F1 GP Monaco 2023 timetables: dates and favorites

Formula 1 returns to Europe, marking the start of the season on the old continent after the cancellation of the race at Imola. The next Formula 1 destination will be Monaco, replacing Miami. Monte Carlo will host the legendary Grand Prix, one of the most famous in the world . It's time to find out the times and ways to watch the race on TV and online.

The Monaco Grand Prix will be the first major event of the season in Europe for the year 2023. The usual calendar for the coming months will be revealed, with the standard format of the races. As far as favorites go, the early races seem to give the Red Bull team the edge. However, it will be interesting to see what Ferrari, Mercedes and Aston Martin can achieve on a circuit as special as Monaco.

Monaco is the perfect circuit for an Aston Martin or Ferrari surprise

Max Verstappen is widely considered the favorite at Monaco , given his Red Bull team's great dominance in the previous five races. However, the internal duel with Sergio Pérez, renowned for his skills on the street circuits, will be interesting to follow. The battle between the two Red Bull drivers seems to be the only source of excitement as we wait to find out the winner of the world championship.

Aston Martin has established itself as the closest competitor in the competition. Fernando Alonso's outstanding performance at the start of the season was a pleasant surprise, and it has already been confirmed as a real threat. It will be crucial to see if Aston Martin has been able to tweak its rear wing , which showed a lot of promise in Miami with the new DRS system.

The situation at Ferrari is troubled , but the Monaco Grand Prix could be an ideal opportunity for them, as they usually excel in qualifying. Mercedes are already planning to change the design of their car and they could introduce it as soon as Monaco, which could jeopardize the whole season. However, the Aston Martin team teases them by using the same engine.

As far as timings are concerned, there will be cars on track at lunchtime. Indeed, the qualifications will take place on Saturday at 4:00 p.m., while the race will take place on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. Friday practice sessions will take place at 5:00 p.m. These times are the same as those of the other races of the hat-trick we are facing.

It is recommended to remain vigilant with the weather forecast, as we could have a race under difficult weather conditions. Over the past week, it has been raining in Monaco, and forecasts indicate that it could rain for all three days of the Monaco Grand Prix.
