F1 Practice Today: Monaco Grand Prix 2023 start times, schedule and TV
F1 practice kicks-off on Friday at the Monaco Grand Prix with the first two sessions ahead of the latest race at the iconic street circuit on Sunday.
The cancellation of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix has left fans desperate for a glimpse of their favourite drivers behind the wheel. Thankfully, their patience is about to be rewarded.
The big question this weekend is whether Mercedes’ new sidepod design and other updates will see them become a force to be reckoned with, or if Red Bull’s dominance in the RB19 will continue.
Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will be hoping to put a marker down in the first practice sessions ahead of qualifying on Saturday as a signal to the rest of the grid that it is too soon to count them out for the season.
Today we start with the first free practice session – FP1 - followed shortly by FP2 in what is set to be a bumper day of action of the track.
