F1 LIVE | FP1: Monaco Grand Prix
The weekend in the principality marks already the eight Grand Prix of the season. Max Verstappen managed to win the race last weekend at Imola, but Red Bull have two challengers close to them: Ferrari and McLaren. Therefore, Red Bull will have to be also efficient in Monaco to stay ahead of their rivals.
McLaren are coming off of a great weekend at Imola, where Lando Norris finished less than a second behind Verstappen. The two McLaren drivers were also close to taking pole position at the Italian track. Ferrari are also looking to recover after losing not only to Red Bull, but McLaren too in qualifying in Italy. Qualifying will have special importance this weekend, as overtaking is especially challenging in Monaco.
The circuit at Monte Carlo is 3.337 kilometres (2.074 miles) long and has 19 corners. The driver competing in his home GP will be Charles Leclerc, who has an unlucky track record in his home Grand Prix so far.
