I won't get to experience the noise and heat of the real-life Formula One Monaco Grand Prix race in person on May 23-25, but following along at home will take on an added dimension due to a new Apple Maps update.

You can also listen via most smart speakers. All you need to do is say "ask BBC Sounds to play the Monaco Grand Prix". Make sure to download the Chequered Flag podcast, which previews and reviews every race of the season. First practice: 12:30-13:30 (BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2, BBC Sounds and smart speakers)

While Monaco gets the most attention ahead of its May 25th race, some other Formula 1 tracks seen in the upcoming film will go on to be showcased as part of the app's Guides feature. Details on exactly what this means are light, but the guide should be worth exploring for F1 fans who enjoy scrolling around on a navigation app.
