The most exciting Formula 1 qualifying session of the season takes place today (Saturday, May 24) at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix.

Pole position is crucial in Monaco, as Charles Leclerc showed last year, putting his Ferrari on pole and winning his home race for the first time.

It was truly a magical moment, and the Monegasque star is looking handy once again this weekend, too.

Leclerc topped both of Friday's practice sessions despite the team's struggles so far in 2025, and, with Lewis Hamilton finishing third in FP2, Ferrari's pace seems legit.

Elsewhere, McLaren star and current drivers' championship leader Oscar Piastri nabbed pole last time out at Imola, but was beaten in the race by Max Verstappen, as was his McLaren team-mate Lando Norris. Both drivers would love to bounce back and come out on top this weekend, and a strong qualifying effort would go a long way to helping them do so.

McLaren finished FP2 on Friday in second and fourth, and it does appear the battle for pole could be between themselves and Ferrari. You can never count out Verstappen, though, even if he did end FP2 in P11.
