What is the next round of the 2025 Formula One season?
The Monaco Grand Prix is the next round of the 2025 Formula One season, taking place on Sunday, May 25. The teams will travel to Circuit de Monaco for another terrific weekend of motorsports action.
The 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.
