Upcoming Events
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.

Do you have any questions about purchasing tickets or accessing the Principality during the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 ?
The Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 kicks off this Friday. On the Principality’s circuit, the battle promises to be intense between favorites Antonelli, Leclerc, and Norris. It’s a formidable grid, which will also have to adapt to new technical regulations imposed by the FIA.
The action is about to begin ! The Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 kicks off this Friday, June 5, for the top category. The day will be marked by the first two free practice sessions at 1:30 pm and 5:00 pm. It will be followed on Saturday by the EL3 (12:30 p.m.), the final session before qualifying.
Even before the first laps of the weekend, the Stade Louis II saw drivers in action on Wednesday, June 3. As part of the Racing Stars Football Cup, Pierre Gasly, Isack Hadjar, and Carlos Sainz took on the Barbagiuans of Monaco : the drivers’ team suffered a heavy 6-2 defeat. But it was a good warm-up for their first battles on the track.
A must-see on the weekend : the qualifying session on Saturday, June 6, at 4 pm. Drivers will have to push themselves to the limit to stand out and secure a desired pole position in the Principality. This is the moment when drivers can really stand out. The race will take place, as usual, on Sunday at 3 pm.
Undefeated since the Chinese Grand Prix, Kimi Antonelli has established himself as the undisputed leader so far this season. With four consecutive wins and a consistent presence on the podium since Melbourne, the statistics point to another top-tier performance for the Mercedes driver. Although he currently boasts the fastest pace behind the wheel of the most competitive car on the grid, the Italian will nevertheless have to contend with a mixed result in the Principality. In 2025, his weekend ended with an 18th-place finish in the race, three laps behind the leader. Despite this previous experience, Kimi Antonelli heads into the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 as the natural favourite.
Local hero Charles Leclerc is also a clear contender for victory following his win in 2024 and his 2nd place finish last year. While the Scuderia Ferrari car lacks top speed on the straights, it excels in slow corners. On the twisty Monaco Circuit, this technical characteristic could tip the scales in favor of the Italian team. His confidence on the track is stronger now that he has just extended his contract with Scuderia Ferrari. Having already secured three pole positions on home ground, he knows that dominance on Saturday is the cornerstone of Sunday’s success.
The grid includes another strong favourite in the person of Lando Norris. As the current world champion and the most recent winner at the prestigious circuit, the McLaren driver has mastered the subtleties of the Monaco Circuit. As the holder of the track record and the most recent pole position, he hopes to repeat that feat : “It’s clear we’re not at the same level as last season, but I still want to give it my best shot.” He’ll also be able to count on a car that has consistently been in contention with the leaders this season. Beyond a simple victory, the British driver is aiming to make history : he could become the first one since Nico Rosberg to secure back-to-back wins in the Principality, while consolidating McLaren’s record for wins on Monegasque ground.
The 2026 edition marks the arrival in the Principality of cars that comply with the new technical regulations. While the Monaco Circuit has historically been unfavorable for overtaking, the reduction in chassis width, combined with the introduction of “overtake” mode (a temporary electric boost), suggests there will be more action on the track. An upward tendency has already been observed in the number of overtakes since the start of the championship.
Alongside these structural changes, the FIA is introducing a major technical regulation this weekend. The exploitation of a grey area surrounding the powertrain has been modified. It remains to be seen whether this measure will shake up the hierarchy.
Finally, the unique nature of the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 prompted the FIA to rule on regulatory exceptions. Given the urban layout of this sixth round, she decided to disable the active aerodynamics. At the same time, limiting the electrical power delivered at high speeds will slow the overall pace of the cars throughout the weekend.
If you’d like to meet the drivers, the MGP Live Fanzone will host the whole F1 grid on Friday and Saturday. From the Scuderia Ferrari duo to world championship leader Kimi Antonnelli, every team will be making an appearance on the stage at Place d’Armes.

