Formula 1’s iconic Monaco Grand Prix will remain on the calendar until at least 2031 after a six-year extension was announced on Thursday with a date change to June that also avoids future clashes with the Indianapolis 500.
Racing through the streets of Monte Carlo was part of the first world championship season in 1950 and has been present since 1950, with the exception of 2020, during the global pandemic.
Formula 1 has said the race will take place on the first full weekend in June starting in 2026, moving the date from the end of May which also historically coincides with Indianapolis.
“I am very happy that Formula 1 will continue in Monaco until 2031,” Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali said in a statement.
“The streets of Monte Carlo are unique and a famous part of Formula 1, and the Monaco Grand Prix remains a race that every driver dreams of winning.”
“This agreement marks a new era of partnership and innovation between Formula 1 and Monaco,” he added.
