Summary:

  • Q1 and Q2 eliminations: The six slowest cars (up from five) are now eliminated due to the expanded grid.
  • Q3 Duration: Extended from 12 to 13 minutes.
  • Break between Q2 and Q3: reduced from 8 to 7 minutes.
  • Monaco Grand Prix: The mandatory two-stop race rule introduced in 2025 has been scrapped as it failed to improve the spectacle of the race.

I think we need a “Monaco spec” car that’s basically a souped up go kart with aero if they insist on keeping on the calendar. Points don’t count to the championship.

That's what I've been suggesting for years. They claim it's all about the history, fine put them all in historical cars.

Or better yet put them in cars accessible to the public. Then the public can time trial it at some later time in a public event and compare themselves to f1 drivers.
