Monaco GP: Williams Racing Grand Prix Preview

May 22 2025

Following on from a series of successful races in Miami and Imola the Atlassian Williams Racing Team moves to the streets of Monaco for the 2025 Monaco GP. For both Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon they are both keen to maintain the momentum achieved in the last few races but it will be very demanding on this most difficult of tracks. In large part it will come down to their performances in qualifying which will set the tone for Sunday's race. For Alex he is hoping to secure another good points result while for Carlos he must be hoping for a reversal of his recent misfortunes which saw him finish in the points but lower than hoped for. Overall Monaco does offer the team another opportunity to further enhance their position in the WCC.

 
2025 Monaco GP Preview
 

Carlo Sainz:
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!

Alex Albon:
The Monaco Grand Prix is an amazing track to experience in a Formula 1 car and it’s nice to be racing again so soon after Imola. It was a really strong result to score another P5 and bring the team another points haul. We are maximising our weekends and that’s what we’ll be aiming to do again this week. Overtaking is notoriously difficult at this track so a strong performance in Qualifying will be vital to give us the best possible chance of points on race day.
