A levitating F1 car in Monaco... 🤯🕴 #F1 #MonacoGP https://t.co/JJPecePD8S

What happened: Formula 1's official account posted an eye-catching image appearing to show an F1 car levitating above the streets of Monaco. The post, tagged #MonacoGP, leans into the spectacle of race week in Monte Carlo. It is a promotional visual rather than on-track news.

Why it matters: The Monaco Grand Prix remains the sport's marquee event, and its tight street circuit is famously difficult for overtaking. Playful social content like this is part of F1's build-up as attention turns to one of the most prestigious rounds on the calendar.

What to watch: Watch for practice and qualifying running on the Monte Carlo street circuit, where track position is decisive given how hard passing is to come by.
