Upcoming Events
The Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco 2025 weekend really gets underway on Thursday afternoon with three 45-minute free practice sessions for the support races: FIA Formula 3 at 1:10pm, Formula 2 at 3pm and Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup at 4:30pm, to round off a first day with still a few grandstand seats available, for 30 euros only.
F2: Dunne and Browning lead the way
Alexander Dunne (Rodin Motorsport) and Luke Browning (HiTech) lead the Formula 2 field arriving in Monaco, having taken the first two spots in the feature race at Imola last Sunday, and the big points that went with them. The provisional podium is completed by 24-year-old “veteran” Richard Verschoor (MP Motorsport), who also won a feature race, in Jeddah. Dunne is the only one to have already won twice, in seven races, since the feature race on Sunday morning in Australia was cancelled due to bad weather. And there have been six different winners, including Joshua Dürksen (Aix Racing) and Josep Maria Marti (Campos Racing), who arrived from F3 and is closely followed by Red Bull, same as 17-year-old Arvid Lindblad (Campos).
So there are plenty of title contenders in a rejuvenated field, as six F2 drivers from last year have been promoted to F1 as fully-fledged regulars. These include the top two finishers in the 2024 championship, Brazil’s Gabriel Bortoleto (Sauber) and France’s Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls), as well as 18-year-old Italian prodigy Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes), who has only spent one full season in F2 (2 wins, 6th in the championship). Frenchmen Victor Martins (ART GP) and Sami Meguetounif (Trident), already seen here last year in F3, will be able to gauge their ambitions during free practice this Thursday.
F3: rookie Camara already in front
Just 20 years after Lewis Hamilton’s victory in 2005, a new motorsport hopeful may be burning up the track. Brazilian rookie Rafael Camara (Trident) won two feature races, the Sunday morning ones in Melbourne and Sakhir, and took points in the other one, but no point in the sprint races. He managed to open up a 21-point gap over Denmark’s Noah Stormsted (Trident), closely followed in the standings by Germany’s Tim Tranmitz. Camara, 20 at the beginning of May, seems the most serious candidate for the title in his first F3 season. He has a wealth of experience in single-seaters, after brilliant results in karting, and has contested an astronomical number of races over the last three years: 48 in Formula 4 in 2022 (Germany, Italy, Emirates), with team-mate Kimi Antonelli, and 70 races in Formula Regional Europe and the Middle East over the last two seasons. A frequent winner (20 successes) and consistently placed (52 podiums), he has the ideal profile to dominate F3, in Monaco too…
Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup: time for the youngsters!
The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup is a highly spectacular category, the one and only top-of-the-range single-brand series to be run as a curtain-raiser to eight European Formula 1 Grands Prix. The soap opera will continue until Monza at the beginning of September, with new headliners as three-time champion Larry ten Voorde retired at the end of 2024. To ensure his succession, Lechner Racing is counting on compatriot Robert de Haan, best rookie of 2024, and Frenchman Marvin Klein. As for the French Schumacher CLRT team, 2024 champions with ten Voorde, they are still counting on Alessandro Ghiretti, now their top driver. And three cars are entered by another French team, Team Martinet by Alméras, including that of Mathys Jaubert. Engines.
The paddocks for the Support Races are easy to access and you can meet drivers easily there. You just need to walk…
Paddock Formula 2: Parking du Chemin des Pêcheurs, at the end of the Rock, just under the Old Town
(accessible in 10 minutes maximum, walking from the MGP Fan Zone)
Paddock Formula 3: Parking of the Monte-Carlo Country Club (tennis club, East of the Principality, a 20 to 30 minutes walk from the MGP Fan Zone)
Paddock of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup: Chapiteau de l’Espace Fontvieille (the same as for the Festival du Cirque de Monte-Carlo)
A few places left!
There are still seats available in the grandstands for Thursday, at the one and only price of 30 euros. You will be able to find them at the usual sales points near the track, at Direction du Tourisme & Rue Notari.
