The 2026 Monaco Grand Prix live streams will likely see Kimi Antonelli extend his lead in the Drivers' Championship ahead of teammate George Russell, who is starting P6 after finishing nearly four-tenths adrift of the 19-year-old Italian in qualifying.
Russell admitted that the changes to this year's car do not suit his driving style and said he has been left "bamboozled" by his drop in pace. Although Antonelli is starting on pole, he'll have to watch out for the ever-threatening Max Verstappen in P2 and the fast-starting Ferrari of Lewis Hamilton in P3, especially considering his own subpar race starts this season.
Speaking of Ferrari, this is the first time that Charles Leclerc has been outqualified by his teammate at his home race. Leclerc briefly held pole position in Q3 but hit the wall on his final lap and ultimately had to settle for P4 ahead of Isack Hadjar, who proved that Red Bull has some pace around here, particularly compared to McLaren.
The papaya team will start P7 and P8 after what looks like another difficult weekend, having failed to really get things going since their nightmare outing in Canada. Here’s how to watch the Monaco Grand Prix 2026 online from anywhere and potentially for FREE.

Monaco Grand Prix 2026 Preview
Despite finishing P3 in the sprint race in Canada, Kimi Antonelli bounced back strongly to claim victory on Sunday in Montreal, albeit aided by car-related DNFs for George Russell and Lando Norris. The latter two will be the least of his worries in Monaco, as he'll now be up against 4-time champion Max Verstappen and 7-time champion Lewis Hamilton at the front.
The Papaya team came into Monaco looking to start afresh, especially after a horrible weekend in Montreal where they failed to score a single point between their two cars in the main race. But P7 and P8 starts mean they'll likely have to settle for single-digit points.
The biggest story this weekend, though, has been Ferrari. After dominating FP1 and FP2 and giving the Tifosi hope that a double podium was highly likely, they fell away when it mattered most in qualifying. They'll be starting on the second row, but with virtually no long straights in Monaco – which is why we won't be seeing Straight Mode at all – one of their biggest weaknesses this season should be far less of a factor.
All that said, the fact remains that Monaco is the most difficult circuit on the calendar to overtake. Last year, there were just four on-track overtakes all race, and while this year's cars are 10 cm narrower, that is unlikely to change the fundamental nature of the race.
