Not only is F1 celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, but so is the Monaco Grand Prix, as it appeared on the inaugural 1950 F1 campaign. The future looks bright for the event too, as an extension to the existing agreement with the Automobile Club of Monaco (ACM) has been signed, meaning the grand prix will take place until 2031 inclusive. As well as being a jewel in F1’s crown, continuing to attract hundreds of thousands of spectators to the Principality and millions of global television viewers worldwide, it’s the ultimate test of concentration and skill for F1 drivers. Along with the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Monaco Grand Prix forms what has become known as the prestigious ‘Triple Crown of Motorsport’.
If being close at hand to watch one of the biggest highlights of the F1 season isn't enough, there's also the added bonus of being able to indulge in all that one of the world's entertainment hotspots has to offer. As well as famous attractions like the Monte Carlo Casino, Monaco has a vibrant nightlife which comes alive during race weekend. So, don't delay, you've got to make sure you're booked in for one of the best weekends of the sporting calendar.
Legends of motor racing past, including the likes of Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher, and Niki Lauda, have all tasted success at one of the most famous circuits on the planet. Senna holds the record for most Monaco wins, having been victorious on six occasions - the brilliant Brazilian won the race five years in a row.
Five of the current crop of racers have also topped the podium in the Principality. Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are all multiple winners, alongside Sergio Perez and hometown hero Charles Leclerc. Leclerc created history last year when he became the first Monegasque to win his home Grand Prix in F1 history. His victory also broke Red Bull’s recent stranglehold of the event, with their drivers winning three years in a row (2021-2023). A good performance during qualifying has proved highly beneficial in the last couple of years. Amazingly, the 2024 top-10 finishing order was identical to how the drivers lined up on the starting grid.
Whether you’re a die-hard F1 racing fan or a casual observer, the Monaco Grand Prix is sure to captivate you. In addition to the thrilling race, visiting the French Riviera offers you the opportunity to savour a multitude of attractions and activities. Let GOAL give you the lowdown on how you can buy tickets to the Grand Prix, including how much they cost and where you can get them from.
When is the F1 Monaco Grand Prix 2025?
Date: | Sunday, May 25 |
Time: | 3 pm CET (2 pm BST) |

Where is the F1 Monaco Grand Prix 2025 held?
Getty ImagesThe Circuit de Monaco is a 3.3 km street circuit laid out on the city streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine around the harbour of the Principality of Monaco. Famous track features include the slowest corner in F1, the Loews Hairpin and the iconic Casino Square and Swimming Pool sections.
The idea for a Grand Prix race around the streets of Monaco came from Antony Noghès, the president of the Monegasque motor club, Automobile Club de Monaco. The inaugural race was held in 1929 and was won by William Grover-Williams in a Bugatti. The race was part of the calendar in the first year of the Formula 1 World Championship in 1950, and it hasn’t been off it since 1955. The circuit may be incredibly narrow and tight, but it’s a challenge that nearly all drivers love. It forces them to put their skills on the line and rewards accuracy. Overtaking on the tight streets is extremely difficult, so a good qualifying position is usually essential.
