Overview

  • Andrea Kimi Antonelli took pole for the Monaco Grand Prix on Saturday with a 1:12.051 lap that beat Max Verstappen by 0.043 seconds.
  • Charles Leclerc damaged his Ferrari on his final run and will start fourth while Lewis Hamilton qualified third.
  • The session featured key incidents that disrupted attempts, including Gabriel Bortoleto’s Q1 crash that caused a red flag and earlier practice spins that affected running.
  • Franco Colapinto was eliminated in Q2 and will start 14th after reporting the Alpine felt “very disconnected” and that he lacked confidence with the car all weekend.
  • Live viewing in Argentina is available on Disney+/ESPN and F1 TV Pro with Fox Sports offering delayed coverage, and teams will need bold strategy or safety-car luck to change the order on Monaco’s hard-to-pass streets.
