FIA Introduces Mandatory Two-Pit Stop Rule for Monaco Grand Prix

The new rule aims to improve overtaking opportunities and enhance the race's competitive appeal on Monaco's notoriously narrow circuit.

The FIA has mandated a minimum of two pit stops for the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, requiring drivers to use at least three sets of tires during the race.
The rule change was approved by the FIA World Motor Sport Council following discussions in the F1 Commission to address overtaking challenges on Monaco's tight streets.
Drivers must use at least two different tire compounds in dry conditions to comply with the updated regulations.
The decision comes after criticism of recent Monaco races, where overtaking has been nearly impossible and race outcomes were largely determined by qualifying positions.
The 2025 Monaco Grand Prix is scheduled for May 23-25, with the new rule intended to add strategic complexity and excitement to the event.
