Overview

• An exclusive screening of the new Formula 1 film, starring Brad Pitt, was held in Monaco for drivers and team principals, with positive feedback from attendees.
• Max Verstappen and Lance Stroll were the only two drivers absent from the event, with Verstappen citing personal time and a simracing event as his reasons.
• The film, produced by Lewis Hamilton and directed by Joseph Kosinski, is set for release in Germany on June 26, 2025, and aims to attract a broader audience to F1.
• This weekend's Monaco Grand Prix will feature a mandatory two-stop pit-stop rule, a first for the circuit, to encourage strategic diversity on the notoriously processional track.
• Reactions to the new regulation are mixed: some see it as adding unpredictability and entertainment, while others, like Ferrari's Frédéric Vasseur, warn it could turn the race into a 'lottery.'
