The Monaco Grand Prix is the undisputed jewel in Formula 1’s glittering crown, a legendary street race which demands absolute precision and mercilessly punishes the smallest error.

First held in 1929 before joining the inaugural Formula 1 World Championship in 1950, the narrow, twisting circuit through the tiny principality on the French Riviera has served as the ultimate test of driver skill for nearly a century.

Legends like Ayrton Senna, ‘Mr. Monaco’ Graham Hill, and Michael Schumacher have defined their careers on these perilous, barrier-lined streets in a rich history of motorsport brilliance.

Lewis Hamilton remains the youngest ever winner – he was just 23 years, 4 months and 18 days old when he overcame an early puncture to triumph in 2008.

Teenage Italian star Kimi Antonelli (19) will obliterate that record should he win for Mercedes this weekend.

Three F1 power unit manufacturers have blocked FIA proposals for 2027 power unit changes, according to German media, putting Max Verstappen‘s future in doubt.

Audi, Honda, and Ferrari have emerged as the primary obstacles to proposed changes, which aim to shift the balance between the internal combustion engine and the electric motor to a 60/40 split, which would reduce the electric restrictions on drivers.

However, according to Auto Motor und Sport, several concerns remain among the power unit manufacturers. Audi and Honda are especially worried about the financial implications and the extra investments needed to adapt their cars.

Meanwhile, Ferrari is also opposed to the change but believes that part of its gap with Mercedes could be bridged through the Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities (ADUO) programme.

The debate has been ongoing for weeks, and Verstappen has hinted that his future could depend on these changes.

The four-time F1 world champion has constantly reiterated over the past few months that the new cars are ‘not fun’ to drive, and has threatened to quit the sport on more than one occasion.

At the Canadian Grand Prix last time out, the 28-year-old also said that driving in the sport beyond the end of this season is ‘not doable’ unless changes are made to the rules.

What changes have already been implemented, and what is to come?

Since the Miami Grand Prix weekend, minor adjustments have been introduced that help restore some of the old racing feel for the drivers.

While more extensive changes are planned for next season, nothing has been finalised yet – even though support for the proposals is growing.

To implement these changes for next year, a supermajority is required, meaning four out of the six engine suppliers must vote in favour.

While both Red Bull and Mercedes are open to the adjustments, Cadillac – although not producing engines at the moment but planning to do so in the future – is expected to side with Ferrari. For now, reaching a consensus appears to be a distant prospect.

A championship-winning driver has been testing McLaren F1 machinery recently, coinciding with reports Red Bull are eyeing up driver Oscar Piastri.

Max Verstappen is the champagne cork that, once released, will open up the F1 driver market, with rumours suggesting he could either leave Red Bull or the sport entirely.

Red Bull are said to be taking the chance of a Verstappen exit seriously, and have lined up Piastri as a possible replacement should he decide to leave.

On the intensifying rumours, Oscar Piastri told Sky Sports: “There’s obviously not been any discussions or anything but it’s flattering, yes. There’s not really much more than that, really.

“Hopefully it proves my stock as a driver, which is a nice thing, but I’m very happy with where I am.

“I’ve got a lot of confidence in this team that we’re going to be able to win races and hopefully championships in the future, so I’m very happy where I am.”

“I’ve got a good relationship with McLaren, so why change?”

Leonardo Fornaroli tests with McLaren

Elsewhere, McLaren have been busy with their Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) in Austin at the F1 track the Circuit of the Americas (COTA).

Here McLaren reserve driver and 2025 Formula 2 champion Leonardo Fornaroli drove the 2023 MCL60 around the track in a two-day test as part of his progression in their Driver Development Programme.

In his third TPC test, he completed 77 laps (425km) across two days of running on Wednesday and Thursday, and his run plan consisted of a mix of long and short runs, grid start procedures, and formation lap practice.

Fornaroli said after the test: “It’s always amazing to drive an F1 car. I’m grateful to McLaren for giving me another opportunity to get behind the wheel of the MCL60.

“I’m getting more comfortable with the car and also the team. The run plan was a step up from my last test in Silverstone. We got to do some practice starts, which continued to give me a better understanding of what it takes to drive an F1 car in a session. Everyone in the DDP programme continues to support and push me with these tests as I continue my development.

“This was my first time driving around COTA. I really enjoyed it, and I am already looking forward to my next opportunity in an F1 car. Until then, I’ll be supporting the F1 team in the simulator for the Monaco GP.”
