Issue #672: Younf Prince of Monaco

This weekend saw one of the highlights of the motorsport calendar in the Monaco Grand Prix, a McLaren milestone, and a MotoGP weekend that confirmed the sport's most compelling championship battle is very much alive. We were on the ground on the streets of Monte Carlo as Formula 1 navigated the legendary barriers of the Principality. Graham Harris, Jack Oliver Smith, James Phillips, Sue Justice and Fleur Rogerson bring you all the detail, with James Moy's photography capturing the unique atmosphere that only Monaco can produce. Monaco also provided the backdrop for McLaren's 1,000th race in Formula 1 – James has put together a special feature to mark the occasion, charting the Woking outfit's extraordinary journey from its earliest days to the modern era of papaya-liveried glory. Jack also joined James in analysing if F1 has quite literally outgrown Monaco in this week’s edition of Start Your Engines. Meanwhile in Hungary, MotoGP was in action at the Balaton Grand Prix, where Marc Marquez did the double - claiming both the Sprint and race victory for the factory Ducati team, while Marco Bezzecchi extended his championship lead once more. Luke Newman covers qualifying, the Sprint and the race in full, detailing a dramatic weekend on two wheels. Oliver Bell was our man in the BTCC paddock once again this week, reporting from Oulton Park across an action-packed weekend of Touring Car racing that saw home hero hopes evaporate after initial triumph. And, as always, we have all the news, views and stories in this week's edition of the most widely read weekly motorsport magazine in the world!
