F1 starting grid tomorrow: Monaco Grand Prix qualifying results

Monaco, where qualifying is almost always more important than the race itself. Here’s how the grid will start — and quite possibly, finish — on Sunday.

Monaco might be one of the most iconic Grand Prix events on the Formula One calendar, but let’s be honest, it’s not good racing. Monaco, a tightly-squeezed street circuit through the streets of the yacht-lined city, does not make for overtaking opportunities.

For that reason, the qualifying order is everything. Even quick cars only get limited opportunities to overtake. Those starting later in the grid than they’d prefer to are crossing their fingers for a lucky DNF for cars in front of them to move up just as much as they are banking on their own driving.

So, Saturday is everything. Getting those lap times in early can make for a breezy Sunday or a stressful one. But really, that’s true every week.

As a reminder, here’s how qualifying works.

1. Max Verstappen
2. Fernando Alonso
3. Esteban Ocon
4. Carlos Sainz
5. Lewis Hamilton
6. Charles Leclerc*
7. Pierre Gasly
8. George Russell
9. Lando Norris
10. Yuki Tsunoda
11. Oscar Piastri
12. Nyck de Vries
13. Alex Albon
14. Lance Stroll
15. Valtteri Bottas
16. Logan Sargeant
17. Kevin Magnussen
18. Niko Hulkenberg
19. Zhou Guanyu
20. Sergio Perez (crashed)

*After qualifying, though Leclerc finished third, the FIA penalized him, giving a three-grid starting penalty for impeding Lando Norris during qualifying.

What should have been an easy podium for Leclerc in his home country now gives him a ton to work for on Sunday afternoon.
