At the heart of Monaco’s Grand Prix weekend, the Fan Zone has once again proved to be a vital part of the experience, offering thousands of visitors a vibrant and immersive way to live the race, even off the track…
Located on the Place d’Armes and already buzzing since Thursday morning, the zone combines interactive exhibits, meet-and-greets, and high-tech simulators to bring fans closer to the sport’s stars and adrenaline-fueled action.
From racing simulators and reaction tests to the always-popular Pit Stop Challenge, where fans can try their hand at changing a Formula 1 tyre against the clock, the Fan Zone has something for everyone—enthusiasts, families, and first-time visitors alike. The chance to win memorabilia, including signed steering wheels, adds to the competitive fun. One of the highlights remains the driver appearances. This year, Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris, and Fernando Alonso all graced the stage, offering autographs, selfies, and waves to ecstatic fans, some of whom queued for hours to catch a glimpse of their heroes.
For children and parents, the Fan Zone provides a relaxed and festive atmosphere earlier in the day, allowing families to explore and engage without the weekend’s overwhelming crowds. As one visitor put it, “It’s an amazing way for the kids to experience the Grand Prix up close and get involved in the passion of it all.”
Beyond the glitz of qualifying and race day, Monaco’s Fan Zone is a key element that transforms the Grand Prix into a full-scale festival of motorsport. It offers unparalleled access, energy, and excitement—capturing the unique spirit of Formula 1 in the Principality. As Monaco gears up for the weekend’s main events, the Fan Zone ensures the pulse of the Grand Prix can be felt far beyond the circuit barriers.
