Alex and Carlos Preview Racing in the Principality

Round 8 of the 2025 Formula 1 season sees the championship head to one of the most iconic destinations on the calendar: the Monaco Grand Prix. Fresh from a fourth double points finish of the season in Imola, Atlassian Williams Racing arrives in the Principality riding a wave of momentum.

Alex Albon is eager to build on this recent form and tackle the famously unforgiving circuit.

"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,” Albono shared.

“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."

Carlos Sainz is equally enthusiastic about racing in the streets of Monte Carlo, a venue where he has stood on the podium three times previously in F1.

"I’m looking forward to getting behind the wheel through the famous streets of Monaco,” Carlos commented. “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!"
