Will it be the birthplace hero Charles Leclerc or Will McLaren or Max Verstappen Pit in the post!

An iconic street racing circuit, which sees an unknown strategy this weekend because of the Two mandatory pit stops, has been ordered For this race an interesting turn that excites the race even more.

The Monaco Grand Prix practitioners saw various crashes and risky moments, which led to punishment. Lance Stroll received a One-Place grid penalty for crashing Leclerc in FP1, and Bearman in Haas had an unfortunate start, which received a fine of 10 grid for catching up under a red flag in FP2.

The qualification starts and the roaring engines are the only sound in Monaco this weekend. Many drivers used the new soft tires, and only Colapinto and Gasly tried out the medium -sized tires for Q1. After various errors in the practice sessions, let’s hope that the qualification will no longer see red flags.

All cars have set decent times in the run -up to the end of Q1, and the teams are desperate to surpass each other. The sporning temperatures of Monaco are temperamental; Cooling tires is the key to good qualification. An imminent incident between hiking wounds and Gasly means that a walk can still be fined. Soon Colapinto and Gasly tires change, all on soft tires, which seems much faster, but is a failed strategy for them.

Williams is clearly in a good place because they are in the high places, at least in the top 10 for Q1.

Antonelli clips the barrier and broke his suspension. It sends him into the wall and brings an early end to Q1. The red flag is out and ends the rest of the qualification.

Colapinto, Stroll, Gasly, Bearman and Bortoletto are out with a tragic end. Bearman, however, starts for the last time because of the penalties, and Stroll starts 19th. Kimi has come to Q2, but will not participate because his nose is in the barrier, cuts the corner and sends him into the wall. This was an easy Rookie error. I am grateful that Antonelli is not injured.

Verstappen was unhappy with Hamilton when he was on the racing line and interrupted his last round, who had no influence on his qualification, but brought a clear annoyance to Max. Q2 starts without Antonelli, and this time more teams choose the medium -sized tires to see if the cooler track temperature will help their tires.

Russel’s engine fails for Mercedes and he pulls into the tunnel, which means that the session has to stop. This is a disastrous moment for Mercedes. Russel is desperate to get his engine going, but it is a game for him and a disappointing end for Mercedes in the 15th and 14th.

With 10 minutes to go, the rest of the cars are tense, waiting to come out and show their pace. Verstappen is fighting hard for a good round, and it seems that the Ferraris and McLaren’s are currently in the provisional top positions.

Hulkenburg, Tsunoda and Sainz are out in Q2, but Hadjar pulled a fast round out of nothing and put the young Rookie in Q3. His teammate Lawson reached Q3 for the first time in 2025, perhaps he tried to prove Redbull that they were too fast to bring him back to RB.

With just a few minutes to go with the qualification of Monaco Grand Prix, Leclerc and Verstappen are desperate to walk in McLaren. Albon has a good chance of raising Williams, I hope the underdog would achieve its goals.

Both McLarens are on it for their last fast laps, both cars keep it together through the outputs and only close moments with the barriers. Purple sectors were set by both McLaren’s, while Norris took a provisional pole position from Piastri. Hamilton and Leclerc wanted to keep Ferrari in the game. Leclerc started for a provisional pole, beat the McLaren’s, but Norris is desperate to win this.

Norris is only centimeters for Leclerc in a close qualification between them.

Piastri is in third place, with Hamilton in fourth place. It is a Ferrari and McLaren fight. Verstappen is in the fifth, unable to beat everyone from the top positions – an exciting and exciting end to qualify in Monaco. The mandatory two pit stops will cause chaos and strategic ambition for the race.

The red lights went out and Norris had a desperate start, which led to a large lockup. He almost managed to hold on first, but Leclerc was desperate to pass him.

Bortoletto has a bad output in the first round and goes for the barrier. He manages to get back to work again, and draw a few cunning cars under the virtual security car, which can help them further. Bortoletto manages to continue and continues in Monaco.

The virtual Safety Car ends, but only a few laps on the way Pierre Gasly dumps into the back of Tsunoda and double yellow flags are waved. Gasly’s Day only ends a few laps in the Monaco Grand Prix, which is a worrying issue for Tsunoda.

This time the entrance to the well is closed, which will ruin the strategies of different teams. Alpine can be punished because Gasly should have been pulled on the circuit instead of going dangerous on the pit lane, so that everyone does not enter.

Verstappen and Piastri have a number of narrow encounters when the green flag comes out again, and various cars, such as Hulkenberg, Colapinto and Hadjar, make a number of early pit stops, hoping to get into free air and ride higher on the board.

In round 20, Norris makes his first pit stop, which means that Leclerc is the new racelider for the time being. Piastri has a terrible pit stop and has to make up for the outside, desperate not to let Verstappen get away.

It was one strategic race Today because of the mandatory two stops and three Sets tires. We are halfway through round 33, and only Mercedes and Williams have not set up, so they have to draw twice.

Various drivers play a team game, which means that their drivers make larger spaces for their teams and hopefully get a good pit stop. Alonso retired in round 38. The yellow flags are out and a huge amount of smoke is bursting from the back and unfortunately he has to retire. It is still useless for this season.

The Mercedes strategy is very unusual and provide fans. With only 35 laps to go and no pit stops for both drivers, will this crazy strategy work or hinder? Racing Bulls are on schedule for a successful race with a winning strategy, so that all pit stops are done by round 43 and currently in high positions of 6th and 8th.

Russell and Albon have a noisy moment. Russel takes Albon on the track, which he has to give back, but instead continues in the hope of coming up with time. Albon deliberately slows down and tries to make an opening for Sainz, so it is a very controversial moment between the drivers.

Antonelli does almost the same as his teammate, but he gives the place back, and Russel gets a drive-through penalty but still comes out for Albon. Verstappen leads the race with 20 laps to go, but has to box again, which means that Norris is still in it. However, if a safety car comes out, this would ruin McLaren’s plans.

Norris and Leclerc fight hard behind Max, desperate to hold for stage positions.

In round 64, Russel was called in the pits and him from the points and albon in 10th place. This was an unfortunate strategy for Antonelli, who twice with only a few laps to go, ruined his race and placed him last.

Verstappen places in the final round, so that Norris can fly ahead and hold the 1st for Leclerc. Norris won the Monaco Grand Prix, which was a perfect weekend and a solid strategy for McLaren, in which a 1st and 3rd position was obtained. A strong finish for Ferrari with Leclerc in 2nd and Hamilton in the 5th remains a lonely attempt for Verstappen as the only Redbull driver who earns points.

Several drivers had their career -best at Monaco, such as Hadjar in the 6th and the excellent show of the Rookie driver. A secret strategy caused Williams in points, and a strong effort by Ocon in 7th received a number of valuable points for Haas.

Then we have the Spanish Grand Prix.