The weekend of the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 is not limited to the pinnacle of motorsport. Three support categories (Formula 2, Formula 3 and Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup) will be followed from Thursday afternoon… with plenty of excitement guaranteed !
Action on track, overtaking, and drivers looking to stand out, you should not miss the support categories of the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026. Starting this Thursday, June 4, while the grandstands will open at 11:30 am, the circuit will be taken over by free practices sessions in Formula 3 (1:25 pm), Formula 2 (3:00 pm) and Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup (4:30 pm).
First highlight of the weekend: qualifying on Friday, June 5. The day kicks off with the F3 (11:05 am) and F2 (3:10 pm) sessions. Friday will conclude with the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup qualifying session (6:45 pm). For the first two sessions, drivers will be divided into two groups a unique feature designed to accommodate the characteristics of the Monaco Circuit. Just like in Formula 1, there’s no room for error in this exercise : a thrilling show is guaranteed !
In Formula 2 and Formula 3, there will be two races each : the sprint races on Saturday and the feature races on Sunday morning. Finally, as the opening act of the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026, the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup race will take place at 11:45 am.
As the championship leader with one win and three podium finishes, Gabriele Minì (MP Motorsport) will be the driver to watch this weekend in Monaco. The Italian driver, member of the Alpine Academy, has already triumphed in Monaco, having won the F3 Main Race in 2024.
His closest rival, Rafael Câmara (Invicta Racing), is also a strong contender for victory. The Brazilian, who races for the Ferrari Driver Academy, is coming off two consecutive titles : the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine (FRECA) in 2024, and Formula 3 in 2025.
Nikola Tsolov (Campos Racing), third in the championship with two wins, is no stranger to the streets of Monaco. The Bulgarian driver, representing the Red Bull Junior Team, has secured two victories in Monaco in Formula 3 : a sprint race (2023) and a feature race (2024).
After just one race in Melbourne, the Formula 3 championship is still wide open. Ugo Ugochukwu (Campos Racing), eager for redemption after a difficult season with Prema Racing, is the man to beat. The American driver is hoping to do better than last year, where he finished in 13th place.
Currently third in the championship, Freddie Slater (Trident) is determined to make a strong impression in his first appearance in Monaco. The British driver, who races under the banner of the Audi Revolut Formula 1 Team, was crowned FRECA champion in 2025.
Théophile Naël (Campos Racing), who took pole position in Australia, is currently only twelfth in the standings. The 2025 Macau Grand Prix winner, however, had one of the fastest paces on the grid during winter testing. The Frenchman will certainly be one to watch this weekend.
The first round of the 2026 season will take place this weekend at the Monaco Grand Prix. Robert de Haan (BWT Lechner Racing), the 2025 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup runner-up and winner of last year’s race here, is the clear favorite. After winning the Carrera Cup Germany in 2025, the goal is now clear for the Dutchman and the youngest driver in the category.
The 2025 rookie champion, Flynt Schuring (Schumacher CLRT), and an impressive third overall, does not intend to play a supporting role. And finally, the young Finnish-French driver Marcus Amand (BWT Lechner Racing), the reigning Porsche Carrera Cup France champion, could be one of the weekend’s pleasant surprises. Like Flynt Schuring, he was promoted to Porsche Junior Driver ahead of the 2026 season.
If you’d like to meet the drivers, the MGP Live Fanzone will host Minì, Tsolov, Herta, and Montoya (Formula 2) on Friday from 12:30 pm to 12:40 pm. The following day, three Porsche drivers will be in the spotlight from 11:20 am to 11:30 am : Amand, Kieffer, and Schouten.
For Thursday tickets, there are two physical ticket offices:

