Formula 1 qualifying takes centre stage at the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix today (Saturday, May 25), with the teams all battling for grid positions for Sunday's showdown in Monte Carlo.
Notorious for its difficulty, the Monaco GP throws a gauntlet down to drivers with its tight, twisty streets that demand pinpoint accuracy. Since overtaking is very difficult here, a strong qualifying position is crucial for securing victory on Sunday, and Charles Leclerc heads into the session on top after going fastest in FP3.
Red Bull have reigned supreme in recent years, with Max Verstappen conquering the streets of Monte Carlo in 2023 and 2021, and Sergio Perez triumphing in 2022.
Now, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, who has secured pole position here in his home race twice before in 2021 and 2022, will be looking to reclaim the top spot on the podium come raceday for the first time since Austria in 2022.
