A legendary race at the heart of Monaco!

The Monaco Grand Prix is an iconic motorsport event of the Formula 1 World Championship, held each year on the streets of Monte Carlo since 1929. Widely regarded as one of the most prestigious races in the world, alongside the Indianapolis 500, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Rallye Monte-Carlo in motorsport legend, for the first time in 2025, the race adopted a title sponsor, becoming the “Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco.” This milestone results from a partnership between Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer and luxury group LVMH, further strengthening their presence in the world of Formula 1. Already the Official Timekeeper of Formula 1 and a partner of the Automobile Club de Monaco since 2011, TAG Heuer deepens its commitment to motorsport. This collaboration marks a new era for the Monaco Grand Prix — one that combines heritage with innovation. Since its inception in 1929, drivers and teams have relished the challenge of racing on the narrow, undulating streets of the Principality of Monaco, with its sharp corners, elevation changes, and iconic tunnel. It remains one of the most demanding circuits on the Formula 1 calendar — and one that every team and driver dreams of winning.

F1: Hamilton 7th on the grid…

The 3-place penalty was imposed last night, more than two hours after the end of a suspenseful qualifying session: Lewis Hamilton will start from 7^th place (instead of 4^th place, behind team-mate Charles Leclerc) on the grid this Sunday at 3pm for the 82^nd Formula 1 TAG Heuer Monaco Grand Prix. The race stewards ruled that the Ferrari driver, who was idling at the Massenet bend just before the Casino de Monte-Carlo, had impeded Max Verstappen (Red Bull), who was on a fast lap, during qualifying on Saturday afternoon.

The rules were applied to the letter, with no exceptions or derogations possible, even if the seven-time world champion was not necessarily trying to harm his successor in the championship, four times in a row. And as a direct consequence of this sanction, it is Verstappen who climbs onto the 2^nd row alongside Oscar Piastri (McLaren), the leader of the 2025 championship.

On the 3^rd row, Frenchman Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls) will start next to another World Champion, Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin). Another driver was heavily penalised on Saturday: Lance Stroll (Aston Martin), with a total of four places lost. One for impeding Leclerc on Friday during free practice, and three for impeding Pierre Gasly (Alpine) on Saturday in qualifying. The Canadian will start 19^th.

As an indirect consequence of this penalty, the race strategies will be even more out of sync for certain drivers, including Hamilton, who is pushed back to the 4^th row. It is highly likely that Ferrari will play the card of a premature stop for the Englishman, in order to muddy the waters and get McLaren’s strategists thinking. And the fans will be in for a treat, with two compulsory pit stops, not to mention the very probable periods with a Safety Car.. Wait and see, as they say in England…
