The FIA has confirmed that a two-stop requirement will be mandated for this year’s F1 Monaco Grand Prix.
The F1 Commission proposed a mandatory two-stop strategy for the Monaco Grand Prix to improve the spectacle following lackluster races in recent years. This decision was made after only four on-track overtakes occurred during the 2024 race. The World Motor Sport Council approved this proposal, requiring at least three sets of tires to be used, with a minimum of two different compounds if it’s a dry race. Monaco winner Charles Leclerc welcomed the change, believing it could enhance the excitement of the event. However, he emphasized the need to remain open-minded and potentially revert back if the new strategy does not have the desired impact. Leclerc highlighted the importance of strategy in making the race more engaging and captivating for both drivers and fans.
