Upcoming Events
Kimi Antonelli is the winner of the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 ! The Mercedes driver has secured his fifth consecutive victory ! The podium is rounded out by Lewis Hamilton (2nd) and Isack Hadjar (3rd).
What a race we had at the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 ! In a nail-biting finish, Kimi Antonelli took a brilliant victory to become the youngest winner in Monaco’s history. The race was full of dramatic twists and turns, from a flurry of penalties to the retirements of Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc. The standings were completely shaken up behind an imperious leader. A look back at a wild race, from the first to the last lap
At just 19 years, 9 months, and 13 days, Kimi Antonelli didn’t just win a race, he wrote one of the most sensational chapters in the modern era of Formula 1. He has now surpassed Lewis Hamilton, crowned at the age of 23 years, 4 months, and 18 days on the Rock, to set the new record for the youngest winner. He also ended Italy’s 22-year wait by succeeding Jarno Trulli (2004). With this fifth consecutive victory, the young prodigy is in a league of his own.
Beyond the personal achievement, this demonstration of strength feels like a true breakthrough for Mercedes. Thanks to its new rising star, the team led by Toto Wolff has finally returned to the top step of the podium in Monaco. It’s the first time since Hamilton’s last victory here in 2019.
This unchallenged dominance is starkly evident in the gulf between him and his teammate George Russell, who left the Principality without a single point after a grueling weekend. The Italian, meanwhile, swept everything in his path with disconcerting mastery. “Once I took the lead and found myself in P1 at the first corner, all I had to do was enjoy the final laps,” was his analysis at the finish.
Now leading the championship with a comfortable 64-point lead over Lewis Hamilton, Antonelli is already setting the tone for what’s to come : “The season is still long, and we must continue to fight and keep raising the bar. Our goal is to maintain this level of performance.”
This race was marked above all by a veritable mechanical disaster. The tone was set the moment the lights went out : let down by an engine that couldn’t rev up, Max Verstappen was stuck on the grid. It was the start of a disastrous Sunday where reliability was generally lacking, striking one after another : Valtteri Bottas, Oliver Bearman, and then Lando Norris’s McLaren midway through the race.
Even among the survivors, mechanical issues caused some heart-stopping moments. Isack Hadjar had to fight hard for his podium finish, dealing early on with a faulty gearbox and a car he himself described as “undriveable” at times. A true string of breakdowns that served as a harsh reminder that the day’s first challenge was simply to keep a car running.
In a more unusual turn of events, a flurry of speeding penalties also rained down on the pit lane. Lewis Hamilton kicked things off on lap 34 with a five-second penalty, quickly followed by George Russell. The trouble then spread throughout the field : Franco Colapinto, Pierre Gasly, and Oscar Piastri were each penalized by race control for the same infraction.
The chaos reached its peak on lap 66. Just as the safety car had pulled in, Charles Leclerc spun off the track in his Ferrari in the final corner. Furious at this retirement on home ground, the Monegasque driver lambasted a total and “unacceptable” failure of his rear brakes on a car that had become “undriveable.” This incident caused the race to be interrupted by a red flag, temporarily halting the action before an explosive final sprint.
The last standing start provided one more thrill for the Principality. While the imperious Kimi Antonelli maintained the lead with clinical composure, the rest of the field once again fell apart. George Russell dropped to a distant 14th place after serving his penalty.
Isack Hadjar, who was briefly shaken up at the restart, held his ground. Overcoming mechanical issues, the Frenchman pulled off a monumental effort to secure third place. “Being on the podium with Lewis is a dream,” he savored at the finish, bringing a totally crazy Grand Prix to a perfect close.
The new trophies for the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 were presented on the podium by TT. SS. HH. Prince Albert II of Monaco and Princess Charlène, and Me Michel Boeri, President of the Automobile Club de Monaco. Following the ceremonies, Kimi Antonelli carried on the new Monegasque tradition by diving into Port Hercule. The race winner will attend the Grand Prix Gala organized by the ACM this evening.
