A legendary race in the heart of Monaco

The Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco is an unmissable event on the FIA Formula 1 World Championship calendar, and one of the sport’s most iconic races. First held in 1929, it is regarded as one of the most prestigious motorsport competitions in the world, alongside the Indianapolis 500, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Rallye Monte-Carlo WRC. Its unique circuit stands out for its spectacular urban layout, winding through the very heart of the Principality of Monaco. Both impressive and unforgiving, the Monaco circuit leaves no room for error, demanding millimetre-perfect precision, unwavering focus, and absolute technical mastery from the drivers. As such, the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco is widely recognized as one of the most challenging and rewarding tests in the championship. The next edition will take place from 4 to 7 June 2026, marking the opening round of the European leg of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. The official ticket office will open in the coming weeks. Stay tuned! More than just a race, the Monaco Grand Prix embodies a certain vision of Formula 1: one of historical heritage, outstanding organization, and a unique setting between sea and mountains — making it a truly one-of-a-kind event.

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…
