Formula One returns to the Mediterranean this weekend for the Monaco Grand Prix, the most storied race on the F1 calendar. It's been part of F1 since the birth of the series after World War II and is F1's entry into motorsport's famous Triple Crown. L’emblématique Grand Prix de Monaco de Formule 1 a lieu ce week-end.

But as Friday's practice sessions close and the drivers prepare for Sunday's Grand Prix, here are the three things worth following on the track: Monaco's hometown heroes, both real and adopted Ferrari's Charles Leclerc is the only Monegasque driver on the grid; he was born in the Monte Carlo district and grew up walking (and driving) these streets. He's expected to perform well this weekend and will undoubtedly get the biggest cheers from the crowd. Keep an eye out for signs around Monaco in his honor: many figure to say "Daghe Charles," which means "Go Charles" in the local dialect.
Daghe, Charles!! ❤️ Cheering on our number 16 for his sixth home Grand Prix this weekend #MonacoGP #F1 pic.twitter.com/pEIdL1c7bI But while Leclerc is the only Monegasque-born driver, the principality has another "hometown" hero to root for in McLaren's Oscar Piastri .
Piastri's family comes from all over the world and he has cheekily claimed "home races" in a variety of countries from Australia.
