A legendary race at the heart of Monaco!

The Monaco Grand Prix is an iconic motorsport event of the Formula 1 World Championship, held each year on the streets of Monte Carlo since 1929. Widely regarded as one of the most prestigious races in the world, alongside the Indianapolis 500, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Rallye Monte-Carlo in motorsport legend, for the first time in 2025, the race adopted a title sponsor, becoming the “Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco.” This milestone results from a partnership between Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer and luxury group LVMH, further strengthening their presence in the world of Formula 1. Already the Official Timekeeper of Formula 1 and a partner of the Automobile Club de Monaco since 2011, TAG Heuer deepens its commitment to motorsport. This collaboration marks a new era for the Monaco Grand Prix — one that combines heritage with innovation. Since its inception in 1929, drivers and teams have relished the challenge of racing on the narrow, undulating streets of the Principality of Monaco, with its sharp corners, elevation changes, and iconic tunnel. It remains one of the most demanding circuits on the Formula 1 calendar — and one that every team and driver dreams of winning.

F3: Tsolov and Tramnitz ahead of Wurz!

The one and only free practice session for Formula 3, early Thursday afternoon, got the 82^nd edition of the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco off to a good start, with a fierce battle right up to the end of the scheduled 45 minutes, and only one major interruption to the session (5 minutes) by a red flag, when Dane Noah Stromsted (Trident) hit the safety rail at Sainte-Dévote.

Far from dampening the spirits of the young F3 drivers, this run-off by the 2nd-placed driver in the championship after just six rounds spurred them on to give it their all in the final minutes of the session, which was run in the sunshine and in front of well-stocked grandstands, with a last-minute 30-euro grandstand prize for latecomers on Thursday morning.

When Stromsted crashed out, the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) marshals, as efficient as ever, evacuated his car in record time, and Bulgarian Nikola Tsolov Campos), on his final lap, stole the show from Germany’s Tim Tramnitz, currently 3rd in the championship. He set a best lap of 1:25.622 in his small but fast single-seater with a Red Bull livery.

The third driver in the session had a famous name: Charlie Wurz (Trident). He is none other than the son of Alex Wurz, the former Benetton and Williams F1 driver (69 GPs contested, 3 podiums between 1997 and 2007). Before and after F1, Alex won the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in 1996 and 2009. He keeps a close eye on his son’s progress and, like many F1 drivers past and present, lives in Monaco.

Camara 4^th

Much-anticipated Brazilian Rafael Camara (Trident) has already won twice this season, the Sunday morning feature races in Melbourne and Sakhir (Bahrain). He took 4^th place in this inaugural session, very close to the top three, and took care to learn this track well, which he was discovering in an F3, like many other young drivers entered this year.

There are 30 young drivers registered for this 2025 edition, just twenty years after Lewis Hamilton’s victory in 2005. The two Frenchmen, Théophile Naël (Van Amersfoort) and Alessandro Giusti (MP Motorsport), were far from ridiculous. Naël, 17, finished in the Top 10 of this highly competitive session, and Giusti, 18, took 13^th place. This augurs well for Friday’s qualifying session, which will take place in two groups of 15 drivers between 11am and midday.