The feature races in the support categories provided the perfect start to the final day of the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026. With F2, F3, and the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup all in action, Sunday morning delivered its share of strategic battles and decisive overtakes.
The three support categories gave spectators a superb preview as the opening act to the Formula 1 race at 3:00 pm. Nikola Tsolov (Campos Racing) in F2, Brando Badoer (Rodin Motorsport) in F3, and Theo Oeverhaus (Martinet by Almeras) in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup were the three winners. A look back at this exciting morning on Sunday, June 7th, at the Monaco Circuit.
Another impressive show of strength from Nikola Tsolov (Campos Racing) ! The Red Bull Junior Team protégé claimed his third victory in the Principality. Starting from second place, he took the lead with just seven laps to go. Alexander Dunne (Rodin Motorsport) secured a superb second-place finish, followed by Dino Beganovic (DAMS Lucas Oil).
The race took a surprising turn during the pit stops. Trapped by cold tires that made the cars particularly difficult to control, the drivers had to deal with tricky exit laps. These precarious grip conditions reshuffled the deck and led to some spectacular overtaking maneuvers late in the race.
For the favorites, it’s a weekend to forget. Struggling after his pit stop, pole sitter Rafael Câmara (Invicta Racing) drove straight on at Sainte-Dévote and retired while battling with Tsolov. Gabriele Minì (MP Motorsport) also lost out big time : a poor pit stop cost him any chances of scoring points. While he barely retains the championship lead, his advantage over Tsolov is now down to a single point.
A brilliant performance by Brando Badoer (Rodin Motorsport) : starting from second place, he clinched a superb first victory in Formula 3. Pole-sitter Théophile Naël (Campos Racing), caught off guard right from the start, had to settle for second place. He finished ahead of Freddie Slater (Trident), who rounded out the podium.
Much calmer than the previous day’s sprint event, this feature race was marked by the drivers’ high level of discipline. Despite a brief safety car period following an incident at the Rascasse on the first lap, the order at the front remained unchanged. The real spectacle unfolded at the back of the pack, the scene of some fantastic battles.
A successful race for Ugo Ugochukwu (Campos Racing). By crossing the finish line in a very solid 4th place, the championship leader has significantly extended his lead in the overall standings. The top three remains exactly the same following this race in Monaco.
Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup : Oeverhaus in controlTotal domination for Theo Oeverhaus in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup ! Untouchable from the pole position, the German driver dominated from start to finish to claim victory in this season’s opening race. At the finish line, he beat the highly promising rookie Andrea Bristot (Dinamic Motorsport SRL) and Gustav Burton (Team GP Elite).
Unlike last year, the race went off without a hitch this time. In a race where the front-runners locked in their positions right from the start, Robert de Haan (BWT Lechner Racing) suffered the day’s only disappointment. The Dutchman, who led Friday’s Free Practice sessions, ultimately fell just short of the podium, finishing in a bitter 4th place.
Kimi Antonelli has secured pole position for the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026. The Mercedes driver finished just 0.043 seconds ahead of Max Verstappen. Lewis Hamilton will start third, just ahead of his team-mate Charles Leclerc.
There are timed laps that make legends, and this one will go down in the history of the Principality. The unbeatable Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) secured a historic pole position, the very first of his young career in Monaco, after a nail-biting finish. It all came down to the wire, in the final corners of the last sector, where the World Championship leader snatched the fastest time and made Max Verstappen fold.
After getting out of his car, the Italian prodigy took stock of his achievement : “It’s one of those laps you call magic… I managed to put it all together, and it’s incredible. Thanks to the whole team, because on Friday we were a bit off the pace, and today (Saturday) we managed to find those tenths we were missing.”
