The Monaco Grand Prix’s contract has been extended until 2031, and it will no longer clash with the Indianapolis 500 due to a date change. This iconic race was originally set to end in 2025, but ongoing discussions with F1 led to a schedule revamp. Starting from 2026, the race will be held on the first weekend of June each year instead of its late May slot. This extension allows for a potential alignment with Miami and Canada races, reducing logistical strains and enhancing sustainability efforts. F1’s president Stefano Domenicali praised the uniqueness of Monaco’s streets and expressed gratitude to Prince Albert II and all involved for the extended partnership. The Monaco Grand Prix remains a cornerstone event for the principality, attracting both local and global interest.
