The big talking point for the upcoming Monaco GP is the mandatory two-stop rule, introduced specifically for this race. The change will apply for both wet and dry races, with F1 stating it has been introduced to “with the primary intent of improving the sporting spectacle”.  Just like Imola, Pirelli will be bringing its three softest compounds to Monaco as well.

Overtaking is notoriously difficult at the iconic street track, leading to processional races. It remains to be seen if the new rule will spice things up enough. But it should at least avoid a repeat of last year’s Monaco GP, where a red flag period resulted in majority of the grid completing the race without a single pit-stop.

Oscar Piastri still leads the championship after the Imola GP, but his advantage has been slashed to 13 points over his McLaren teammate Lando Norris. Max Verstappen has also gained ground in the standings after his Imola victory, and is now just nine points behind Norris.

F2 Monaco GP India timings

Starting position is key at a track like Monaco, so, qualifying will probably be the most important session of the weekend. The F2 field will be split into two groups for this, with the odd-numbered cars in Group A and even-numbered cars in Group B.

The championship battle remains tight with Alexander Dunne leading the standings after his Imola race win. Luke Browning is six points behind him in second place, followed by Richard Verschoor, who is a further three points adrift. After a difficult Imola round, India’s Kush Maini is currently 17th in the standings.

MotoGP also heads to an iconic venue this weekend, with the British GP at Silverstone. So, can it deliver a fifth different race winner in a row?

Ducati rider Marc Marquez has won every single sprint race so far this season, but his performance on Sunday has been a lot less consistent, with a couple of high-profile crashes. He currently leads the standings by 22 points from his brother Alex Marquez. Francesco Bagnaia is third overall, 35 points behind Alex. Fabio Quartararo and Yamaha’s form will be another thing to watch out for.

25-year-old Indycar rookie Robert Shwartzman took a surprise pole position for this year’s Indy 500. He’s the first rookie to achieve this feat since Teo Fabi back in 1983.

The team was at the bottom of the timing sheets at the start of the week, but managed to turn around its fortunes in spectacular fashion.

Shwartzman will share the front row with two-tine Indy 500 winner Takuma Sato (RLL Racing) and Arrow McLaren’s Pato O’Ward.
