Formula 1 has made an official announcement regarding the future of the Monaco Grand Prix, with a huge change set to be made. Set against a lavish backdrop of luxury yachts and hotels, the Monaco GP is one of the most recognisable and iconic events on the F1 calendar and had its place on the schedule of the first official F1 season back in 1950.

Formula One’s most iconic race, the Monaco Grand Prix, will be staged in June from 2026 as part of a new six-year agreement to remain on the calendar.

The move would also end what has become a "greatest (if not longest) day of racing" in the U.S. where the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, Indianapolis 400 and NASCAR Coke 600 from Charlotte traditionally run back-to-back-to-back the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.
