FIA plans mandatory double pit stops for Monaco Grand Prix

Motorsport's governing body, the FIA, announced plans to enhance the Monaco Grand Prix by mandating two pit stops during the race, a move aimed at making the event more dynamic given the challenges of overtaking on the narrow street circuit. The decision was made during a recent meeting where several regulatory changes for the 2025 season were discussed. Fans have expressed mixed reactions to the new pit stop requirement, with some viewing it as a positive step while others criticize it as a sign that the race has lost its excitement. The FIA also indicated that drivers will need to use all three tire compounds during the race, adding an extra challenge. Prominent figures, including Red Bull's team principal Christian Horner, acknowledged that the current car sizes contribute to the race's static nature, emphasizing the need for new regulations to improve the spectacle. Further discussions on these proposals will be held by the Sporting Advisory Committee in the coming weeks.
