Nikola Tsolov’s Monte Carlo Weekend Debrief

9 June 2026

Nikola Tsolov once again stood on the top of the podium in Monte Carlo, this doing so for this victory of the 2026 FIA Formula 2 season.

After coming out on top of the Feature Race, the Campos Racing driver looked back on his trip to the Principality and also set his sights on Round 5 in Barcelona, the team’s home race weekend.

WINNING IN MONTE CARLO

“I feel great. To win here a third time in a row. It's just amazing around this track in Monaco and to do it in F2 is even better.

“It feels good because I kind of had redemption after what happened in Canada and it's just great to be back on top. I knew we had the pace.

“I always feel confident around this track and coming into the weekend I was aiming for consistency and we got even more than that, so I'm just happy to keep building on that.”

MISSING OUT ON POLE POSITION AND THE SPRINT

“It was not frustrating at all to miss out on pole because in the end we want to do the best we can do in our group and then we were P1 in the group and then P2 overall, because we missed out a little bit.

“Obviously, you always have a little bit more in the lap, so I did get slightly frustrated at some point, but I was really happy with the result.

“Also in my opinion the track wasn't as good in group two because the track temp was 10 degrees hotter, so I think that made my life a little bit more difficult.

“For the Sprint, we just wanted to aim for the fastest lap, so I didn't really learn a lot about the car if I have to be honest, but we got that extra point so it was clearly worth it.”

BARCELONA UP NEXT

“I’m feeling good. For me, it’s just to keep building on top five results, that will be the key from now onwards, keep the rhythm and that's it. I’m happy to go to Barcelona.”