This spectacular lap caps off a stratospheric start to the season. Since the Chinese Grand Prix, Antonelli has been in a league of his own, leaving the helpless competition in the dust, much like his teammate George Russell, who has to settle for 6th place on the grid. Above all, this performance cements his place in the history of his sport. The last Italian to triumph at the Principality was none other than Jarno Trulli, in 2004, who also started from pole position. Let’s take a look back at the most exciting qualifying session of the year.
Q1: Bortoleto loses everything
As early as the first segment of qualifying, the axe fell on some teams. Despite starting the weekend with high hopes, Haas saw its dreams dashed prematurely, pushed out of the top 16 by both Williams cars. The Cadillac and Aston Martin drivers also failed to advance.
Another dramatic moment in Q1 : on his final attempt, Gabriel Bortoleto hit the barrier at the Chicane. The Brazilian ruined his chances of making it to Q2, even though he had already qualified for it. Among the favorites, the pecking order held true, with one exception : the McLarens closed the gap significantly on the fastest times compared to free practice.
Q2 : The Red Bull revelation
At the end of the session, Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar burst onto the scene out of nowhere to climb to the top of the standings. The Dutchman set the fastest time, just ahead of Kimi Antonelli, who finished ahead of the Frenchman. It was an impressive performance that puts both Red Bulls back on track ahead of the final session, which will determine pole position.
In the middle of the pack, Pierre Gasly and Liam Lawson secured a spot in Q3 at the last minute. They finished ahead of the Williams cars driven by Carlos Sainz and Alexander Albon. The two Audi drivers, along with Franco Colapinto and Arvid Lindblad, were the others eliminated in this session.
Q3 : Antonelli outperforms Verstappen
The battle for pole position went down to the wire. On his final attempt, Kimi Antonelli snatched first place from Max Verstappen by 43 thousandths of a second. Already in third after his first lap, Lewis Hamilton finished a few lengths ahead of his teammate. Isack Hadjar secured a solid fifth place, despite a weekend that had started out on the rails.
George Russell once again struggled against his teammate. The Mercedes driver secured 6th place after a session to forget. Behind him were the two McLarens, which has been disappointing since the start of Free Practice.
The qualifying session sparked excitement among the thousands of spectators filling the grandstands. During the race, Kimi Antonelli could shatter the record for the youngest-ever Grand Prix winner in Monaco at 19 years, 9 months, and 13 days. The current record holder is Lewis Hamilton (at 23 years, 4 months, and 18 days). He would also become the third Italian to win a Formula 1 race, joining Jarno Trulli and Riccardo Patrese. History will be made this Sunday, June 7th, so tune in at 3 pm for the race start !
The races have finally begun on this third day of the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 ! The F2 and F3 sprint races took place this Saturday, and the drivers gave it their all to prove themselves.
The first battles took place under the Monegasque sun this Saturday. Noel Leon (Campos Racing) in F2 and Hiyu Yamakoshi (Van Amersfoort Racing) in F3 won the day’s two sprint races. A look back at the weekend’s opening rounds at the Monaco Circuit.
Noel Leon (Campos Racing) continued his winning streak in the sprint race. Having already claimed victory two weeks ago, the Mexican dominated the race from start to finish in Monaco. Roman Bilinski (DAMS Lucas Oil) finished second, a few lengths ahead of championship leader Gabriele Minì (MP Motorsport).
It was a relatively calm sprint race, with no major incidents on the track, but enlivened by some impressive overtaking. By the end of the race, however, significant gaps had opened up between the drivers due to a fierce battle for the fastest lap. In Formula 2, drivers finishing in the top 10 earn a bonus point if they set the fastest lap of the race. In this challenge, Nikola Tsolov (Campos Racing) came out on top, securing a valuable extra point for the championship. The main race will take place this Sunday, June 7th, at 9:25 am.
Starting from pole position, Hiyu Yamakoshi (Van Amersfoort Racing) claimed his first-ever sprint race victory. Gerrard Xie (DAMS Lucas Oil) took second place, closely followed by Bruno Del Pino (Van Amersfoort Racing), who completed the podium.
