‘Iconic’ Monaco GP renewed despite criticism

• Formula One has signed a four-year extension for the Monaco Grand Prix, securing its place on the calendar until 2035.
• This new agreement builds on a previous deal that ran until 2031, despite ongoing criticism regarding the race's lack of overtaking opportunities.
• Attempts to improve racing, such as introducing two mandatory pit stops this year, were largely circumvented by teams.
• From 2026, the Monaco Grand Prix will shift its traditional late May slot to June to facilitate geographical grouping with other races.
• The “iconic” race, which first featured on F1's inaugural calendar in 1950, will now extend its presence to 85 years with this latest contract.
