F1 Monaco Grand Prix: What time does it start in the UK and how to watch on TV

It's the most glamorous event of the most glamorous sport in, probably, the most glamorous city in the world - it could only be the Monaco Grand Prix.

Packed to the diamond-encrusted gills with the uber-rich and famous, the city-state is gearing up for its biggest weekend of the year, as a swarm of whining race cars takes over its famous streets.

Home driver Charles Leclerc will be hoping to improve on his previous record, which has led to whisperings that he is ‘cursed’ when it comes to his native race. With an 18th place, two ‘did not finish’ and one race cancelled due to a global pandemic, Leclerc will be hoping that this is the year to turn the tide at this famous circuit.

Once so famously dominated by Ayrton Senna, Monte Carlo drips with history, now perfectly poised for drama after the championship lead changed hands at the Spanish GP last weekend.
