Formula 1 Extends Monaco Grand Prix Contract Until 2035

Formula 1 has extended its contract with the Monaco Grand Prix until the end of the 2035 season, securing the future of one of the sport's most iconic and glamorous races. The Monaco Grand Prix, held on the narrow and twisty streets of Monte Carlo, has been part of the F1 World Championship since 1950 and is renowned for its unique challenges and historical significance. Despite concerns over the circuit's suitability for modern, wider cars and difficulties with overtaking, the race remains a favorite among drivers and fans alike, praised for its atmosphere and prestige. Recent efforts to increase racing excitement, such as mandatory multiple pit stops, have had limited success due to the track's tight layout. The extension follows a previous contract renewal signed less than a year ago for a term lasting until 2031. Monaco's continued presence on the calendar reflects strong collaboration among F1 leadership, the Automobile Club of Monaco, and Prince Albert II, emphasizing the race's deep cultural and sporting importance.