The race was marked by several track interventions by the race stewards. The Fairmont hairpin, in particular, was the scene of two incidents involving several cars. The sprint race was interrupted by a 30-minute red flag, which was not enough to cool the drivers’ tempers. Following a collision with Ernesto Rivera (Campos Racing), Freddie Slater (Trident) received a 10-second penalty.
The pole sitter for tomorrow’s feature race, Théophile Naël (Campos Racing), forced to start 12th due to the reverse grid, couldn’t do anything to avoid the contact. The Frenchman finished in last place in the sprint race. See you for the main race this Sunday at 7:45 am on the streets of the Principality.
Kimi Antonelli set the fastest time in FP3. The Mercedes driver finished ahead of the Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc, while Lewis Hamilton took third place in this final Free Practice session ahead of George Russell.
Kimi Antonelli is finally proving himself in Monaco ! The championship leader set the fastest time in the third and final free practice session. While Scuderia Ferrari remains at the front of the grid, McLaren and Red Bull appear to be struggling on the princely circuit. The end of the session was, however, disrupted by Oliver Bearman spinning off the track at the Massenet corner.
While Scuderia Ferrari started this final Free Practice session at the front of the grid, the Silver Arrows quickly showed their strengths. Kimi Antonelli became the first driver of the weekend to break the 1’13″000 mark. Midway through the session, the German team even placed both of its cars at the top of the timesheet, watched by thousands of spectators packed into the grandstands.
Meanwhile, George Russell, the championship leader’s teammate, struggled more. At the end of the session, the Briton was 0″763 seconds behind the Italian, a significant gap that he would have to close during qualifying.
In the middle of the field, the competition is heating up. While Audi appears to hold a slight edge after these Free Practice sessions, Alpine, Williams, and Haas have proven they’re teams to be reckoned with. This is a reassuring trend for the American team, which kept pace despite the valuable track time lost by Oliver Bearman following his mistake 15 minutes before the checkered flag.
Now it’s time for the decisive qualifying session on the streets of the Principality. The battle promises to be fierce right down to the final timed lap : see you at 4 pm.
The second day of the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco was marked by qualifying sessions for the support categories. Spectators turned out in large numbers to watch the young drivers prove their worth.
With twists, turns and red flags, the support category’s qualifying sessions provided a spectacular show on Friday, June 5th. Rafael Câmara (Invicta Racing), Théophile Naël (Campos Racing) and Robert De Haan (BWT Lechner Racing) secured the day’s three pole positions. A look back at this thrilling day at the Monaco Circuit.
The rookie Rafael Câmara (Invicta Racing) has secured his first F2 pole position ! Despite a collision early in the session, the Brazilian driver clocked a time of 1’20″923. For the main race, Nikola Tsolov (Campos Racing) will start from second place, while Alexander Dunne (Rodin Motorsport) will start from third.
Qualifying was eventful for both groups, with each session seeing a red flag. In the first one, the interruption allowed Invicta Racing to repair their driver’s car and secure pole position. Championship leader Gabriele Minì (MP Motorsport), starting only 7th on the grid, will have to fight hard to score big points on Sunday. In the sprint race, due to the reverse grid, Joshua Durksen (Invicta Racing) will start from pole position this Saturday, June 6th at 2:45 pm.
French driver Théophile Naël has secured his second consecutive pole position ! The Campos Racing driver clocked a time of 1’24″471. Brando Badoer (Rodin Motorsport) took second place, 0″141 seconds behind, and Freddie Slater (Trident) rounded out the top three, 0″406 seconds behind the pole-sitter.
It was a fairly quiet qualifying session on the track, despite a few incidents involving the rails. Championship leader Ugo Ugochukwu (Campos Racing) finished fourth in the session. Taking advantage of improved track conditions, the drivers set their fastest laps in the second half of qualifying. In the sprint race, Hiyu Yamakoshi (Van Amersfoort Racing) will start from pole position, thanks in part to the reverse grid. The lights will go out this Saturday at 10:45 am.
