The FIA has confirmed the World Motor Sport Council has officially green-lighted F1’s plan for the Monaco Grand Prix to be a mandatory two-stop race.
The World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) has officially approved the Monaco Grand Prix to become a two-stop race. This decision comes after concerns about the lack of track action during the race. The traditional one-stop strategy at Monaco has limited overtaking opportunities due to the narrow track layout. With modern F1 cars also playing a role in the lack of overtaking, the race often relies heavily on qualifying results to determine the outcome. By introducing a second mandatory pit stop, the hope is to add more strategic elements and make the race more exciting for fans. While the F1 commission has given its approval, specific details about the new rules, such as tire combinations, are yet to be finalized.
