F1 2025 Weather Forecast: Rain Could Shake Up Monaco GP Qualifying in This Highly Anticipated Weekend

Monte Carlo hosts another edition of the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend. But what kind of weather can drivers expect upon arrival in the Principality?

For now, most of the event is expected to take place in dry and pleasant conditions, but showers are likely to affect the all-important Saturday afternoon qualifying session — either just before or during! Enough to shake up the race and potentially upend the established order.

And even if the race is run in the dry, remember that two pit stops will be mandatory to encourage strategic variation on a circuit that puts little wear on the tyres.
