The FIA confirmed earlier this week that for the first time in Formula 1 history, teams will be required to make at least two pit stops during the Monaco Grand Prix, using a minimum of three different sets of tyres, and at least two different dry tyre compounds if conditions stay dry.
“The FIA World Motor Sport Council has approved a specific requirement for the Monaco GP mandating the use of at least three sets of tyres in the race, with a minimum of two different compounds used if it is dry,” the governing body said. “The intent is to enhance the sporting spectacle given the notable difficulty in overtaking at this circuit.”
