Formula 1 has officially announced that the iconic Monaco Grand Prix will remain on the calendar through 2031. Despite ongoing discussions about the suitability of Monaco’s narrow streets for current F1 cars, this new agreement secures the future of the prestigious circuit for at least six more years.
Monaco GP’s Future Secured
According to the agreement between Formula 1 and Monaco, the historic circuit will stay on the calendar for six more years. This extension considers Monaco’s unique place and prestige in the world of Formula 1, preserving one of the sport’s most glamorous and anticipated races.
Date Change and New Adjustments
Starting in 2026, the Monaco GP will move from its traditional late-May slot to the first weekend in June. This shift means that the Monaco GP and the Indianapolis 500 will no longer clash, allowing motorsport fans to enjoy both major events without overlap.
Monaco’s Importance in Formula 1
With its historic city-center circuit and unique challenges, the Monaco GP stands out from other F1 races. As one of the most anticipated races each season, Monaco offers drivers a distinctive test with its narrow, demanding layout. This agreement signifies that Monaco will continue to shine in the motorsports world until at least 2031, reaffirming its legendary status.