Theo Oeverhaus (Martinet by Almeras) secures his second career pole position! The German set a time of 1’31″865, a record in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. Andrea Bristot (Dinamic Motorsport SRL) took second place, 0.101 seconds behind, and Gustav Burton (Team GP Elite) rounded out the top three, 0.131 seconds behind the pole-sitter.
Robert de Haan (BWT Lechner Racing), the reigning runner-up, finished only fourth, held up by heavy traffic on the streets of Monaco. See you this Sunday, June 7th, for the race at 11:45 am, the final event before the Formula 1 race.
Lewis Hamilton set the fastest time in Free Practice 2, the British driver finishing ahead of his Scuderia Ferrari teammate, Charles Leclerc. Max Verstappen once again finished third in the session, ahead of both Mercedes.
Scuderia Ferrari is back on top at the Monaco Circuit ! This time, it is Lewis Hamilton who set the fastest time in the FP2, in an another session dominated by the Italian team. Mercedes and Red Bull remain slightly behind as the first day comes to an end. FP2 was marked by Lando Norris’s retirement due to a mechanical issue, as well as a red flag at the end of the session caused by Sergio Pérez coming to a stop on the track.
Already leading the first free practice session, the Scuderia Ferrari wasted no time in stepping up a gear. But this time, Charles Leclerc was right on the mark from the start. George Russell, Kimi Antonelli, and Max Verstappen closed in, but without causing any concern for the Maranello team’s drivers.
After his spin in FP1, Isack Hadjar (6th) was able to count on the exceptional work of his mechanics to get back on track. A bit further down the standings, Audi, which has high hopes for this weekend, impressed with its efficiency on the Principality’s track : its two drivers finished 8th and 9th.
After finishing the first practice session more than a second off the fastest time, McLaren failed to improve in FP2. Oscar Piastri ended the session 1″062 behind the leader, while Lando Norris was unable to complete his second run of the day.
In the Aston Martin garage, things aren’t looking too good either. After finishing the two sessions in 20th and 22nd places, the British team is dealing with a gearbox issue. Reliability could be a problem during the Grand Prix.
See you this Saturday, June 6, at 12:30 p. for the final free practice session ahead of qualifying for the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026. Just like today, the drivers will be at the MGP Live Fanzone from 10:20 am to 11:10 am this Saturday.
Charles Leclerc wins FP1, the Scuderia Ferrari driver finishing ahead of his teammate Lewis Hamilton. Max Verstappen finished third in the session, ahead of both Mercedes.
It’s time, the F1 cars are on the track ! Charles Leclerc set the fastest time in the first free practice session. It was dominated from start to finish by Ferrari. Mercedes and the other top teams were further behind, on a track that was still slippery, making it difficult to find a good pace. The session was marked by two red flags, caused by Isack Hadjar and Fernando Alonso.
Right from the start, the drivers had a tough time getting going. With everyone on hard tires, it was difficult to get a feel on the track. Charles Leclerc couldn’t push as hard as his teammate in the opening minutes.
Traffic is also already a problem, with 22 cars on the track at the same time this year. Lando Norris expected it to be tough : “At some point it’s going to be intense that’s for sure.”
With all eyes on them in the Principality, the Scuderia confirmed their status. As track conditions improved, both cars found themselves at the front. The Monegasque driver finally settled into his rhythm and led the field by nearly five-tenths of a second at the halfway point of the session.
The end of FP1 was marked by two red flags. With 25 minutes remaining in the session, Isack Hadjar spun out at the Piscine corner. Fernando Alonso, meanwhile, made slight contact with the barrier at the tunnel exit, right at the very end of the session, leaving debris on the track. Both incidents were handled quickly and safely by the Monaco Grand Prix marshals.
The leaders of the constructors’ championship got off to a shaky start to the weekend. George Russell was only able to close the gap on his teammate after ditching the hard tires. The Brit finished the session in 5th place, 0”466 seconds behind Kimi Antonelli (4th).
