Formula 1 shifts gears quickly from the twists of Imola to the glitz and glamour of Monte Carlo, as the sport heads into the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend, the second stop in a demanding triple-header.
Twisting through the glamorous harbor streets of Monte Carlo, the Monaco Grand Prix continues to stand as one of the most unforgiving and technical tests in Formula 1.
With its tight corners, razor-thin racing lines, and perilous overtaking sections, the circuit remains a true driver’s gauntlet.
Just days ago at Imola’s iconic Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, Max Verstappen clawed back valuable ground in the championship race. The Red Bull driver delivered a textbook performance to claim victory, holding off a late charge from McLaren’s Lando Norris.
Despite settling for third place, Oscar Piastri retained his lead in the standings, maintaining a 13-point cushion over Norris as the title fight begins to intensify.
