Previous race
Pérez won Monaco after a strategy error from Ferrari dropped Leclerc from pole position to fourth. The race start was aborted — two formation laps had been run sixteen minutes after the scheduled start time — before restarting fifty minutes late. Mick Schumacher’s car split in two at the swimming pool section, ending the race under red flag conditions that were restarted. Sainz finished second, Verstappen third.
Tyre choices
Pirelli brings the C3, C4, and C5 compounds (hard, medium, soft).
Practice
FP3 was delayed fifteen minutes to allow for barrier repairs following a crash in the Formula 2 support race earlier in the afternoon.
