For some, it’s the most glamorous Grand Prix of the season, while for others, it’s a logistical nightmare, or maybe both all rolled into one. In fact, Monaco is a race that follows in the wake of quirks and peculiarities. It is the shortest track on the calendar, at just 3.340 kilometres in length and it’s the only race that comes in under 300 kilometres, because of the low average speed. But it is also the longest weekend, because free practice gets underway on Thursday, with the timetable built around the Ascension Day holiday.

2019 Monaco Grand Prix weather forecast (Weather Info Monte Carlo):

From the Formula 1 teams’ point of view, different weather conditions can result in very different races, and Formula 1 teams adapt their strategy accordingly, for example using different tyres in wet conditions, and taking account of cross winds which can cause stability problems at high speeds. It is always well worth checking the weather before any grand prix as it can often throw a curve ball into the mix, although this time Monte Carlo will most likely be a straightforward weekend. Conditions appear excellent ahead of the 2019 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix weekend. The temperature for race day is expected to be around 20-21 degrees, while according to the latest forecast, there is no chance of rain for Thursday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon. The race day will be warm and will receive abundant sunshine.
