How to follow Monaco Grand Prix on the BBC

Round eight of the 2025 Formula 1 season is the Monaco Grand Prix from 23-25 May.

McLaren's Oscar Piastri continues to lead the drivers' championship, 13 points clear of team-mate Lando Norris.

Max Verstappen remains third in the championship after winning his second race this season for Red Bull at Imola.

In the constructors' standings, McLaren lead second-placed Mercedes by 132 points.

Sunday's race in Monaco starts at 14:00 BST.

Monegasque Charles Leclerc was quickest in both practice sessions on Friday, topping the timesheets ahead of Piastri and Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton in the more representative second hour of running.

Commentary of the race will be available on BBC Radio 5 Live, with practice and qualifying on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2 on BBC Sounds, plus the BBC Sport website and app.

You can also listen via most smart speakers. All you need to do is say "ask BBC Sounds to play the Monaco Grand Prix" or "play Sports Extra 2".

The Monaco forecast looks settled across the weekend's racing, with Sunday's 78-lap grand prix expected to be sunny with a gentle breeze. The temperature is set to be 21C, with no sign of rain.

Saturday's qualifying has a very small chance of rain, 12% at the moment, but overall the sun should be out for the afternoon fight for pole position.

Drivers will now have to make at least two pit stops at the Monaco Grand Prix.

It is near impossible to overtake on the streets of Monte Carlo, so F1 bosses have decided on a change "with the primary intent of improving the sporting spectacle".

The drivers will be required to use at least three sets of tyres during the race.

In the event of a wet race, drivers would still have to do two stops.
