Formula 1 has confirmed a new multi-year agreement to keep the Monaco Grand Prix on its calendar until at least 2031. The deal, announced on November 14, 2024, includes a significant change in the race schedule; starting in 2026, the Monaco GP will be held on the first full weekend of June, moving away from its traditional late May slot. This adjustment will eliminate the clash with the Indy 500, allowing both events to take place without overlap. The agreement has been well-received, with various stakeholders expressing their enthusiasm for the continuation of this iconic race in Monaco, which has been a staple of the F1 calendar for decades.
