About time, having to use all three compounds during the 2 stops should liven up the dullest GP on the calendar a little.Could F1 be changing the rules for the Monaco Grand Prix?
Formula 1 is to try to spice up the Monaco Grand Prix by forcing drivers to make at least two pit stops. Criticism has been growing in recent years that the historic race has become pedestrian, because overtaking is close to impossible on the tight street circuit in the Mediterranean principality.

Thats assuming Lewis is faster than Charles and the RB is fully competitive again. I wouldnt mind some of the spice being with different drivers too.And no matter what you think of Hamilton, you cannot be excited by the thought of Max battling Hamilton in a Ferrari, could be some serious fire works on & off the track.
Hamilton’s a 7 times world champion. He’s seriously fast. He’s the only driver who’s been able to put up a fight against Verstappen. Just need to give him a fast car.Thats assuming Lewis is faster than Charles and the RB is fully competitive again. I wouldnt mind some of the spice being with different drivers too.
Aye but George still went toe to toe with him. And yes Lewis may have played around with more setup differences than him but that doesn't explain everything.Hamilton’s a 7 times world champion.

No one’s really gone too different from last year.
Yeah the only cool one really is Visa Cash app. They basically took the Turkey (technically for Japan) RB livery and made it permanent.No one’s really gone too different from last year.
I must say I love that red on the Ferrari. Although the white bit ruins it a little. Would look even sleeker if that bit was black.
The sport is gone and has been now for a while.Looking forward to all of F1 coverage this season being at least 50% more brain rot.
Any bets on Ferrari fecking things up all over again.
Yeah I do agree Haas is a dark horse. They've made some very notable advancements last season and it seems they finally are starting to have the backing and structure required to be a perennial player. With Haas being "America' team" as they call themselves and Cadillac and Ford entering the grid there will be a lot more American influences soon. Liberty having been step 1.Watch out if Toyota start throwing serious money at HAAS. Their racing development has changed in the past 10 years and gazoo racing is a serious operation. Pretty much dominating most series they enter into.

What do you think of the Duracel on the Williams?![]()
Stand out one for me is Alpine's.
I like that also.What do you think of the Duracel on the Williams?
Iconic livery.They should be allowed to put the Marlboro livery back on the McLaren.
Feck Audi, get Lotus back in F1Iconic livery.
IMHO Senna's JPS was better, black with gold lettering was epic.

Feck both, get Jordan back with their yellow snake livery.Feck Audi, get Lotus back in F1
General consensus amongst the teams is that it could be an epic season, a general consensus that the field is very very close in the final season of these regulations.
For next season I suspect Merc will start with a big advantage in terms of the new engines, and RB will suffer. So don’t be surprised to see Verstappen driving a Merc engine car in 2026, either Aston Martin or Mercedes.I really really hope that's true
It'll be so frustrating to finally get the close racing everyone is desperate for (that we did see a fair amount of last season too)
Only for rule changes next season and someone will probably nail it and win by 30 seconds every time. Shame they can't reverse the rule change/delay for a season if we do get a really close field this season
