The 2025 Formula 1 season continues its European leg with its eighth race of the season, the Monaco Grand Prix, which will take place on Sunday, May 25.

Reigning Drivers' champion Max Verstappen bounced back to winning ways last week in Italy, winning the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix for the second consecutive year.

Ferrari had a strong showing last year in Monaco, with Charles Leclerc winning the race, while his former teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. finished third on the podium. 

They will hope for a strong showing this time around, improving upon Lewis Hamilton's fourth-placed finish last week.
