Preparations are underway to transform the streets of Monaco into an F1 venue, with organisers implementing new signage following a name change for the iconic race.
Monaco has had a consistent spot on the F1 calendar since 1955, with its debut even earlier in 1950.
The track continues to challenge drivers with its narrow streets and tight, winding corners.
The Monaco GP’s contract has been extended until the 2035 season, now known as the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco after partnering with the luxury fashion brand.
Louis Vuitton is the second-ever title sponsor in the race’s rich history on the F1 calendar.
Some changes have been made for the 2026 Monaco GP, including the elimination of the mandatory two-stop race rule from last year.
Additional alterations for 2026 involve the removal of the straight mode for safety reasons and a reduction in maximum battery deployment speed by the FIA.
