Upcoming Events
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.

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!

The 2026 Monaco E-Prix concluded this weekend with victories for Nyck de Vries (Mahindra Racing) and Oliver Rowland (Nissan Formula E Team). These two exciting races brought another significant chapter in the history of electric racing in Monaco to a close.
With thrilling action on the track with 382 overtakes across two races, packed grandstands, numerous VIPs and a number of talks and activities during Monaco E-Prix week once again transformed the Principality into a mecca for electric motorsport.
As ever, the Monaco Circuit attracted a host of VIPs. TT.SS.HH. Prince Albert II and Princesse Charlène were present on Sunday on the grid and on the podium at the 11th Monaco E-Prix.
Many sports stars were also in attendance at this electrifying weekend. First and foremost were figures from the Formula 1 paddock: reigning world champion Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz, Nico Hülkenberg, Gabriel Bortoleto, Oliver Bearman, Christian Horner and Flavio Briatore. Valentin Vacherot, currently ranked 18th in the world in tennis, and Alpha Diallo, a basketball player for AS Monaco, were among those who came to watch the event.

As well as the stars, the 40 000 spectators who packed the grandstands over the two days were treated to some thrilling races. The first was won, following a tactical battle, by Nyck de Vries (Mahindra Racing), ahead of Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) and Josep Maria Martí (Cupra Kiro). And the second, dominated by reigning world champion Oliver Rowland (Nissan Formula E Team), ahead of Felipe Drugovich (Andretti Formula E) and António Félix da Costa (Jaguar TCS Racing).
Six different drivers from five teams on the two podiums: the 10th and 11th editions proved once again that Formula E remains stunning and unpredictable right up to the very end. A motorsport weekend just the way we like it: excitement, tension, spectacle, pushing the limits… The Monaco E-Prix always inspires passion, and the public turned out in force throughout the two days of competition.
One of the highlights of the weekend was the first public appearance of the GEN4, the single-seater set to make its Formula E debut next season. Driven around the Monaco Circuit by David Coulthard, the former F1 driver was thoroughly impressed by the experience.
“I’m speechless! What a machine!” said the two-time winner of the Monaco Grand Prix in Formula 1 after his first few laps. “The drivers are going to experience something that no one has ever experienced in motorsport before. It redefines what a racing car can be.”
Thank you to the teams involved and the 570 marshals who worked on this 2026 Monaco E-Prix and who, once again, demonstrated great professionalism.
The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship continues with seven rounds remaining in the 2025/2026 season. Next up: the Sanya E-Prix in China on 19 and 20 June.
In the Principality, the circuit racing season is far from over. See you in three weeks’ time for the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026!
The 2025 World Champion claimed victory in the crazy 11th Monaco E-Prix this Sunday. The British driver finished ahead of Felipe Drugovich (Andretti Formula E Team) and António Félix da Costa (Jaguar TCS Racing), in front of the thousands of spectators who once again turned out in large numbers this Sunday.
After a race full of twists and turns, Oliver Rowland (Nissan Formula E Team) won a spectacular Monaco E-Prix this Sunday, May 17!

Although Dan Ticktum (Cupra Kiro) started from pole position, like this Saturday, the race proved that beginning at the front was no guarantee of success. Chaos erupted on the opening lap following contact at the Nouvelle Chicane between Edoardo Mortara (Mahindra Racing), running third at the time, and António Félix da Costa (Jaguar TCS Racing), who was second. Mortara received a 10-second penalty for the incident, while da Costa dropped back to 15th position.
As the laps went by, several drivers took turns at the front: Nico Müller (Porsche Formula E Team), who produced a superb opening stint by climbing from 11th on the grid to the virtual lead, Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing), Edoardo Mortara (Mahindra Racing), and even António Félix da Costa, who led on lap 19 after an impressive comeback from his early-race incident.
This intense battle at the front kept the field tightly packed throughout the 28 laps. Overtakes came one after another, battles raged across the circuit, and the tension kept rising as the chequered flag approached.
After an intense fight, Oliver Rowland moved into the lead on lap 23 with a superb overtake on Edoardo Mortara at the exit of the tunnel. The Nissan driver then managed the gaps to his rivals to secure a second victory in the Principality. He also claimed a fourth Formula E podium in Monaco, his third in two years.

