F1 Monaco Grand Prix qualifying – Start time, how to watch, channel

Ferrari set the pace in Friday practice ahead of the Monaco GP qualifying, with Charles Leclerc topping the times in both FP1 and FP2.

Red Bull was again Ferrari's top rival through practice, while McLaren emerged as the third-quickest team courtesy of Lando Norris.

With the streets of Monaco offering limited opportunities for overtaking, qualifying could well end up deciding who will win the most prestigious race on the 2022 F1 calendar.

Qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix will begin at 4pm local time (+2 GMT) at the Circuit de Monaco in Monte Carlo. The three-part session will last approximately one hour, although red flags could lead to delays.
