F1 Monaco GP live updates: Follow latest from FP1 and FP2 in Monte Carlo today
Just seven days after F1's 2025 European debut with the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, it's straight into the carnage of Monaco.
There's little chance we will ever see the sprint race format around this place, so it's the more standard free-practice routine once again.
That said, it was only 2022 when the tradition of practice taking place on a Thursday — keeping Friday free in Monte Carlo — was scrapped for the more pragmatic three-day run.
Our first hour of free practice is on the way shortly, with the green light for FP1 scheduled for 7:30 a.m. ET. That is 4:30 a.m. on the west coast and 12:30 p.m. in the UK.
FP2 then takes place from 11 a.m. ET, which is 8 a.m. PT and 4 p.m. BST.
Come Saturday it's a 6:30 a.m start on the east coast for FP3, so 3:30 a.m. PT and 11:30 a.m. in the UK — ahead of a crucial qualifying at 10 a.m. eastern; which is 7 a.m PT and 3 p.m. BST.
All of which paves the way for Sunday's race, with lights out at 9 a.m. ET, 6 a.m. PT and 2 p.m. in the UK.
Yes, those are exactly the same times as last weekend. How lovely to have the semblance of a routine.

Former Reality Television Show Contestant Dies in Car Crash at 24
Sam Gardiner, who starred in the second season of the British reality television show Race Across the World, died Thursday from injuries suffered in a serious car accident earlier in the week. Gardiner, 24, was driving his white Volkswagen on the A34 near Manchester Monday night when his car left the roadway and rolled before landing on its side, according to the Greater Manchester Police. Gardiner was the only occupant of the vehicle. He was taken to the hospital with severe head injuries, where he remained until his death three days later. In a statement, Gardiner's parents Jo and Andrew confirmed his tragic passing. 'We are devastated by the loss of our beloved son Sam in a terrible accident," the statement reads. "Sam left us far too soon, and whilst words will never fully capture the light, joy and energy he brought into our lives, we hold on to the memories that made him so special. Sam was adored by his family. As a son, brother and nephew, he was loyal, funny and fiercely protective. 'Sam brought warmth, laughter and a smattering of chaos wherever he went. He leaves behind a huge hole in our hearts. We will miss him endlessly, but we'll also remember him with smiles, tall tales, and a depth of love that will never fade'. Sam, a landscape gardener, and his mother were contestants on Race Across the World, where they finished fourth out of five teams. The experience "opened his eyes to the wonder of adventure and travel," said Gardiner's parents. "We are all deeply saddened to hear the tragic news about Sam," said a Race Across the World spokesperson. "Everyone who worked with him, and indeed everyone who watched Sam, could see just how precious and transformative the trip was for both him and his mum Jo." We would also like to extend our condolences to Gardiner's family and friends during this difficult time.

Manchester City monitoring Gianluigi Donnarumma's contract talks with PSG
Manchester City are lurking in the background as Gianluigi Donnarumma holds contract talks with Paris Saint-Germain after winning the UEFA Champions League title, as per a new report. The 26-year-old was in net for the high-flying French outfit who cruised their way to a sensational treble on Saturday courtesy of a stylish 5-0 battering of a meagre Inter side at the Allianz Arena. Advertisement Donnarumma has lifted his maiden UEFA Champions League title after years of failure in Paris and has been one of Luis Enrique's most eye-catching players in a team that has conquered all before itself en route to Ligue 1 and European glory this term. However, the Italy international, who received huge plaudits for his heroics in the 2021 European Championship penalty shootout win over England, faces an uncertain future at the Parc des Princes as he enters the final 12 months of his contract. Manchester City have recruited Hugo Viana to take over from Txiki Begiristain as director of football in the summer and are likely to enter the market for a new goalkeeper as Ederson continues to draw interest from Saudi Arabia amidst uncertainty over the future of Stefan Ortega Moreno. Advertisement Pep Guardiola is eyeing four to five first-team additions ahead of the 2025-26 campaign and Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak recently outlined the club's plans to announce all new signings in time for the FIFA Club World Cup, which begins in mid-June. City are closing in on deals to sign Lyon's Rayan Cherki and AC Milan's Tijjani Reijnders to begin their squad overhaul as Kevin De Bruyne nears a two-year move to Napoli after being told he does not feature in the club's plans next season. Guardiola will also have a new full-back in his ranks as Kyle Walker searches for a new club after returning from a loan spell at AC Milan, with Manchester City making it clear they are in the market for a new wide defender as they look to sell their former club captain. As per a new report by Gianluca Di Marzio, Manchester City are waiting for Gianluigi Donnarumma to make a decision on his future at Paris Saint-Germain as they look to bolster their options in goal after a disappointing 2024-25 campaign. Advertisement Ederson wanted to leave for Saudi Arabia last summer but a transfer failed to materialise and Ortega Moreno has not convinced Guardiola to take over as number one should the former leave the 2023 treble winners after eight seasons at the Etihad Stadium. It is understood that none of PSG's current renewal offers have met Donnarumma's financial expectations and Manchester City remain in a strong financial position after a few years of lucrative academy and first-team sales should they pursue their interest in the Italian shotstopper. It remains to be seen if City do seriously target Donnarumma but after keeping a clean sheet in the UEFA Champions League final victory over Inter Milan, it is likely that all parties reach a middle ground and shake hands to tie the 26-year-old down to fresh terms in the French capital.
