What happened: McLaren posted a tribute marking its 1,000th Grand Prix, thanking Monaco as it celebrated "the 1st, the 1000th and everything in between." The milestone caps a stretch of commemorative content the team has been rolling out around the Monaco weekend.

Why it matters: Reaching 1,000 Grands Prix is a rare measure of longevity in Formula 1, placing McLaren among the sport's most enduring constructors. The team has leaned into the moment with a run of Monaco-themed celebrations, including the same 1,000th-Grand-Prix milestone McLaren marked with yacht antics at Monaco.

What to watch: Attention turns back to on-track results as McLaren carries the milestone into the rest of its 2026 campaign.
