The Monaco Grand Prix is traditionally a one-stop race due to minimal tyre degradation at low speeds. However, this year, to enhance excitement, every driver must make a minimum of two pit-stops. Additionally, drivers are required to utilize at least three sets of tyres, incorporating at least two different compounds. This opens up possibilities for strategies like Medium-Hard-Hard or Soft-Medium-Hard.
