If the renewal of the contract for the Monaco Grand Prix was in little doubt, no one imagined that this, announced this Thursday, would see the protection of the Monegasque event until 2031. That is to say a six-season contract from of 2026, with a profound modification: the race will take place the first weekend of June, and no longer at the end of May, from 2026. Which would therefore exclude the Monaco GP from the turnover of European races strongly envisaged by Stefano Domenicali , the boss of F1.
