The Formula 1 calendar heads into its most glamorous stop as teams and drivers gear up for the iconic Monaco Grand Prix, where the streets of Monte Carlo once again become the stage for one of motorsport's most prestigious events.
Famed for its tight, twisting corners and unforgiving barriers, the Monaco circuit offers minimal room for error and even fewer overtaking opportunities. It's a venue that rewards precision over power, and in 2025, the challenge will be even steeper.
The FIA's introduction of a compulsory two-stop strategy is set to add a new dimension to the race, forcing teams to think on their feet and drivers to adapt on the fly.
Fresh off a commanding display at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, Max Verstappen enters the weekend in fine form. The Red Bull ace made an audacious move around the outside of Oscar Piastri on the opening lap at Imola and never relinquished control, expertly managing tyres and race tempo to cruise to the top step of the podium.
Lando Norris, meanwhile, clawed his way into second place late in the race, edging past teammate Piastri and narrowing the gap in the championship standings.