“It was not the race I expected to be honest,” admitted Oliver Rowland after the finish. “I had to be disciplined in terms of the energy there was a lot of people attacking from very early on…actually a bit safer to be where I was,” analysed the reigning world champion.
For now, however, the title fight is not at the forefront of Rowland’s mind. “I just need a little bit more pace if I’m honest and qualifying just missing a little bit of feeling and a bit of confidence.” And yet, thanks to his first victory of the season, the Nissan driver climbs to second in the championship standings, 19 points behind Mitch Evans.
Watch the reactions from the main protagonists of the race in the video below.
Nyck de Vries (Mahindra Racing) won the 10th Monaco E-Prix this Saturday. The Dutch driver finished ahead of Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) and Josep Maria Martí (Cupra Kiro).
Starting from second on the grid, Nyck de Vries (Mahindra Racing) claimed his first victory in the Principality during the 10th Monaco E-Prix, as well as the fifth Formula E win of his career. The Dutch driver finished ahead of Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) and Josep Maria Martí (Cupra Kiro) who benefited from a penalty handed to his teammate Dan Ticktum. With this result, Mitch Evans takes the lead in the world championship standings.
Thousands of spectators and numerous personalities on the starting grid witnessed this thrilling race. Among them were Carlos Sainz Jr., Nico Hülkenberg, Gabriel Bortoleto, Christian Horner and Flavio Briatore, representing the Formula 1 paddock. French driver Doriane Pin, recently announced as a development driver for Citroën Racing, was also in attendance.
Dan Ticktum (Cupra Kiro), the surprise pole-sitter after defeating Nyck de Vries in their qualifying duel on Saturday morning, controlled the opening phase of the race. After making a strong start, he controlled the pace from the front. The early stages of the race were marked by a brief Safety Car intervention following an incident between Nick Cassidy (Citroën Racing) and Jake Dennis (Andretti Formula E) at the Nouvelle Chicane.
As the strategic battle unfolded, the pole-sitter and race leader ultimately lost out. On lap 19, he completed his Pit Boost but rejoined in fourth place behind Nyck de Vries, Mitch Evans and António Félix da Costa. Nyck de Vries then moved into the lead after making his stop four laps earlier.
The Mahindra Racing driver stayed ahead of the two Jaguar TCS Racing cars, which are unable to challenge the leader. Behind them, Dan Ticktum closes in on the leading trio and overtakes António Félix da Costa on lap 25. But two laps later, the Jaguar driver attempts to retake third position and makes contact with Ticktum at the Nouvelle Chicane. The Portuguese driver is forced to retire, prompting the deployment of a Full Course Yellow.
Nyck de Vries ultimately cruised to a strategic victory thanks to strong Pit Boost management. “If the opportunity arises, we are comfortable to lead,” his engineer told him on lap 12, a prediction that ultimately came true for Mahindra, which secured its first victory in the Principality !
“We love to add some wins to our name and to do it together, to give the team the reward they really deserve for all their hard work and also just giving me an incredible car today,” said the race winner. “We’ve come from far and improved a lot and I think we showed strong performance for a long time.”

