2026 Monaco GP: Weather, Times, and Predictions

Formula 1's sixth round of the 2026 season, the Monaco Grand Prix, is set to unfold on the historic Circuit de Monaco. Kimi Antonelli currently leads the Drivers' Championship by a commanding 43 points, having secured four consecutive victories. Mercedes teammates Antonelli and George Russell are extending their lead over Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton.

The legendary Circuit de Monaco, a 3.337 km street circuit, is renowned for its difficulty, offering minimal room for error and scarce overtaking chances. Qualifying is therefore paramount for success, with strategy and precision being key.

Practice sessions are scheduled for June 5th, followed by qualifying on June 6th, and the main race on June 7th. Times vary significantly across global regions, with the race starting at 15:00 CET in Monaco. Many broadcasters worldwide, including Sky Sports in the UK and Apple TV in the USA, will provide coverage.

Weather forecasts predict favorable conditions throughout the weekend, with mild temperatures and light winds, ensuring a primarily dry event. While overtaking will be difficult, predictions are split, with some favoring Leclerc and Hamilton, while others anticipate Antonelli's continued dominance. Local driver Charles Leclerc faces added pressure as he competes in his home race shortly after signing a new contract.
