Rolling out later today, users can explore Monaco including 3D Monégasque landmarks, such as the Monte Carlo Casino, Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, the Monaco Yacht Club, and F1 Paddock Club in Apple Maps. Dark mode also gives users an evening view of Monaco in a moonlit glow that activates at dusk.
The Detailed City Experience also features in-depth details for road markings, trees, and public transit routes, as well as helpful navigation details like turn lanes, medians, bus and bike lanes, and crosswalks. It also features a windshield view for drivers, which shows a road-level view as a user approaches a complex interchange making it easier to see upcoming traffic conditions or the best lane for an approaching exit.
In time for the upcoming Grand Prix de Monaco, which takes place between May 23-25, Apple Maps is also offering users, attendees, and Formula 1 fans an in-depth way to explore and enjoy the race. The racetrack will be highlighted in Apple Maps and includes details like markers for each of the circuit’s iconic turns, along with 3D representations of grandstands, footbridges, the finish line, and more. Apple Maps will also share advisories like road closures to help attendees get around as easily as possible.
In celebration of next month’s release of Apple Original Films ’F1 The Movie, Apple Maps users can also explore a custom guide featuring the world’s most iconic F1 racetracks, including Monaco and other tracks featured in the upcoming film.
Ian Holmes, Chief Media Rights and Broadcasting Officer at Formula 1, said:
“F1 The Movie is set to be truly immersive, and Apple is taking that one step further, enabling fans to dive into both Monaco and the film locations through Apple Maps. They’ll be able to navigate the principality during the iconic FORMULA 1 TAG HEUER GRAND PRIX DE MONACO 2025 and hunt down key landmarks in Monaco and the race, to truly feel part of the action ahead of the film’s launch at the end of June.”
Eddy Cue, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Services, said:
“Apple Maps is the best way to navigate and explore the world, so we’re excited to bring this amazing experience to F1 fans and attendees of the Grand Prix de Monaco. Whether fans are there in person or watching from afar, the beautifully designed Detailed City Experience and Monaco Grand Prix features give them an incredible view into Monaco, just in time for the race and the upcoming premiere of F1 The Movie.”
Formula 1 and AWS launch ‘Real-Time Race Track’ experience
Formula 1 and Global Partner AWS have announced the launch of a brand-new interactive digital experience, ‘Real-Time Race Track’, which allows fans to create, customise, and share their own F1 track design. As part of the experience, they can also enter a sweepstake for a chance to win a trip to the FORMULA 1 BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2026.
Using AI-powered analysis from Amazon Nova, ‘Real-Time Race Track’ enables fans to design an original, custom race track of any shape and length using their computer’s mouse or by tracing their finger on any touchscreen device.
Following the completion of the circuit, each turn and straight on the track is analysed by Amazon Nova, which produces key on-track metrics including top speed and projected lap time, as well as two viable race strategies, further evaluating the optimal pit timing, tyre recommendations and tactical adjustments for various weather scenarios. The detailed level of data across the experience offers fans an insight into the world of Formula 1 team strategists and creates an authentic strategic dimension to each custom circuit design.
After creating and submitting a track, fans can enter a sweepstake to win a trip to the FORMULA 1 BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2026, with the winner being selected at random, providing the opportunity to see first-hand a variety of strategies from the teams across the race weekend. The draw for the sweepstake will close on 16 July, 2025.
The latest experience builds upon the strategic Partnership between Formula 1 and AWS, which began in 2018. Over the past seven years, the collaboration has consistently delivered innovations that elevate the on-track competition, as well as the off-track experience for fans. With more than a million data points per second coming off the cars, the cornerstone of Formula 1’s partnership with AWS is the ability to extract valuable insights from all the data, and the ‘Real-Time Race Track’ experience applies that knowledge combined with AWS’s advanced analytics and artificial intelligence for the benefit of fans.

Jonny Haworth, Director of Commercial Partnerships, Formula 1 said:
“Our ongoing partnership with AWS continues to evolve and transform how fans interact with Formula 1. The ‘Real-Time Race Track’ experience exemplifies how we’re using cloud technology and AI to bring fans closer to the sport than ever before. As we celebrate our 75th anniversary, we’re giving fans an inside look at the complexities and innovation of race strategy, using the same technology that helps to power our sport.”
Kristin Shaff, Global Director of Strategic Partnerships, AWS said:
“When we first began working with Formula 1, they presented us with a unique challenge – how to use telemetry data to further engage fans during live races. That vision has since materialized into 23 data-driven F1 Insights that appear during the broadcast to help fans better understand how teams devise strategies. With today’s launch of the Real-Time Race Track experience, we’re taking this approach to a new level of interactivity. Now anyone can design their own circuit and instantly see how weather conditions, track configurations, pit timing, and tire selection influence performance.”
