Listen, if you’re anything like me, you’ve got a thing for the Grand Prix that’s kinda hard to explain. I mean, the sounds of those engines, right? Anyway, you gotta know where to catch all that racing action—like, if you’re scrambling for some commentary, BBC Radio 5 Live is your buddy. But that’s not all; they got practice and qualifying sorted on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2. Just grab the BBC Sounds app, or hit up their website, whatever floats your boat.
Here’s something cool, though—most smart speakers can tune you in! Yep, just say something like, “Hey, can you get BBC Sounds to play the Monaco Grand Prix?”—and you’re golden. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if smart speakers understand me better than people do. Weird, right?
Oh, and take my advice—check out the Chequered Flag podcast. They got all the juicy previews and reviews. Sometimes I skip to the parts where they argue about the best overtakes. I’ve got no patience, really.
Alright, hold up—time’s in BST, so just double-check that if you’re somewhere else.
Friday hits, and we’ve got the first practice from 12:30 to 1:30. It’s on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2 and all the other jazz. Then swing back at 4 till 5 for the second run.
Zoom to Saturday, mind you. Third practice kicks off at 11:30, lasts an hour. Then qualifying revs up at 3, and boom—they’ve packed your day.
Finally, it’s race day, Sunday—2 PM sharp. That’s the real deal on BBC Radio 5 Live. You’re not gonna wanna miss when everything hits the fan. Trust me, it’s like an adrenaline shot with a side of chaos.
