The schedule for the 2026 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix

It's one of the major events of the motorsport season worldwide. The Monaco Grand Prix of Formula 1 It marks both the start of the European season for drivers and teams, but also the entry into a world that has nothing to do with the rest of the calendar. Narrow streets, extremely close walls, a difficult race, and qualifying sessions eagerly awaited by all – the Principality is preparing to host the spectacle.

Just two weeks after the Canadian Grand Prix, which notably saw Kimi Antonelli extend his lead over George Russell, Monaco could well see the pecking order reshuffled. Although Mercedes Benz While still expected to be among the best, the power output of the German engine won't be the primary factor in success this weekend. Indeed, unlike almost every other track this year, energy recharging will exceed the energy required to activate the various boost modes. Given the number of braking zones and slow corners on the Monaco circuit, chassis quality could well prevail, in addition to the driver's skill, of course.

As a result of all these changes, the main decision made prior to the Monaco Grand Prix concerns the removal of active aerodynamics. Since no area meets the criteria set by the FIA ​​when they were introduced, drivers will be able to activate overtaking mode, but will not benefit from wing movements, in order to prevent excessive top speed, particularly when exiting the tunnel. Under these conditions, McLaren, Classic Ferrari for sale, Or Red Bull Can they go and put an end to Mercedes' hegemony?
