This weekend, the principality of Monaco will once again transform into the most prestigious asphalt on the calendar. For the true car enthusiast, the Monaco Grand Prix is the ultimate blend of history, engineering, and precision. Whether you enjoy the tactics on the track or prefer to assemble an iconic LEGO car yourself, this weekend is entirely dedicated to the premier class.
The schedule for 2026
The action in the narrow streets of Monte Carlo begins on Friday. For collectors and fans, this is the moment to see who has found the right setup for the tightest corners of the year.
| Day | Session | Time |
| Friday, June 5, 2026 | First Practice (FP1) | 13:30 – 14:30 |
| Friday, June 5, 2026 | Second Practice (FP2) | 17:00 – 18:00 |
| Saturday, June 6, 2026 | Third Practice (FP3) | 12:30 – 13:30 |
| Saturday, June 6, 2026 | Qualifying | 16:00 – 17:00 |
| Sunday, June 7, 2026 | The Monaco Grand Prix (Race) | 15:00 |
In Monaco, Saturday is often more important than Sunday. Because overtaking is almost impossible on this circuit, qualifying is when the race is won or lost. For a driver like Max Verstappen or Charles Leclerc, every millimeter between the tire and the guardrail counts.
Why Monaco triggers us as enthusiasts
What makes Monaco so special for people with a passion for cars is the tangible technology in an impossible place. While we tinker in our own garage or build a complex LEGO Technic model, in Monaco we see how engineers push the suspension and steering of an F1 car to the limit to navigate the hairpin bend at the Grand Hotel.
For collectors among us, this is also the weekend when the most beautiful special editions are released. Think of the exclusive liveries that teams sometimes reveal especially for this race. It is precisely that attention to detail that we at Boldons also value so much in our collection of model cars and lifestyle items.
The race in your own living room
Not everyone is on a yacht in Monte Carlo harbor, but you can bring the experience home. For LEGO builders, there are beautiful sets that replicate the complex aerodynamics of modern F1 cars. Think of the detailed suspension and the working V6 engines that provide hours of building fun.
Monaco is also a source of inspiration for Hot Wheels collectors. The search for that one specific version of a historic winner, such as Senna's legendary MP4/4, is what connects our community. It's about capturing a moment in motorsport history on a scale that fits on your desk.
Prepare for the spectacle
Make sure you're ready this weekend. Monaco is a race of concentration and endurance. One small mistake at the Sainte-Dévote corner and it's over. At Boldons, we are especially looking forward to the technical prowess and the atmosphere that this classic brings.