In the championship standings, Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) takes advantage of Pascal Wehrlein’s (Porsche Formula E Team) disappointing result, only 18th, to move into the lead with 116 points.
See you again this Sunday for another dose of racing at the 11th edition of the Monaco E-Prix !
From the press conference room and the media zone, the Formula E drivers shared their thoughts ahead of the 2026 Monaco E-Prix. Here is an overview of their impressions before the first laps get underway this Saturday from 7:30 a.m. onwards.
“It’s a privilege for all of us to race here”. The words of Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing), winner of the most recent E-Prix in Berlin and currently second in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, sum up the general feeling among the drivers. Winner of the Monaco E-Prix in 2024, the New Zealand driver hopes to bounce back after what he described as a “horrible” weekend last year.
Just three points behind Pascal Wehrlein (Porsche Formula E Team) in the championship standings, Mitch Evans is not counting on any weakness from the German outfit. “I mean they’re arguably one of the best teams so it’s not the best so it’s only a matter of time before Porsche stands on the podium here.”
Edoardo Mortara (Mahindra Racing) rounds off the top three in the championship standings and arrives in the Principality brimming with confidence, describing Monaco as “the most important event of the season”. At ease in qualifying, with three pole positions to his name this season, he nevertheless insists that a weekend in Monaco is never predictable. “It’s always difficult to know if we’ll be competitive, it’s a truly unpredictable circuit.”
Sébastien Buemi (Envision Racing), currently 9th in the championship standings, does not want to get ahead of himself. “I’m trying to stay realistic. We’ve shown that we can be competitive in races, but here it’s never easy. We’ll build the weekend session by session,” said the driver who holds the record for the most E-Prix victories in Monaco, with three wins (2015, 2017 and 2025).
The French drivers Jean-Éric Vergne (Citroën Racing) and Norman Nato (Nissan Formula E Team), who were present at the press conference, expressed their excitement ahead of this special weekend. “Monaco is always a special place. I love the track and then you are on top of it the historic elements of that city,” said the Citroën driver, who is 15th in the championship.
For Norman Nato it feels like a home E-Prix. “I’m from the south of France, so this race is special for me. My family will obviously be here, it’s a pleasure and a great opportunity to race here on two consecutive days.”
Two consecutive race days, a unique format that also appeals to Maximilian Günther (DS Penske). “The two races actually you have to approach them a little bit different and this is what It’s all about here, adapting and racing”
See you this Saturday at 7:30 a.m. for the first free practice session. Qualifying will begin from 10:40 a.m., before the start of the 10th Monaco E-Prix at 3:05 p.m.

Alongside the 10th and 11th Monaco E-Prix events, the Principality is hosting a range of community engagement activities, social impact initiatives, and technology showcases. Twelve years after its launch, Formula E continues to evolve, as demonstrated by the performance of the GEN3 Evo single-seaters, which are racing this weekend on the Circuit de Monaco.
Formula E cars have come a long way in twelve years! During the first season (2014–2015), only one model was homologated: the Spark-Renault SRT 01-E. Featuring a maximum power output of 200 kW, the GEN1 (2014–2018) quickly evolved over the course of its seasons. Drivers had to switch cars mid-race and adapt to new types of technology.
More powerful, the GEN2 (2018–2022) had an energy storage capacity twice that of its predecessor and was capable of completing a full race distance. With a power output of 250 kW, it reached a top speed of 280 km/h. The halo, a safety device mandated by the FIA, was introduced on the GEN2.
The GEN3 (2022–2024) continued this development trend, with a maximum power output of 350 kW and a top speed of around 320 km/h. Lighter than the GEN2, it was also twice as efficient in energy recovery, with approximately 50% regenerative braking capability.

The current generation single-seater, the GEN3 Evo, delivers 0–100 km/h acceleration comparable to that of a Formula 1 car, in just 1.8 seconds. These innovations have been made possible by the introduction of all-wheel drive, a first for Formula E. It is permitted during qualifying, race starts, and whenever Attack Mode is deployed, twice during the race. Beyond its significant performance capabilities, the GEN3 Evo also stands out for its even more refined visual and aerodynamic design, featuring a slimmer front wing.
Next season, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will welcome the fastest single-seater in the history of the series: the GEN4. With a maximum power output of 600 kW in qualifying and Attack Mode, and 450 kW during the race, it is also the only single-seater with four-wheel drive. It will also be seen on track this Sunday, May 17 at 9:25 a.m., driven by David Coulthard. A moment not to be missed!
The Monaco E-Prix is not limited to the track. The ACM invites the local ecosystem to experience the event from the inside: students, associations, young women aged 12 to 18… all get to discover the paddock behind the scenes and the different careers within motorsport.
This Wednesday, Lucas di Grassi (Lola Yamaha ABT Formula E Team driver), James Rossiter (former Formula E team principal and GEN4 test driver), and Nerea Martí (Andretti Formula E team ambassador) visited schools in Monaco. It was an opportunity to exchange with children about the discipline and its technological progress.
Two Formula E conferences were also held on Wednesday.
