From Friday, the Formula 1 elite will once again be doing their rounds in Monaco, where a real spectacle will take place in the narrow streets of the principality. On the first day, the first two free training sessions are on the program at 1:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. The third training session and qualifying (4 p.m.) follow on Saturday (12:30 p.m.). The Grand Prix starts on Sunday at 3 p.m. RTL broadcasts the qualifying race of the premier motorsport class LIVE on TV.
Overtaking impossible, too much depends on qualifying! The criticisms of the Formula 1 race in Monaco are as old as the race itself. But it’s also true: Hardly any other Grand Prix captivates the masses as much as the spectacle in the streets of Monaco.
By the way, it is already the 82nd time that the stars of the scene in the Principality have taken the wheel, or rather the steering wheel, into each other’s hands. Most recently there were four different winners: Lando Norris triumphed in a McLaren in 2025, local hero Charles Leclerc in a Ferrari in 2024, Max Verstappen in a Red Bull in 2023 and Sergio Pérez (Red Bull) in 2022.
German successes are anything but in short supply
There have also been a few German winners in the not too distant past: record world champion Michael Schumacher won in 1994, 1995 (both times in the Benetton) and in 1997, 1999 and 2001 in the Ferrari. Behind the Red Bull steering wheel, Sebastian Vettel also achieved success in 2011, and in 2017 the Heppenheimer repeated his triumph in the Ferrari cockpit. Nico Rosberg landed at the top of the podium three times in a row in a Mercedes between 2013 and 2015.
Only Ayrton Senna, who saluted from the middle podium of the winner’s podium six times (1987, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993), won more often than Schumacher.
In 2026, however, the chances of a German victory are anything but good: Nico Hülkenberg is the only German driver in the field. In the Audi, “Hulk” didn’t get past eleventh place in 2026.
Rather, the role of favorite lies with World Cup leader Kimi Antonelli, his Mercedes teammate George Russell, the Ferrari stars Leclerc and Hamilton, the McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris or Verstappen.
