Start your engines, because the 2025 Formula 1 Tag Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco just went full throttle on glamour, gossip, and grid-worthy chaos. And who had the honor of waving that iconic black-and-white checkered flag? None other than Grey’s Anatomy’s own Dr. McDreamy, aka Patrick Dempsey, who’s somehow aging like a bottle of billionaire Bordeaux (he’s 59 and still out here looking like a cologne ad).
Patrick, accompanied by his wife Jillian (looking effortlessly chic, obviously), strolled into the Monaco madness like royalty. He even stopped by the Oracle Red Bull Racing garage, possibly to ask if he could trade in his acting career for a racing helmet. Honestly? He’d look amazing in fireproof overalls.
And the Celebrities? BABY, It Was an A-Lister Stampede 💅
Monaco didn’t just host a race—it hosted a runway on wheels. The celebrity turnout looked like the Met Gala had a lovechild with a Fast & Furious movie. We’re talking:
- Naomi Campbell: Serving model-off-duty energy with enough edge to slice tires.
- Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez: Who showed up looking like they might just buy Monaco and turn it into a spaceport.
- Sofia Vergara: Radiating telenovela wealth like only she can.
- Odell Beckham Jr.: Probably scouting F1 to see if he can conquer another sport.
- Joshua Bassett & Bach Buquen: A Gen Z content creator/Disney-ish power duo moment.
- Kylian Mbappé: Giving fast feet on the field, fast cars off it.
- Leni Klum & Aris Rachevsky: Young, beautiful, and genetically blessed. We hate it (but love it).
- Patrick Schwarzenegger & Abby Champion: Bringing “Hollywood Royalty x Runway” realness.
- Rebecca Donaldson, Jess Hunt, and Margarida Corceiro: Walking proof that models don’t walk—they float.
Speaking of Margarida Corceiro, she was spotted with Lando Norris’ parents, and the internet has officially lost its mind. Are we witnessing a soft-launch-reconciliation arc?? Someone check Instagram Stories!
Meanwhile, Charles Leclerc, Monaco’s hometown heartthrob, may have finished second—but he won the public’s heart (and the “Driver of the Day” vote, thank you very much). Lando Norris took home his first-ever Monaco Grand Prix win, with Oscar Piastri finishing third and probably still trying to figure out how to pop champagne in a way that doesn’t blind a bystander.
Oh, and If You Thought That Was the End…
We’re only 8 races into a 24-race season, baby. The engines are still hot, the champagne’s still fizzing, and next stop is Barcelona for the Formula 1 Aramco Gran Premio de España. ¡Vamos!
But let’s be real—most of us are watching for the drama, the designer sunglasses, and the off-track relationships. (And, okay, maybe for Charles Leclerc’s jawline.)
