The FIA&#39s latest stunt: at least two pit stops at Monte Carlo

The first session of the FIA Council of 2025 with the members of the WSMC was held today by videoconference and the most important decision that was made concerns the Monaco Grand Prix at the Monte Carlo circuit.

È in fact, it has been decided that yes each driver will have to make at least two pit stops over the entire race. Not only that, each will have to use all three compounds available for that weekend.

All with the usual, cloying justification that is given every time these “innovations” are introduced: to increase the spectacle during the race.

According to the FIA then, in a race where it è very difficult to overtake, if not impossible (at least for today’s cars), pit stops would liven it up. We’ll see if it really will be soè.
