Mercedes exploit F1 loophole to take the fight to Ferrari at Monaco Grand Prix
Mercedes is using a loophole in the 2026 F1 rules to boost their performance at the Monaco Grand Prix. Despite winning the first five races, they are second favorite to Ferrari this weekend. Key figures believe Ferrari’s dominance in low-speed corners gives them an edge in Monaco. F1 has banned active aerodynamics for safety reasons, affecting rear wing operations. Teams like Mercedes are exploiting loopholes to enhance downforce with extra winglets. Despite leading the constructors’ championship, Mercedes is not backing down in their competitive approach. McLaren, Red Bull, and Audi are also adapting to the rule changes.
