Welcome to this direct dedicated to the Monaco Grand Prix, seventh race of the formula 1 season.
What is it about ? From the most prestigious race on the F1 calendar, the Monaco Grand Prix. And above all the opportunity for Charles Leclerc, in pole position, to end his curse on the Monegasque circuit: in three participations in F1, he has never managed to reach the finish.
Where ? In the Principality of Monaco.
What is the situation ? The new regulations put in place at the start of the season have completely reshuffled the cards in the paddock. Exit the Mercedes who had not missed a single title from 2014 to 2020, this year it was Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) and Max Verstappen (Red Bull) who dominated the debates and won the first six races. The latter, reigning world champion, has already won on four circuits this season, and is at the top of the drivers’ classification.
At what time ? Start of the race at 3 p.m.
On which channel ? Canal+.
