F1 2025 Monaco Grand Prix Weather Forecast: Sunshine and Strategy Await in Monte Carlo
The 2025 Formula 1 season rolls into its eighth round this weekend with the 82nd edition of the iconic Monaco Grand Prix. Set against the glamorous backdrop of Monte Carlo, fans and teams alike are gearing up for a dramatic showdown in the tight, twisting streets of the principality.
Last year’s hometown hero Charles Leclerc finally ended his Monaco curse with a long-awaited victory Ferrari’s first at the venue since Sebastian Vettel’s triumph in 2017. However, replicating that success in 2025 may prove difficult for both Leclerc and teammate Lewis Hamilton, with Ferrari struggling to match the one-lap pace necessary to dominate in Monaco’s qualifying-heavy format.
Qualifying is everything in Monte Carlo, where overtaking is notoriously tough. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, both with three pole positions each so far this season, are widely tipped as favourites for the win—especially given their consistent qualifying form.
In an effort to spice up the spectacle, the FIA has mandated a two-stop race for this year’s Monaco GP. While strategy will play a role, could the weather throw in an additional twist?