In one year, everything has changed. McLaren, the Constructors’ World Champion at the end of 2024, has become the team to beat, having won five of the first seven Grands Prix in 2025, four of them thanks to the sheer talent of championship leader Oscar Piastri. And Max Verstappen, the four-time reigning Drivers’ World Champion, is no more than an outsider… at a very high level, since he managed to win twice, in Japan and at Imola, in his Red Bull. The third winner at the start of the season was Lando Norris, in the other McLaren. All the others had to make do with crumbs…
As we come to the end of the Cannes Film Festival, a word about the supporting acts, this year Mercedes and Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton’s old and new team. At the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco, their drivers will be doing everything in their power to upset the odds. And they can, on a circuit like no other, at a very special Grand Prix already won by just four of the 20 drivers on the 2025 grid: Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, the three World Champions, and of course Charles Leclerc, the local hero who finally won “his” Grand Prix last year, on his sixth attempt.
Beyond the expected duel between McLaren and Verstappen, the public at this 82nd edition will want to experience some surprises, and most spectators are hoping to see at least one Ferrari driver on the princely podium, like Charles last year on the highest step. Even if the start of the season hasn’t lived up to the huge buzz created by Sir Lewis’s arrival at Maranello, there are a few reasons for hope, both for the Italian tifosi and for the Principality’s fans. After all, Leclerc finished on the podium in Jeddah, and Hamilton has just finished at the foot of the podium in Imola, on Italian soil, after a “remontada” worthy of his best years as a young McLaren driver, from 12th to 4th place, last Sunday. He also won the Chinese Sprint Race in Shanghai on Saturday.
Three Frenchmen ready to pounce!
When it comes to predictions and possible bets for pole position and victory on Sunday, don’t forget the Mercedes drivers. Italian prodigy Kimi Antonelli, 18 years old, still seems a little young to win on the streets of the Principality, but who knows? And the late Ayrton Senna, a little older at the time, left his mark on the 1984 edition, on his Monaco F1 debut (2nd behind Alain Prost in a rain-shortened race). As for George Russell, the new leader of the German team, he has shown a fine consistency since the season opener in Australia: four podiums in all, which puts him ahead of the two Ferrari drivers in the championship standings.
There’s no real favourite for this Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco, in fact, because this 2025 season is one of tightening performances, with minimal gaps in qualifying between single-seaters that are nearing the end of their development. Because next year, in 2026, new technical regulations will come into force for chassis and hybrid engines. As a direct consequence of this situation, we can even imagine a totally surprising result, like in 1996, just 30 years ago, when Olivier Panis won in a Ligier. Three French drivers are ready, in the event of extreme circumstances and multiple race incidents, to create a huge surprise: Pierre Gasly (Alpine), Esteban Ocon (Haas) and even the new kid on the block, Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls), who amazes with every outing and continues to accumulate experience.
Two compulsory stops…
To muddy the waters, in addition to the highly uncertain weather in this stormy month of May, there’s also something new this year in the Principality: a minimum of two compulsory pit stops for all competitors, whereas in recent years some have tried a one-stop strategy. It remains to be seen whether, in addition to spicing up the race, this constraint will be more favourable to the top or the mid-table teams. As the English say, “wait and see”.
A few places left!
There are still seats available in the grandstands for Friday (F1 free practice, F2, F3 and Porsche Supercup qualifying). To find out more, visit www.monaco-grandprix.com as soon as possible, or visit the following ticketing outlets:
On the occasion of the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco 2025, the Automobile Club de Monaco is proud to announce the arrival of its official mascot. Named Vrooom, this cheetah in the colors of the Principality joins the ACM universe and its events to strengthen the bond with spectators and bring a friendly, engaging touch.
Designed as a strong symbol, Vrooom embodies speed, precision, and the overall spirit of motorsport. The choice of the cheetah – the fastest animal on Earth – naturally reflects the agility and performance values upheld by the ACM. Its outfit, inspired by the track marshals’ uniforms, pays tribute to the Club’s identity and to those who work tirelessly behind the scenes. With this mascot, the ACM aims to enhance its connection with the public and enrich the fan experience, especially during its most iconic event: the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco 2025.
At the Heart of the Action
Throughout the weekend, Vrooom will be visible in the liveliest areas of the Monaco Circuit. Fans can meet the mascot at the MGP Live Fan Zone on Place d’Armes — on stage or roaming through the crowd for photo opportunities. Vrooom will also make appearances in the grandstands and near the stars of the top-tier motorsport discipline. This first appearance, right at the heart of the event, will be one to remember.
