As Norris is set to overtake Coulthard for most laps raced with McLaren, Verstappen could overtake Vettel for most races led from start to finish and Albon could do what no Williams driver has done in almost a decade. Here are the milestones and records which could be broken at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix!
THE 2025 MONACO GRAND PRIX MILESTONES
The 2025 Monaco Grand Prix will be the 1,133rd World Championship event in Formula 1 history.
This will be the 71st time that Formula 1 has raced in Monaco. The 2025 Monaco Grand Prix will be the 82nd time that the Monaco Grand Prix has been held since it was first staged in 1929.
This will be the third time that the Monaco Grand Prix has taken place on May 25, after 2008 and 2014. Three other races have been held on this date: the Belgian Grand Prix in 1975 and 1986 and the Spanish Grand Prix in 1997.
Under the new deal it signed with Formula 1 last year, the Monaco Grand Prix will take place on the first full weekend in June from 2026 onwards. That means that this will be the last time that the Monaco Grand Prix takes place in May. In every year that it has been held since 2004, the race has taken place in May.
Yuki Tsunoda makes his 95th F1 start this weekend, equalling Ukyo Katayama as the Japanese driver who has made the most Grand Prix appearances.
This weekend, Lando Norris will equal Jenson Button as the driver to have made the second-most starts with McLaren in F1 history. Button made 136 starts with McLaren, while Norris has made 135 starts to date.
Red Bull make their 401st Grand Prix start at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, overtaking Renault for the sixth most starts for a constructor in Formula 1.
Lap 24 of the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix will be the 5,700th racing lap at Circuit de Monaco in its history on the F1 calendar.
THE FORMULA 1 RECORDS WHICH COULD BE BROKEN
If Lewis Hamilton wins the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, it would be the 23rd time that a driver has won the same race on the same date twice. Hamilton last won the Monaco Grand Prix on May 25 in 2008.
Victory for Charles Leclerc at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix would make him the 19th driver to have won multiple home races in Formula 1.
A win for Oscar Piastri this weekend would make Australia the seventh nation to have won as many as 50 Grands Prix.
If Oscar Piastri continues to lead the championship after the Monaco Grand Prix, this will be the first time an Australian driver has led the title race after four consecutive races since Alan Jones did so for five consecutive races between the 1980 Canadian Grand Prix and the 1981 Brazilian Grand Prix.
If Lando Norris completes 60 laps of the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, he will overtake David Coulthard as the driver who has raced the most Grand Prix laps with McLaren in the team’s history.
A pole position for Red Bull this weekend would be their 107th pole, equalling Lotus for fifth on the list of most pole positions for a team in Formula 1.
Pole position for Max Verstappen at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix would be his 44th pole with Red Bull, equalling Sebastian Vettel as the driver who has taken the most poles with the team. It would also see him equal Vettel for fourth on the list of most poles with a single team.
A podium finish for Max Verstappen at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix would see him overtake Michael Schumacher for second on the list of most podium finishes with a single constructor. Schumacher took 116 top three finishes with Ferrari in his career, while Verstappen has taken 116 podiums to date with Red Bull.
If Max Verstappen leads the race from start to finish, he will overtake Sebastian Vettel for third on the list of most F1 races led from start to finish. Verstappen has led 15 Grands Prix from start to end so far in his career, doing so most recently at Imola.
If George Russell or Kimi Antonelli score a point this weekend, it will be Mercedes’ 300th points-scoring Grand Prix.
A top five finish for Alex Albon at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix would make him the first Williams driver to finish in the top five at three consecutive races since Valtteri Bottas at the 2015 Italian, Singapore and Japanese Grands Prix.
A double points finish for Williams at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix would make this the first time the team has finished with both cars in the points at four races in a row since the 2016 Bahrain, Chinese, Russian and Spanish Grands Prix.
Should Fernando Alonso fail to score a point at Monaco, it would be the eighth consecutive race in which he has failed to score. It would become his longest point-less streak since finishing outside of the top ten at all of the last nine races of the 2015 season.
A pole position for Lando Norris would be his 11th with McLaren, overtaking Alain Prost and equalling Kimi Raikkonen for fifth place on the list of most poles with the team.
A podium finish for Charles Leclerc would be his 45th with Ferrari. That would see him overtake Fernando Alonso for fifth place on the list of most top three finishes with the team in F1 history.
A pole position at any Grand Prix in 2025 for Kimi Antonelli, Ollie Bearman, Gabriel Bortoleto or Isack Hadjar would make them the youngest Grand Prix polesitter in F1 history.
Max Verstappen holds the record for wins from the most different grid positions in Formula 1. He’ll become the first driver to win from 11 different grid slots this weekend should he win from 5th, 8th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 15th, 16th, 18th, 19th or 20th on the grid.
