What is the weather forecast for Monaco?
The early forecast predicts Sunday's race will have sunny conditions and a gentle breeze. The temperature is set to be 21C, with no sign of rain.
For Friday's practice sessions, it will be sunny, with temperatures reaching 19C.
It will also be sunny on Saturday, with an 11% chance of rain during qualifying.
A mandatory two-stop for Monaco
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.
