McLaren team boss Andrea Stella believes Lando Norris has made an important step gelling with his car after taking pole for Formula 1's Monaco Grand Prix.
On the technical street circuit Norris beat Ferrari's Charles Leclerc to pole by one tenth, with team-mate Oscar Piastri 0.175s behind. It was the Briton's second pole of the 2025 season and his first since he won the season-opening ...Keep reading

Pirelli motorsport chief Mario Isola is concerned a long safety car period during the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix could lead to issues in the pitlane, suggesting it will take a "genius" rather than a strategist to work out how best to attack the race, now that using at least three tyres sets is mandatory.
F1 will enter the unknown when the lights go out on Sunday afternoon, with the decision to ...Keep reading

Adrian Newey has leapt to the defence of under-fire Aston Martin racer Lance Stroll, claiming the Canadian has a “bad rap” outside of the team.

“This has nothing to do with racing,” concluded Max Verstappen after last year’s Monaco Grand Prix. It fits a pattern: Saturdays are spectacular in the principality, but Sundays tend to offer limited to almost no action. This is obviously due to overtaking with today’s large F1 cars being virtually impossible around the streets of Monte Carlo.
In the 2024 race, an early red flag ...Keep reading

Deep breath on the way out of the Rascasse; you won't have another for the next 70 seconds.
The spectacle of qualifying at Monaco is underrated.

Add a legitimate battle for pole ...Keep reading

Lewis Hamilton has addressed his incident with Max Verstappen during Formula 1 qualifying at Monaco Grand Prix, which led to a three-place grid drop for Sunday’s race.
The Ferrari driver explained that he was mistakenly told by his team that Verstappen was slowing down, which prompted him to move back to the middle of the track and duly impeded the Red Bull driver.
