What is the weather forecast for Monaco?

The Monaco forecast looks settled for Sunday's 78-lap grand prix.

Conditions are set to be sunny with a gentle breeze - with no sign of rain - and the temperature reaching a high of 21C.

A mandatory two-stop for Monaco

The Monaco Grand Prix will be on the F1 calendar until at least 2031

Drivers will now have to make at least two pit stops at the Monaco Grand Prix.

It is near impossible to overtake on the streets of Monte Carlo, so F1 bosses have decided on a change "with the primary intent of improving the sporting spectacle".

The drivers will be required to use at least three sets of tyres during the race.

In the event of a wet race, drivers would still have to do two stops.
