Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix 2025: TV channel, time and how to watch

Few motorsports events in the world have the same draw as the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix. The crown jewel of the F1 calendar sees some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment in attendance to see some of the best drivers in the world battle in close quarters. Despite the star-studded group of attendees, the Monaco Grand Prix often is far from an exciting race. The nature of modern F1 cars means passing is nearly impossible in the tight, twisting corners with barriers just inches away from cars at almost every point of the Circuit de Monaco. Advertisement First season in red: Lewis Hamilton's F1 transition to Ferrari is a work in progress Qualifying is more important at Monaco than any other track on the F1 calendar. How the cars line up on Sunday is often how they'll end up come the checkered flag. Things could be different this year, though, as F1 officials have mandated all drivers must use at least three different sets of tires, which requires at least two pit stops during the race. That's a change from the two-set minimum for dry conditions for all other races. Tire wear in Monaco is low because it's the slowest track on the calendar. That means we could see teams get creative in choosing how best to deploy the two-stop minimum. Monaco's close barriers often mean a crash is near-inevitable which could a wrench into teams' plans.

Summer Superyacht Season Starts In Style At The Monaco Grand Prix

(Photo by Bryn Lennon - Formula 1/Formula 1 via Getty Images) Every race on the Formula 1 calendar attracts cool, famous, wealthy, and powerful people. But, when it comes combining royalty, intrigue, history, and most of all, superyachts with raw Formula 1 power, few events can compete with the Monaco Grand Prix that takes place this weekend Anyone who's been to the Monaco Grand Prix before knows how hard it is to get a prime spot to watch the races from the deck of a superyacht moored in the harbor. I'm sorry to report I can't invite you to all of the onboard parties (frankly, I don't have too many invites either!), but I can give you a little glimpse of some of the yachts that are there already and will be there for the race. Kismet Kismet will be in Monaco for the Monaco GP this weekend I'm just going to call Shahid Kahn's Kismet the 'Queen' of the fleet. I mean, what more can you say about this 400-foot-long superyacht (which was built by Lürssen, features an exterior design by Nuvolari Lenard and an interior design by Reymond Langton Design and is available for charter with Cecil Wright) that hasn't already been said? Kismet's large beach club area Well, she's fresh off being named Motor Yacht of The Year at the World Superyacht Awards in Venice. She costs well north of $3 million per week to charter. And oh yeah, she has cinema on the lower deck—complete with an underwater seating area—and a 7-star wellness area that's two full stars better than a 5-star wellness area. King Benji King Benji Here are the facts. The 154-foot-long King Benji was built by Dunya Yachts and launched in 2024. The interior was designed by Design Unlimited, and the exterior styling is by Gregory C. Marshall. Now, here's my take after giving the King Benji's hot tub a rigorous test during the Palm Beach International Boat Show earlier this year. King Benji's dual hot tubs I think the hot tubs—plural—on the foredeck might provide great viewing. The massive aft deck may provide one of the best viewing platforms of any of the yachts that are moored stern-to the racecourse, and it might turn into the ultimate dance floor when the parties kick off after the race cars are back in pits. Kamalaya Kamalaya has a large top deck for watching the Monaco Grand Prix While I won't go so far to say Kamalaya's interior is just like Claridge's £60,000/per night penthouse. I will say that Kamalaya's interiors were designed by Remi Tessier who designed Claridge's £60,000/per night penthouse which spans the entire rooftop of the hotel and features 75 works by Damien Hirst. The Zen-like interior of Kamalaya I will also say that when Kamalaya is not trackside at the Monaco Grand Prix, she's can be found cruising anywhere from Svalbard to San Tropez. Lady Trudy Lady Trudy at anchor Some people say the 42.6-meter long Lady Trudy built by CRN is the perfect charter yacht for the Monaco Grand Prix in that size range because exterior deck spaces are comparable to those found on a 50 meter yacht. Now, I can't say for sure just how big the deck spaces are. But I will venture a guess that the outdoor cinema and comfortable outdoor seating might just make for a perfect Monaco Grand Prix viewing experience. Extra Time Extra Time underway The Conrad C144s Extra Time was launched last year and features a Reymond Langton Design exterior, a M2Atelier-designed interior, and naval architecture from Diana Yacht Design. And it will be a killer spot to watch the race simply because, no matter what yacht you are on, no other sporting event connects with the fans quite like the Monaco Grand Prix. Stay tuned as I'll be adding more yachts to this list as I learn about their presence at the Monaco Grand Prix.