With the Canadian Grand Prix just over, the F1 paddock is already turning its attention to the Principality for the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026, taking place from 4 to 7 June. Kimi Antonelli and Mercedes will arrive as the leaders of the World Championship.
The Monaco Circuit, a unique venue on the calendar, always guarantees spectacular racing. The intense duel between Kimi Antonelli and George Russell at Mercedes in Canada is set to continue at the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026. After a fierce battle won by Russell in the Sprint, it was his young team-mate Antonelli who came out on top following a masterful Grand Prix. A race marked by the Briton’s retirement, due to mechanical failure, which saw the Italian gain a significant advantage in the championship.
The gap between Antonelli and Russell now stands at 43 points. With his fourth consecutive victory under his belt, the Bologna-born driver will head to the streets of the Principality in superb form. Will one of the Mercedes drivers claim their first victory in Monaco? Kimi Antonelli could, in fact, become the youngest winner in the Principality: he will be 19 years, 9 months and 13 days old on Sunday 7 June.
Just one year ago, on 25 May 2025, Lando Norris (McLaren) triumphed at the Monaco Circuit. But in Canada, the papaya team had a nightmare Grand Prix, suffering from the wrong tyre strategy at the start and finishing with zero points in the championship. The team holding the record for the most wins in the Principality (16) will be looking to surprise the Silver Arrows.
Ferrari and Red Bull will also be looking to create a surprise. On home soil, Charles Leclerc (winner in 2024) will be the focus of all the fans’ attention, as will his team-mate Lewis Hamilton, who won in 2008, 2016 and 2019. From the Austrian team’s side, Max Verstappen (winner in 2021 and 2023) will, as always, be one to watch.
The weekend will kick off on Thursday 4 June with free practice sessions for the three support categories (Formula 2, Formula 3 and Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup). F1 will take centre stage from Friday onwards with its traditional format: two free practice sessions on Friday (1:30 pm and 5:00 pm), a third on Saturday at 12:30 pm, followed by qualifying at 4:00 pm. Finally, the drivers will get underway at 3:00 pm on Sunday 7 June for an intense 78-lap race.
A must-visit attraction at the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026, the MGP Live Fanzone will be open from Thursday to Sunday at the Place d’Armes, in the Condamine district, just a stone’s throw from the circuit. There will be a range of free activities on offer, including interviews with the drivers, driving simulators and live music…
And the last few tickets are available online! For Thursday, a single ticket price of €30 is available. Tickets for children under 16, who must be accompanied by an adult, are free!
It is still possible to experience the thrill of Formula 1 with tickets for Friday. Tickets are available from €175 for the remaining seats. Children under 16 benefit from a 50% discount on this day!

Behind them, McLaren seems to be closing in on the Silver Arrows. Lando Norris, winner of the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, will be keen to shine in the Principality. Oscar Piastri also dreams of securing victory in Monaco for the first time in his career, just like his manager Mark Webber (winner in 2010 and 2012).
On home soil, Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) will be keen to repeat his 2024 performance. The Monegasque driver will be one of the favourites for the fiercely contested qualifying session, his favourite exercise. Finally, we mustn’t forget Max Verstappen (Red Bull), a two-time winner at Monaco (2021 and 2023). Even though Red Bull has struggled so far in the 2026 season, the Dutchman is capable of anything.

