Invicta Racing is turning the streets of Monte Carlo yellow for Round 5 of the 2025 FIA Formula 2 season at the iconic Circuit de Monaco.
Invicta Racing had a solid weekend in Imola, despite an early end to the Qualifying session preventing drivers Leonardo Fornaroli and Roman Stanek from showing their full potential.
A double points finish in the Sprint was followed by Leonardo adding to that tally in the Feature, making him the only driver to have scored points in every race so far this season.

The Circuit de Monaco may be the shortest track on the 2025 calendar, but its narrow, winding layout with unforgiving barriers on each side demands unparalleled precision and skill from drivers.
The technical nature of the circuit makes overtaking difficult, so maximising the Qualifying session and strategy calls during the races is crucial.

Key corners
-
Turn 1: Sainte Dévote is a tight right-hander immediately after the start / finish straight. There's often drama at the start of the race here due to its bottleneck effect.
-
Turns 10 – 11: At the exit of the tunnel, the Nouvelle Chicane is a hard braking zone and one of the few areas where overtaking is possible.
-
Turns 13 – 16: A series of direction changes over kerbs which can catch drivers out.

James Robinson, TEAM PRINCIPAL
The run of races during a triple-header come at you fast, so there isn’t much time to prepare in between each event, but it does help keep our momentum up. Qualifying is extremely important in Monaco with the lack of overtaking opportunities, so we will look to target a strong result there and then capitalise what we can during the races.
All local times CEST (UTC +2). Follow Invicta Racing for updates throughout the weekend.
