Monaco GP 2024: Here is full schedule for crown jewel event of F1 in Monte Carlo this week

This weekend marks the eighth race of the year with a highly anticipated F1 Monaco GP 2024 in Monte Carlo. Renowned as the crown jewel of Formula 1, Monaco's circuit is famous for its challenging layout and glamorous atmosphere. 

Last year's race saw Max Verstappen take victory, with Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon completing the podium, especially as a mid-race rain shower dramatically altered the race dynamics. This event is the second European race of the season, aligning with a familiar summer schedule. 

The weekend kicks off with practice sessions on Friday, May 24th, followed by the crucial qualifying rounds on Saturday, May 25th. The main event, a demanding 78-lap race, will be held on Sunday, May 26th, starting at 14:00 GMT.

Can Lando Norris stop Max Verstappen’s winning chariot?

Fans and teams alike are eagerly awaiting the race, known for its tight corners, narrow streets, and the high skill level required to navigate the circuit. With the potential for unpredictable weather and the inherent difficulty of overtaking Monaco, making a strategy and precision will be key. 

As the 2024 season progresses, all eyes will be on the drivers as they vie for glory in one of the most prestigious races on the F1 calendar. The biggest challenger for Max Verstappen will be McLaren’sLando Norris. 

Norris won Miami Grand Prix with a huge gap of seven seconds while he lost to Verstappen at Imola by a mere .7 seconds. Norris will be keen to overcome the challenge and make his way to another podium finish of the season.
