Is there any better weekend to be a motorsport fan? You may be tuning in for the Monaco Grand Prix or the Indianapolis 500 – but there’s plenty of junior single-seater action that’ll be worth your while too. We tell you all about how to catch it all.

By Feeder Series

This Sunday is a banner day for motorsport, with the F1 Monaco Grand Prix and Indianapolis 500 – two of three races in the triple crown of motorsports – taking place just hours apart. And you’ll have to savour it while it lasts as Monaco moves to an early June date from 2026 onwards.

Luckily for you, F1 isn’t where it ends either. F2 and F3 join Monaco for four days of track action and a modified weekend format featuring qualifying sessions split into two groups. And while the Freedom 100 in support of the Indianapolis 500 may be a relic of a bygone era, there are similar events in USF Pro 2000 and USF2000 – the Freedom 90 and Freedom 75 respectively – at nearby Indianapolis Raceway Park.

Further down the ladder, British F4, Italian F4 and F4 SEA continue their seasons, while FRegional Japan holds its first race of 2025 at Okayama. So too does the new-look AU4 Championship, formerly known as Australian F4, after a two-month delay due to shipping issues.

GB4 is also racing at Snetterton, and schedule changes stemming from the UK’s bank holiday mean its final two races will take place on Monday. For that reason, our weekend review piece will go out Tuesday morning instead of Monday as usual.

1. Formula 2: Round 5, Monaco
2. Formula 3: Round 4, Monaco
3. FRegional Japan: Round 1, Okayama

Weather forecast: Mostly sunny throughout the weekend, with light showers possible Saturday morning.

What to know: Formula 2’s fifth round at Monaco begins earlier than usual, with practice held Thursday rather than Friday. Qualifying will be split into two groups to prevent congestion around the Principality’s tight streets.

Alex Dunne stormed to the drivers’ championship lead with feature race victory in Imola, becoming F2’s first repeat winner of 2025. Two podiums moved Luke Browning to second in the standings and helped Hitech to first in the teams’ championship. Meanwhile, the more experienced Richard Verschoor and Victor Martins faltered, the former qualifying 19th and the latter stalling off the line in the feature race. 

Verschoor will look to remedy his Monaco disappointment from last year, when he took pole position but retired from the feature race with power issues. Gabriele Minì, who took pole and victory in F3 in both 2023 and 2024, will aim to use his Monaco pedigree to recover from a non-score in Imola.

The Principality will once again feature a different schedule compared to other race weekends. Free practice will take place on Thursday, while as in F2, qualifying will feature a different format than usual in an effort to mitigate traffic. The grid will be split into two groups, with drivers placed into groups based on whether their racing number is odd or even.

Imola race winners and F3 sophomores Tim Tramnitz and Santiago Ramos will be eager to use their 2024 experience around the Circuit de Monaco to repeat their success this week. On the other hand, the Principality will present a weekend of firsts for drivers’ championship top two Rafael Câmara and Noah Strømsted, neither of whom have ever raced around the Monégasque track.

What to know: The first weekend of racing in 2025 for Italian F4 yielded an undisputed protagonist in Prema Racing’s Kean Nakamura-Berta. The Japanese-Slovakian driver claimed victory in every race he contested, bringing his tally to 75 points. 

Nearest rival and teammate Sebastian Wheldon achieved his first win in Europe in his first outing in race one, collecting one further podium in race three and a fifth-place finish in the final. 

Third in the championship is currently Van Amersfoort Racing’s Maximilian Popov, who brought home two podium finishes and one fourth place in Misano. Further down the standings are Colombia’s Salim Hanna, the leading rookie, and reigning F4 Middle East champion Emanuele Olivieri, both of whom took two podiums and a fourth-place finish. 

This weekend, Italian F4 will race in the heart of the nation from which it takes its name. The Vallelunga Circuit, situated 32 kilometres north of the capital city of Rome, will welcome the entirety of the grid from Misano with the exception of Real Racing’s Andrei Duna, one of the five drivers who did not qualify for the final last time out.

Report by Francesca Brusa

From the press: This year, Viola Formula Racing joined the Italian F4 grid and Technorace returned after a four-year absence – and both of them impressed. We spoke to their team principals and drivers in the Misano paddock last time out to talk about their paths to the series, their progress and their goals. Read what they said here.

What to know: Rodin Motorsport’s Jimmy Pisczyk stormed to the British F4 championship lead last time out at Silverstone, taking two wins and a fastest lap in the process. The Australian looks set to face a stronger challenge for the top spot this weekend, having spent most of Wednesday’s test sessions in the middle of the order.

Argenti Motorsport’s August Raber, currently third in the standings, appears to have rediscovered his frontrunning pace from the first round at Donington Park, topping the final session of the test. 

On either side of Raber in the standings, Fionn McLaughlin and Martin Molnár will both be seeking their first wins of the season having each taken a second- and a third-place finish at Silverstone. 

Chris Dittmann Racing’s Tommy Harfield, meanwhile, will hope for a less tumultuous weekend after retiring from races one and three last time out, dropping him from the championship lead pre-Silverstone to sixth. 

The F1 Academy duo of Alba Larsen and Ella Lloyd return to the series for this weekend, having missed round two for the Miami round of the F1 support series. The pair sit 19th and 22nd in the championship, respectively, with Lloyd having had an incident-filled weekend at Donington that resulted in only one classified finish. 

Lloyd will have another familiar face in the Rodin tent this weekend, as Chloe Chong – her teammate at JHR Developments in 2024 and at Rodin in F1 Academy this year – returns to the series. Chong, 18, was 24th in the overall standings in 2024 with a best finish of seventh.

He is the only driver to have finished in the top six in all six races.

Guinchard, who turns 19 on Saturday, took second place in the reverse-grid race on his last visit to Oulton Park in British F4 in 2023 – his best result that season.

Twenty-four drivers are set to take part this weekend, the same as at Silverstone in the previous round.

For one, AU4 has a new promoter in AGI Sport, Australian F4’s dominant team last year and a fixture of Australian motorsport. They take over from Top Speed.

AU4 now also permits both first- and second-generation F4 machinery. In the older cars, drivers aged 14 to 17 belong to the junior class, while those 18 and up compete in the master class. Drivers aged 15 and up can drive the newer cars.
