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.    " ["post_title"]=> string(30) "Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco" ["post_excerpt"]=> string(0) "" ["post_status"]=> string(7) "publish" ["comment_status"]=> string(6) "closed" ["ping_status"]=> string(6) "closed" ["post_password"]=> string(0) "" ["post_name"]=> string(30) "formula-1-grand-prix-de-monaco" ["to_ping"]=> string(0) "" ["pinged"]=> string(0) "" ["post_modified"]=> string(19) "2025-07-24 12:24:51" ["post_modified_gmt"]=> string(19) "2025-07-24 10:24:51" ["post_content_filtered"]=> string(0) "" ["post_parent"]=> int(0) ["guid"]=> string(65) "https://acm.mc/epreuves/formula-1-tag-heuer-grand-prix-de-monaco/" ["menu_order"]=> int(0) ["post_type"]=> string(8) "epreuves" ["post_mime_type"]=> string(0) "" ["comment_count"]=> string(1) "0" ["filter"]=> string(3) "raw" } }

F1: Norris too strong, Leclerc in vain

He didn’t crack, he held off Charles Leclerc in his Ferrari to the very end! Lando Norris, who started from pole position, won the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco on Sunday, handing McLaren its first victory since 2008 on the streets of the Principality, the 16th overall for the British team in Monaco since Alain Prost in 1984.

Leclerc the Monegasque, who was playing at home, tried everything he could, right to the end, to defend his title and thwart the predictions in favour of the poleman, but Norris never gave him the slightest hope, or the slightest opening, and the podium was completed by another McLaren driver, Oscar Piastri, who remains at the top of the World Championship with a 3-point margin over Norris.

‘It’s a childhood dream come true,’ said Norris as he stepped out of his orange single-seater, before making his way up to the princely box to receive a gold medal from HSH Princess Charlene of Monaco, and the beautiful trophy which he will be able to carry in a trunk donated by the LVMH group.

Norris could be proud of his 6th win in F1, his second this season after Melbourne, having had a very tough time watching with Piastri’s four wins in 2025, including three in a row between the end of March and the beginning of May (Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Miami). He took ten points more this weekend than his Australian team-mate, in one go, and completely revived the championship, as there is now only a three-point gap between the two McLaren drivers (Piastri 161, Norris 158).

Leclerc’s fans hoped for a win all the way, as the Ferrari of the local hero, on medium Pirelli tyres, finished on the heels of the McLaren, on hard tyres, slowed down until two laps from the end by Max Verstappen (Red Bull). The four-time Dutch world champion, who started 4th, finished 4th having adopted a different strategy, based on stopping as late as possible to change tyres (medium then hard) and hoping for a red flag to interrupt the proceedings.

Hadjar 6th for Racing Bulls

There was no red flag, in particular because the rest of the field drove slowly behind Carlos Sainz (Williams) for a long time, and because the Racing Bulls of Isack Hadjar (6th), who had made his two compulsory stops very early on, and Liam Lawson, who was very consistent from start to finish, were never able to take advantage when the safety car came out. It was a gamble on race incidents, as for Verstappen, but it did not succeed.

This gamble had the merit of maintaining some sort of suspense, whereas Mercedes did not attempt anything at all. George Russell and Kimi Antonelli had missed their qualifying sessions, they also missed their race, finishing 11th and 18th, outside the points. While former Mercedes leader Lewis Hamilton took 5th place after another faultless race, having started 7th because of a 3-places penalty for getting in Verstappen’s way during qualifying.

We’ll remember this 82nd edition as a very intense event from start to finish, from Friday to Sunday, but that the two compulsory stops made absolutely no difference. They could have been useful, to spice up the show, if the Safety Car had come out of the pits. It remained quietly parked in the pitlane, after having been in great demand all morning, due to the pile-ups in the Formula 2 and Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup races. Everyone will meet again next week in Barcelona, for the 9th round of the 2025 Formula 1 season.
