• Carlos Sainz competes this weekend in arguably the most unique race in the Formula 1 calendar: the Monaco GP, which first took place in 1929 and has been an integral part of the Formula 1 World Championship since the inaugural season in 1950.
• The Williams race driver feels comfortable in the streets of Monte Carlo: he has been on the podium in three of his last four visits. He came in second in 2021 and 2022, and finished third in 2024.
• The Spaniard is determined to carry the good momentum of the last few races, and he knows that Qualifying plays a crucial role in Sunday’s race result.
• This year’s Monaco GP also features an important change in the rulebook that will force all drivers to do at least two pit-stops during the race.

QUOTES:
“I’m looking forward to getting behind the wheel through the famous streets of Monaco; a historic track which always brings exciting weekends and that I’ve immensely enjoyed every time I’ve raced here, from Karting to F1. It’s another circuit where having a clean Saturday is absolutely key for the race. The tight streets are unforgiving, so we’ll ensure we build up throughout the weekend and into Qualifying. The weather sometimes plays a big part as well so we’ll keep an eye on every detail possible. We have built some good momentum and I’m excited to see what we can do this weekend!".
