F1 HEADLINES: Lewis Hamilton triggers serious action as FIA announce further Monaco GP changes

Ferrari stars Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc endured a rollercoaster weekend at the Emilia-Romagna GP having been unable to make it out of Q2 but recovering well to both finish in the top 10 last Sunday.

Leclerc was crowned victorious at the 2024 Monaco GP, but given Ferrari's disappointing form in 2025 thus far, it may be difficult for him to step on the podium again in front of his home crowd.

Prior to Sunday's race, all 20 drivers must first take to the track on Friday and Saturday for three practice sessions, to prepare for the vital qualifying and of course the iconic main event.