If Max Verstappen wins the race without having started from pole position, it will be the 33rd race which he has won from a position other than pole. That would see him equal Alain Prost for third place on the list of most Grand Prix victories away from pole position.
A Grand Slam for Max Verstappen – winning from pole position having led every lap and set the fastest lap – would be his sixth Grand Slam. That would see him equal Lewis Hamilton for second on the list of most Grand Slams in F1, behind only Jim Clark.
A win for Lewis Hamilton would make him the 16th driver to have won Grands Prix with as many as three different teams.
A win for Ferrari would make 2025 the 60th season in which they’ve won a Grand Prix.
A victory for a Ferrari-powered car this weekend would make Ferrari the first engine manufacturer to have powered 250 victories in Formula 1. Of the 249 previous victories, Sebastian Vettel’s with Toro Rosso at the 2008 Italian Grand Prix is the only one which was not taken in a Ferrari chassis.
A fourth place finish for Lewis Hamilton would be his 34th fourth place finish in F1, equalling Sebastian Vettel at the top of the list of most fourth place results.
THE MONACO GRAND PRIX RECORDS ON OFFER
Lewis Hamilton is one top three finish away from equalling Ayrton Senna’s record of eight podium results at the Monaco Grand Prix.
A win for a Mercedes-powered car would see Mercedes equal Ford Cosworth as the most successful engine manufacturer at the Monaco Grand Prix. Cars powered by Ford Cosworth have won the Monaco Grand Prix on 13 occasions. Ford Cosworth has held the record for most Monaco Grand Prix wins since 1974.
Should Lewis Hamilton record the fastest lap of the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, he will equal Michael Schumacher’s record of five fastest laps in Monaco.
If Lewis Hamilton leads 55 laps of the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix, he will become the fifth driver – after Stirling Moss, Graham Hill, Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher – to have led 300 laps of the Monaco Grand Prix.
If Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc complete 117 Grand Prix laps between them at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, Ferrari will become the first team to have completed 10,000 laps at Circuit de Monaco in its history on the F1 calendar.
Lewis Hamilton holds the record for the most finishes in Monaco, with 17. If he fails to finish the race, Fernando Alonso can equal his existing record.
Carlos Sainz and Oscar Piastri each hold a 100% points-finishing record at the Monaco Grand Prix. A top ten finish for Sainz would make him the first driver to score points on all of his first ten appearances in Monaco.
A first lap retirement for Nico Hulkenberg at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix would make him the first driver to record three first lap DNFs in the principality.
2025 MONACO GRAND PRIX: QUALIFYING RECORDS
Ayrton Senna’s record of five pole positions in Monaco cannot be equalled at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix but Charles Leclerc could become the sixth driver to have taken four pole positions at the event. Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna are the only other drivers to have taken as many as four poles in Monaco.
A front row start for Lewis Hamilton at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix would make him only the fourth driver – after Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost and Michael Schumacher – to have started from the front row on as many as six occasions in Monaco.
Carlos Sainz will be hoping to hold on to his 100% Q3 record at the Monaco Grand Prix. Juan Pablo Montoya, Mark Webber, Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg are the only other drivers in that club.
A Q1 exit for Lance Stroll at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix would see him equal Marcus Ericsson’s record of five Q1 eliminations in Monaco.
LONGEVITY RECORDS ON OFFER FOR HAMILTON AND ALONSO
A win for Lewis Hamilton this year would see him move into the top ten of Formula 1’s oldest Grand Prix winners. Meanwhile, a victory for Fernando Alonso would make him the sport’s sixth oldest winner – and the oldest since Jack Brabham at the 1970 South African Grand Prix. Only nine drivers have won races at the age of over 40. The most recent driver to do so was Nigel Mansell, at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix.
A pole position for Lewis Hamilton in 2025 would make him the first driver in his 40s to take pole position since Nigel Mansell at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix. He would be the sixth driver to take a pole position above the age of 40.
Lewis Hamilton is currently tied with Michael Schumacher as the driver who has set the fastest lap of a Grand Prix in the most consecutive seasons. Schumacher set a fastest lap in at least one race in all 15 seasons between 1992 and 2006, while Hamilton has set a fastest lap in every season since 2010. A fastest lap for Hamilton this year would see him become the first driver to take a fastest lap in 16 consecutive seasons.
A win for Fernando Alonso at any race in 2025 would see him set a new record for the longest gap between two Formula 1 victories, with his last having come at the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix. The current record is 6 years, 6 months and 28 days, set by Riccardo Patrese.
A pole position for Fernando Alonso in 2025 would make him the sport’s fourth-oldest polesitter. He would be the oldest polesitter since Jack Brabham at the 1970 Spanish Grand Prix.
