F1 Monaco Grand Prix: Here’s When, Where and How to Watch 2025 Race in India

The 2025 Formula 1 season continues with the iconic Monaco Grand Prix, where the championship fight is getting intense. Oscar Piastri leads the F1 driver standings after the Imola Grand Prix, but his gap has reduced to just 13 points over McLaren teammate Lando Norris. Max Verstappen, after taking his second win at Imola, is now only nine points behind Norris. With three top drivers in tight contention, the Monaco GP could shift the title momentum.

This year's Monaco GP features a new F1 regulation. All drivers must make two pit stops, regardless of weather. The FIA introduced this rule to increase strategy options and improve race excitement on a track known for difficult overtaking. The Monaco F1 circuit has often seen processional races, and this rule aims to bring more action to fans.

The new two-stop rule follows criticism of the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix. With this fresh regulation in place, F1 teams will need to plan carefully to avoid traffic and take advantage of pit stop timing. The 2025 Monaco GP is shaping up to be one of the most strategic and unpredictable races of the season, adding excitement to the F1 calendar.

F1 Monaco Grand Prix: About the Track

The Monaco Grand Prix, long known as the "Crown Jewel" of the Formula 1 calendar, has been under scrutiny for sometime. While it remains a symbol of prestige with its historic circuit, glamorous setting, and tight street layout, critics now question its relevance.

A major concern is Monaco’s single DRS zone, which offers fewer overtaking chances than most F1 circuits. Although DRS was introduced in 2011 to boost passing, Monaco’s tight layout limits its effectiveness. With two mandatory pit stops added this year, it's uncertain how much the new rule will influence the race outcome.