A symbol that will last
Vrooom isn’t just a fun nod to the 2025 edition. The ACM’s mascot marks the start of a new chapter: approachable, identifiable and full of energy, it will be a fixture at all the Club’s future events… and he’s already making his way into people’s homes with the miniature cuddly toy available for sale from the ACM Official Store.
𝙇𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣,
We are honoured to present the official mascot of the Automobile Club de Monaco: 𝗩𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗺 🤩🇲🇨

On Wednesday 26 February, the FIA World Council announced an unprecedented measure for the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship season. With the aim of diversifying race strategies, two pit stops will be compulsory for each driver at the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco 2025.
“Following recent discussions in the F1 Commission, a specific requirement for the Monaco GP has been approved mandating the use of at least three sets of tyres in the Race, with a minimum of two different tyre compounds to be used if it’s a dry race.” FIA
“This decision, which has long been welcomed, applies exclusively to the one and only Monaco race. The initial recommendation of the F1 Commission (made up of representatives of the teams, the FIA and Formula One), ratified last week in London and validated this Wednesday in Geneva by the World Motor Sport Council, is in line with the desire of Formula One, the FIA and the Automobile Club de Monaco to prioritise spectacle, for the players, spectators and television viewers alike. The verdict will be in on 25 May when the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco 2025 takes place… “ Automobile Club de Monaco

For the first time in its history, which started in 1929, the Grand Prix de Monaco will have a title partner: the TAG Heuer watchmaking group, Official Timekeeper of the Formula 1 World Championship. To celebrate this announcement, the Automobile Club de Monaco presents the official poster for the 82nd edition of its leading event.
As the Formula 1 World Championship celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, TAG Heuer further strengthens the incredible link between the automobile and one of the most famous races on the calendar. With a shared history that has been woven over the decades, Monaco and TAG Heuer are linked, not only by the world of motorsport, but also by the history of the company.

Monaco, a second home for the TAG Heuer
While the traditional watches of TAG Heuer are made in Switzerland, the company has become a cultural force taking on a global identity. With boutiques located around the world, ambassadors and advertising campaigns that can be seen in every city, and the presence in different sports across continents, there is only one place that the brand has a special connection to the Principality of Monaco.
Legendary stories of the sport have been written on the Monegasque track: from the exploits of drivers such as Jochen Rindt, Jo Siffert, Niki Lauda and Ronnie Peterson in the 60s and 70s, who became style icons and wore Heuer chronographs on the track, to the incredible rivalries and victories of Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna in the 80s, who dominated in Monaco at the wheel of TAG Heuer-sponsored McLarens. In the late 90s and 2000s, Mika Häkkinen, David Coulthard, Kimi Räikkönen and Lewis Hamilton enjoyed success on the streets of the Principality, all with TAG Heuer watches on their wrist as they stood atop the podium. In recent years, Daniel Ricciardo, Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez in a Red Bull Racing car have also won with a TAG Heuer on their wrist.
Elevating a partnership
TAG Heuer has been a partner of the Automobile Club de Monaco since 2011, present at key moments through the Formula 1 weekend and at the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique. This marks the opening of a new chapter in this long history, in which TAG Heuer’s presence will be reinforced on all race-related media, including with significant trackside placement, visible on site in the streets of Monaco and on screens around the world. Another key element will be the iconic TAG Heuer Monaco clock which will be on display in the paddock. A special logo has been created to celebrate this key moment in motorsport history and is featured on the Official Poster for this 82nd edition.
Formula 1 will continue to race around the streets of Monaco until 2031, inclusive, following a six-year extension to the existing agreement between the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) and the Formula One Group, that runs through the 2025 season.
Created in 1929, the Monaco Grand Prix featured on the first Formula 1 World Championship calendar in 1950 and is renowned as one of the most famous sporting events in the world and one of the ultimate tests of concentration and skill for Formula 1 drivers.
Monaco will stage the eight round of the 24-race 2025 season, from Thursday 22 to Sunday 25 of May.
“I’m delighted that Formula 1 will continue to race in Monaco until 2031. The streets of Monte Carlo are unique and a famous part of Formula 1, and the Monaco Grand Prix remains a race that all drivers dream of winning. I would like to extend a special thanks to H.S.H. Albert Prince II of Monaco, Michel Boeri, President of the Automobile Club de Monaco and everyone involved in the extension of this important partnership.” – Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1.
