Overview

  • F1 and the Automobile Club de Monaco signed a new four-year add-on to a 2024 renewal, with Stefano Domenicali, Prince Albert II and ACM president Michel Boeri welcoming the agreement.
  • From 2026, Monaco moves to the first weekend of June to avoid a clash with the Indianapolis 500, effectively swapping dates with the Canadian Grand Prix.
  • The mandatory two-stop requirement introduced for 2025 will remain in the 2026 sporting regulations, after mixed results and team tactics that reduced its intended effect.
  • It is Monaco’s second extension in less than a year, underscoring F1’s strategy of long-term contracts for cornerstone events on the calendar.
  • Reports indicate the earlier deal included higher sanctioning fees and other concessions, aligning with F1’s firmer commercial terms for flagship races.
