2025 Monaco Grand Prix

Championship standings

Piastri leads the Drivers’ Championship with 146 points, thirteen ahead of Norris and twenty-two ahead of Verstappen in third.

Previous race

Verstappen won at Imola, overaking Piastri into the first corner on lap 1 and leading from there. Norris finished second, Piastri third, in Red Bull’s 400th Formula One start. This was the final Emilia Romagna Grand Prix — the circuit is not contracted beyond this season. Colapinto qualified 15th on his Alpine debut but received a grid penalty for a pit lane infringement in Q1; in the race he was pushed onto the grass by Tsunoda and received a penalty in turn.

Mandatory pit stops

For the first time, Monaco imposes a mandatory two-stop strategy in both wet and dry conditions. Teams must use at least three sets of tyres in the race, with a minimum of two different compounds if the race is dry.

Tyre choices

Pirelli brings the three softest compounds — C4, C5 and C6 — designated hard, medium and soft.

Practice

Leclerc topped all three free practice sessions. FP1 saw a red flag when Leclerc made contact with Stroll at turn 6; FP2 was interrupted twice — once for Hadjar and once for Piastri crashing. In FP3, Hamilton crashed at turn 4 in the closing stages, ripping the front-right tyre off his Ferrari and triggering a late red flag. Verstappen and Norris completed the top three in all three sessions.
