F1 Monaco Grand Prix 2014: live stream, preview, TV schedule, start time and more

One of the premier Formula One races takes place on Sunday at the Monaco Grand Prix. Sitting on the pole is Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg, who is second place in the standings.

“I’ve felt really good in the car for the whole weekend and to get pole again here in Monaco is fantastic,” Rosberg said, via Formula One’s website. “The team has done a great job again this weekend because our performance is so strong even on this unique circuit – which shows that we have developed a really strong chassis and engine package for this season. I did a really great banker lap at the beginning in Q3 but Lewis was very close, so I gave it another try and pushed a bit more, unfortunately just a bit too much over the limit. I locked up the rears and then the fronts offline at the bumpy downhill part of the track before turn five but I just managed to get down the escape road. I have apologised to Lewis for having hindered the opportunity for him to improve his lap time. Now I will look ahead and forward to the race. I need to have a good start and I hope for a strong race with a good strategy.”

Starting behind him is his teammate Lewis Hamilton. There was a bit of controversy during qualifying, after Rosberg slid down the escape road at Turn 5 (Mirabeau) during his final flying lap, bringing out yellow flags that prevented those behind him from improving their time. Hamilton was one of the drivers impacted by the move.

“I’d had a good weekend so far and I’ve just been concentrating on my own performance and working on the pace one step at a time. Qualifying was going well today but in hindsight, I should have nailed my best lap before the end of Q3. This is Monaco and there is always the risk of yellow flags here. Of course, I’m extremely disappointed that I didn’t get to finish my lap as I was a couple of tenths up. That’s motorsport. I have to get the best possible start and then see what we can do from there.”

Here is everything you need to watch the game, except a cup of coffee, which you’ll need because it is early.
