F1 Proposes Mandatory Two Pit Stops for Monaco Grand Prix

The FIA aims to address processional racing on Monaco's narrow circuit by introducing new pit stop rules specific to the event.

  • The Formula 1 Commission has proposed requiring a minimum of two pit stops during the Monaco Grand Prix to improve racing dynamics.
  • Drivers would also need to use all three available dry-weather tire compounds during the race, with flexibility in wet conditions.
  • The proposal follows criticism of Monaco's lack of overtaking opportunities, exacerbated by the increasing size of modern F1 cars.
  • The changes are not finalized and will undergo further review by the Sporting Advisory Committee in the coming weeks.
  • Monaco's circuit layout remains unchanged due to logistical constraints, making these pit stop rules a unique solution for the historic race.