As spring approaches, in keeping with tradition in the Principality, preparations for upcoming motorsport events are gathering pace. Three international events will set the rhythm over the coming weeks, making this the perfect opportunity for the volunteers of the Automobile Club de Monaco’s Marshals’ Corps to prepare and ensure they are fully ready for race day. Here’s a closer look.
Over the weekend of March 21 and 22, the Fontvieille Big Top hosted 600 volunteers from the Marshals’ Corps, who gathered to learn and refresh the essential skills required for their respective duties. The Training and Refresher Camp for this emblematic body of the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) has been a key event since 1972. Initiated by ACM President Michel Boeri, this program allows marshals to come together and test themselves through several practical workshops: first aid, intervention, video posts, barrier + jack handling, electrical risks, the timed “Gazelle” course, flag signalling, fire response, and more. A comprehensive program designed to assess reflexes, physical abilities, reasoning skills, and team cohesion.
This year, under the supervision of around one hundred instructors, nearly 500 volunteers were assessed, including 49 new candidates selected from over 90 applications.
« The main objective is to simulate the conditions marshals may face during a race. There is no room for error on race day. That is why this training is essential every year to ensure we are fully prepared when the time comes », explains Christophe Fabri, Head of the Training program.
During the workshops, marshals are faced with exercises requiring them to evacuate a vehicle under various scenarios, such as impact with a barrier, oil leaks, or fire outbreaks. They are supported throughout by the Monaco Fire Brigade, which once again oversaw the fire risk workshop. Firefighters trained marshals in the use of extinguishers, casualty evacuation, and safely crossing barriers. The Monaco Red Cross also conducted first aid training sessions.
Another highlight is a workshop where volunteers’ actions are closely analyzed by… artificial intelligence. This technology enables real-time assessment of gestures, decisions, and reactions during vehicle evacuation simulations. Developed by the Marshals’ Corps, this system is now in its third year and has been upgraded with new aerodynamic elements to better replicate the carbon details of Formula 1 and Formula E single-seaters.
The next milestones are already approaching: the General Meeting on April 2 at the Grimaldi Forum, equipment distribution on April 17 and 18, before seeing the marshals in action at the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique (April 24–26), the Monaco E-Prix (May 16–17), and the highly anticipated Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 (June 4–7).
As part of the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique (24–26 April), the Monaco E-Prix (16 & 17 May) and the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco (3–7 June), the Automobile Club de Monaco informs you that the “Residents’ Access Office” will open from Monday, 16 March at 2:00 PM, at Square Gastaud – Monaco.
The office will be open to residents, companies and VTC drivers on the following days and at the following times:
Registrations must be completed online in advance on the dedicated website.
You will find several sections; please log in to the one that best matches your needs.

The 2026 Formula 1 season is fast approaching. Over the past few days, teams have been unveiling their new colours. Here’s a look back at the 11 liveries for 2026, a first glimpse of what promises to be an exciting season.
The 2026 Formula 1 season, synonymous with a new era in the history of the sport, kicked off with the usual round of livery presentations. With the unveiling of Cadillac, McLaren and Aston Martin on Monday 9 February, the 2026 grid is now complete!
The 2026 liveries were eagerly awaited, not least because they offered a first glimpse of the new generation of cars, which are shorter and narrower than their predecessors. This season also marks the entry of two new teams: Audi, replacing Sauber, and Cadillac, which becomes the eleventh team to join the grid.
The two newcomers to the grid, Audi and Cadillac, naturally attracted a lot of attention. The Audi R26 is mainly decorated in silver grey, as well as red and black, the German manufacturer’s historic colours. As for Cadillac, the American firm unveiled the first F1 car in its history, and it is certainly unique! Its asymmetrical livery, with one side white and the other black, makes it one of a kind.
Other American team, Haas, with Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman, sports more white, as a result of Toyota Gazoo Racing becoming the title partner of the team led by Ayao Komatsu.
At Red Bull Racing, the Austrian team has returned to a metallic blue reminiscent of its early-2010s cars, a nod to its new beginnings with engine partner Ford. The number 1 leaves Max Verstappen’s car and is now displayed on that of newly crowned world champion Lando Norris. The Dutchman has chosen the number 3.
Then, as every year, the Mercedes and Ferrari cars are always eagerly awaited. Mercedes has largely kept its colours, while the Ferrari SF-26 driven by Lewis Hamilton and Monegasque Charles Leclerc features more white and a lighter red than its predecessors.
Even though the single-seaters have changed, some liveries have remained virtually the same. Racing Bulls has kept its white base, with a little more carbon than the 2025 livery. As for Williams, it has lightened up with white and sky blue sidepods.
Finally, Alpine, Aston Martin and McLaren‘s 2026 liveries are almost identical to last season’s. The only change for the reigning world champions is that Lando Norris now wears the number 1 on his McLaren MCL40.
Ready for the grid! 😍
Every 2026 car has been released with pre-season testing getting under way this week! 👊#F1 pic.twitter.com/lvMK3e4oMC

Then, a week later, the final test session will take place from Wednesday 18 to Friday 20 February, again at the Sakhir circuit in Bahrain. Before the big start of the 2026 season at the Australian Grand Prix on the weekend of 6 to 8 March.
You can see all these new liveries on the track at the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco from 4 to 7 June 2026. Book your tickets now, there are still tickets available!
