The 2026 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix may see more overtaking than usual due to new car designs and engine technology. The race is known for being hard to pass other cars, but changes like the "overtake mode" could allow more battles on the narrow city track.
Key Facts
The 2025 Monaco Grand Prix had only four overtakes in a 78-lap race.
Monaco is famous for difficult overtaking because of its narrow streets and tight corners.
The 2026 F1 cars are 10 cm narrower and slightly shorter but still wider than cars from 20 years ago.
New engines use a mix of internal combustion and electric power in a 50-50 split.
"Overtake mode" gives a driver close behind extra electrical energy to boost speed and try to pass.
Drivers experience "yo-yo racing" where cars frequently pass each other back and forth using overtake mode.
Whether overtaking will improve in Monaco depends partly on tire wear and grip during the race.
The full effect of overtake mode on Monaco racing remains uncertain until the race happens.
