2023 F1 Monaco Grand Prix – How to watch, start time & more

Red Bull's Max Verstappen will start the race from pole position after a stunning final sector effort in qualifying. He will be joined on the front row by Aston Martin's star driver Fernando Alonso, who looked set for pole until Verstappen's late heroics demoted him to second on the grid.

Esteban Ocon will line up a strong third for Alpine ahead of the top Ferrari of Carlos Sainz, with Lewis Hamilton fifth for Mercedes.

Home favourite Charles Leclerc had originally qualified third but will have to take the start in sixth after receiving a three-place grid penalty for impeding McLaren's Lando Norris in Q3.
