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) having to settle for second place.

Qualifying for the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix will begin this Saturday at 4:00 p.m. at the Circuit de Monaco, in Monte Carlo, and can be seen live on DAZN. You can also follow minute by minute on the La Vanguardia website.

The Spanish Grand Prix was a turning point for the Formula 1 World Championship. The Monegasque Charles Leclerc started the championship with an overwhelming superiority, but the reigning monarch of motorsport, Max Verstappen, was reducing the distance race after race. After two consecutive wins, he added the third at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya before 121,667 spectators, which allowed him, added to the abandonment of Leclerc, to snatch the crown.

The two Spanish drivers on the grid, Fernando Alonso (Alpine) and Carlos Sainz (Ferrari), leave their homeland in high spirits. The Spaniard was able to score points again after a series of races in which misfortune after misfortune followed one another. He started in Montmeló last, but crossed the finish line in ninth position, which allowed him to get two more points for the classification (15th). For his part, the man from Madrid stayed at the gates of the podium, although he gave himself the license to make the respectable man stand up with him overtaking Hamilton on the penultimate lap. In the world, he is fifth.

The Monte Carlo circuit has been in recent history the scene of a three-way war between Red Bull, Mercedes and Ferrari. Although in 2021 the pole position went to Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, it is the Mercedes team that has started the Monaco Grand Prix the most times from first place in the last decade, with five (Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher). In the last ten Grands Prix held in the Principality, up to seven different drivers have started from pole position.

The abandonment of Charles Leclerc in Montmeló cost him the leadership of the World Cup. The one who until now had been the most constant driver in qualifying returned to fulfill his predominant role in qualifying, in which he achieved his fourth pole position in six Grands Prix. Apart from him, only Sergio 'Checo' Pérez and Max Verstappen, both from Red Bull, have ever started at the front of the peloton this year.