See you at 5 pm for the second free practice session, where the race pace will be more closely examined.
For the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026, the ACM is unveiling a brand-new trophy. From the incorporation of a diamond to its carbon fiber structure, here’s a closer look at a new trophy that embodies the high standards and prestige of this mystic race.
The legendary layout of the Monaco Circuit now has its own trophy crafted from carbon fiber and 24-karat gold. Pushing the boundaries of mechanical precision, the trophy for the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 features the name of every turn on the circuit. Crafted in Italy, the piece is also encrusted with a flag of the Principality, cold-enamelled, and a diamond set on the start/finish line. The monegasque identity is now at the heart of the trophy, like a distinctive signature.
Designed in the exact shape of the circuit, the piece stands nearly 57 cm tall. She will make her public debut this Sunday on the starting grid in another spectacular setting : a custom-made official Louis Vuitton case. Finally, on the podium, the trophy will be presented by H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco to the winner of the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026.
Present since 1929 on the global motorsports scene, the Monaco Grand Prix is one of the most prestigious races. It demands extreme technical skill and leaves no room for driving errors. Above all, a victory in the Principality is one of the three stages of motorsport’s prestigious “Triple Crown,” alongside the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Indianapolis 500. Lifting this trophy is therefore a testament to absolute mastery.
While the trophy has long taken the form of a classic cup, then a sleek silver ribbon following the track’s contours, this 2026 version marks a technological evolution. The trophy moves away from traditional craftsmanship to fuse automotive engineering with fine jewelry.
✨ L’un des trophées les plus emblématiques du sport automobile se réinvente
Réalisé en carbone, sublimé par l’or 24 carats et serti d’un diamant symbolisant la ligne de départ et d’arrivée, il incarne l’excellence, la précision et le prestige d’une victoire en Principauté 🇲🇨💎… pic.twitter.com/6CwVI9tgJx

The opening day of the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 was marked by plenty of action on the track. The support series kicked things off in the Principality, and the circuit served as a reminder that performance is often decided at the very limit.
A flood of red flags in the support categories ! On Thursday, June 4, the F2, F3, and Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup entered the scene. The free practice sessions were eventful and frequently interrupted by on-track incidents. Despite this, the favorites still delivered.
F2 : Minì and the Alpine Academy trio
The F2 cars were set to take to the track for their only free practice session on Thursday, June 4, but the Monaco Circuit was not kind to them. Two red flags, one at the start and the other at the end of the session. Caught off guard, Oliver Goethe (MP Motorsport) and Rafael Villagómez (Van Amersfoort Racing) didn’t have much time to get their pace right before qualifying.
The Alpine Academy trio dominated the free practice session. Championship leader Gabriele Minì (MP Motorsport) finished on top ahead of Kush Maini (ART Grand Prix). Alexander Dunne (Rodin Motorsport) finished the trials in third place..
F3 : Naël leads a disrupted and then extended session
Just like in F2, the Formula 3 free practice session was also interrupted. James Wharton (PREMA Racing) lost control in the Louis Chiron corner, causing a red flag. To give the drivers more time before qualifying, the session was extended by 15 minutes.
At the end of the one-hour practice session, Théophile Naël (Campos Racing) finished in first place ahead of Freddie Slater (Trident). Championship leader after just one race, Ugo Ugochukwu (Campos Racing) placed third.
Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup : A Dutch hat-trick
To wrap up the day, the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup was no different from the other two support categories. The stewards intervened twice on the track : first at the Casino (Marcus Amand – BWT Lechner Racing), and then at the Tunnel exit (Rodin Younessi – Proton Competition) toward the end of the session.
In the standings, Dirk Schouten (Looping by CarTech) finished in first place. Closely followed by Robert de Haan (BWT Lechner Racing) in second place and his compatriot Flynt Schuring (Schumacher CLRT) in third.
