Monaco, the jewel of the French Riviera, has solidified its place on the Formula 1 calendar for years to come. The Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) and Formula One Group have officially announced a six-year extension of their contract, ensuring that one of the most glamorous and iconic races in motorsport will continue to captivate fans until 2031.
For many, the Monaco Grand Prix is more than just a race—it's a symbol of elegance, speed, and history. Created in 1929 and a staple of the FIA World Championship since 1950, this legendary street circuit has long been the crown jewel of Formula 1. With the new agreement, the Grand Prix is poised to celebrate its centennial in style, marking 100 years of adrenaline-pumping action in 2029.
Michel Boeri, President of the ACM, shared his enthusiasm: “The signing of this new agreement with the Formula One Group until 2031 confirms the strength of our relationship and reaffirms our commitment to offering visitors an unparalleled, first-class experience during race weekends.” His gratitude extended to Prince Albert II, Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali, and everyone involved in making this milestone possible.
A Shift in Dates
Fans can mark their calendars for the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, scheduled for May 23–25. However, from 2026 onwards, the race will take place during the first weekend of June each year, giving visitors a chance to bask in the early summer sun while soaking up the electrifying atmosphere of Monte-Carlo.
A Dream for Drivers
The Monaco Grand Prix has long been a coveted achievement for Formula 1 drivers. “The streets of Monte-Carlo are unique and form a celebrated part of Formula 1. The Monaco Grand Prix remains a race that every driver dreams of winning,” remarked Stefano Domenicali.
For hometown hero Charles Leclerc, this extension is another chance to shine on the streets he knows so well. With fans flocking from across the globe, the Principality’s allure as a glamorous playground for the elite remains unmatched.
