Ferrari F1 team principal Fred Vasseur will be absent from the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend for medical reasons.

Vasseur, 58, will not be trackside in Monte Carlo as Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc look to secure the team's first win of the season.

The team have taken to social media to confirm the Frenchman's absence as they and the rest of the F1 community wish him a speedy recovery.

Ferrari bid for Monaco glory

Despite Vasseur's absence in Monaco, the team remain steadfast in their goal for the weekend - to win their first race of the season.

So far it has been all Mercedes, but power isn't king in the narrow streets of Monte Carlo.

All the drivers seem to agree that Ferrari have the best chassis and in the hands of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, there seems to be very little that the Silver Arrows can do to stop them.

Qualifying is of course crucial, but even if by some miracle we don't see a Prancing Horse on the front row come Sunday, their lightning fast starts will still give them every chance of getting ahead before the inevitable procession starts.
