The Monaco Grand Prix will remain part of the Formula 1 calendar for another six years after a new contract was signed. Discussions about safety aspects and the track layout had previously caused uncertainty.

The Monaco Grand Prix will remain a permanent fixture on the Formula 1 calendar. The local organizers have reached an agreement with those responsible for the racing series to extend the contract until 2031. This decision puts an end to speculation about the future of the prestigious race in the Principality.

In recent years, there have been repeated discussions about safety and the particular challenges of the narrow street circuit. The circuit in Monaco is known for its limited overtaking opportunities, which has led to concerns about the quality of the racing. Despite these challenges, the Monaco Grand Prix remains a highlight on the racing calendar.

The agreement to extend the contract demonstrates the continued interest and importance of the race for both Formula 1 and the Principality of Monaco. The organizers are committed to making the necessary adjustments to meet the high safety standards and improve the racing experience for drivers and spectators.