“I would particularly like to thank especially H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, Stefano Domenicali, and everyone involved in the extension of this contract. The signing of this new agreement with the Formula One Group until 2031 not only confirms the strength of our relationship, but reaffirms our commitment to offering all visitors an unrivalled, first-class experience at race weekends.” – Michel Boeri, President of the Automobile Club de Monaco.

In the end, it was an 81st Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco with no surprise, apart from the first lap, and no suspense until the 78th lap, everything having been settled in advance. It all came down to tea time on Saturday, when qualifying was of a very high standard. And 24 hours later, Charles Leclerc was able to climb onto the top of the princely podium that he had dreamed of since he was a child. He will forever be the first Monegasque to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco, and he deserves it.
On the podium, with the princely family surrounding him, Charles the Victorious was accompanied by his new best friend, Oscar Piastri (McLaren), and his future ex-teammate at Ferrari, Carlos Sainz. Everyone was very moved, as was Frédéric Vasseur, the main architect of the Scuderia’s revival which nobody can doubt any more. Throughout the weekend, there was not a single mistake from the men in red, who had ruined, in the pits, Leclerc’s two previous pole positions in the Principality.
Charles Leclerc: “I never believed in a curse [in Monaco]”.
Even the crazy first lap of this 81st Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco didn’t faze or destabilise them, and they calmly put Sainz’s Ferrari back in shape at the end of the first lap, when a red flag brutally interrupted proceedings for three quarters of an hour. This was due to a collision with potentially dramatic consequences between the Red Bull of ‘Checo’ Pérez and the two Haas cars of Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hülkenberg, who had started from the back of the grid.
Sainz had a tyre punctured by a rival at the start, so he missed braking entering the Casino section. A few seconds later, on the descent to the Fairmont, Esteban Ocon flew off the front wheel of his Alpine team-mate Pierre Gasly. That was a lot of incidents for a first lap, there were carbon debris everywhere, so the race direction wisely decided to stop everything, giving time for everyone to recover.
A new start
When the race restarted for 16 of the 20 drivers at 3.45pm, some were on hard tyres (the first four) and others on medium tyres (in the chasing pack), nobody knowing which was the best solution. And then nothing happened, because Leclerc set the pace, very slowly, that was needed to preserve the tyres right to the end. And nobody behind the Ferrari, not even the McLaren drivers, tried to reverse the course of this inexorable victory, awaited by all the people of Monaco.
It was a logical and well-deserved victory, meticulously prepared by the entire Scuderia team, and there could be many more to come. It is only Charles Leclerc’s 6th win in F1, two years after his previous one (Austria 2022), but it brings the Monegasque back to 31 points of Max Verstappen. The three-time reigning world champion took 6th place in this uneventful race… after a first lap worthy of “Fast and Furious”. The race ended with the top ten on the grid in the top ten places overall.
There are still 16 Grands Prix to be contested in 2024 and anything is possible, including a duel between Verstappen and Leclerc for the world title. We cannot wait for the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal in mid-June!
Dutchman Larry ten Voorde (Schumacher CLRT), who started from pole position, became the only three-time winner of the Porsche Supercup in Monaco at midday on Sunday, without ever being troubled by his great rival Harry King. A talented young South African, Keagan Masters, was also on the podium, behind the untouchables.
It was another great race, the third in a row after the F3 and F2 races, to round off this morning’s curtain-raiser to the 81st Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco in style. There were some great battles, with Marvin Klein (Schumacher CLRT) managing to briefly occupy 4th place, but he had to concede defeat in the end to another Dutchman, Kas Haverkort (Uniserver by Team GP Elite).
The history of the Porsche Supercup will remember that King, winner last year in the Principality, finished 1.2 second behind ten Voorde, recruited this winter by the Schumacher CLRT team originally founded by French driver Côme Ledogar. Alessandro Ghiretti (8th), the third driver in the Schumacher CLRT combo, rounded off the demonstration of French teams and drivers combined, as well as Victor Bernier, the rookie from the Martinet by Alméras team (10th).
In the Porsche Supercup, created over 30 years ago and run as a curtain-raiser to 8 F1 Grands Prix a year, mainly in Europe, ten Voorde, twice champion of the discipline (2020, 2021), is now the only driver to have triumphed three times in the Principality. That’s one more victory than his compatriot Michael Bleekemolen (2007, 2008) and Monegasque Stéphane Ortelli (2000, 2001).
