F1 heads back to the iconic Monaco Street Circuit this weekend for the Monaco Grand Prix.

The race around the streets of the principality first took its place on the F1 world championship calendar in 1950, but it wasn't consistently on the calendar until 1955.

Since then, however, the race has featured in every F1 season other than the 2020 campaign which was disrupted by COVID-19, and it is due to stay until at least the 2035 season.

This year, the race is the sixth round of the 2026 season, a year that so far has been a story of Kimi Antonelli's brilliance.

The 19-year-old has won the last four grands prix and now sits atop the drivers' championship with a 43-point lead over his Mercedes team-mate George Russell.

Can he make it five in a row this weekend? Or will Russell or one of the Ferrari drivers fight back and reinvigorate their charge for the championship? Here's how you can catch the action for free on Channel 4.
