Overview

• The FIA mandated a two-pitstop rule at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix to shake up strategy, but no overtakes occurred over 78 laps.
• Christian Horner and Toto Wolff called for layout alterations—such as extended braking zones—to create genuine passing opportunities.
• Wolff proposed Monaco-specific maximum back-off regulations to stop drivers from slowing deliberately to protect pit-stop windows.
• George Russell suggested replacing the race with two qualifying sessions to inject excitement, a format Martin Brundle dismissed as unworkable.
• With Monaco’s contract secured until 2031, focus shifts to 2026 regulations that will reduce car dimensions in hopes of easing overtaking.
