Monaco Grand Prix will remain on the Formula 1 calendar until at least 2035, following signing a four-year contract extension.
Monaco’s previous contract was carried out until 2031 following numerous systematic changes, with the iconic street racing expanding further to cover the next decade. The deal line up along both the Canadian and Madrid races and is scheduled to run until 2035, with only Bahrain (2036), Melbourne (2037), Miami and Austria (2041) in the longer trades.
“The streets of Monaco have been reverberating in Formula 1 since the early days of the sport, so we are pleased to announce this incredible extension of the event in 2035,” said F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali. “This is an iconic tribe loved by all drivers and fans, and has a unique atmosphere thanks to the most fascinating principality of the world. I would like to express my special thanks to his gentle Highness, Albert II of Monaco, Michel Beaulie, President of the Monaco Auto Club, and everyone involved in the long-term future of this historic partnership.”
Both Monaco and Formula 1 are essentially linked, with the races being held in 71 (Monza was only held after the venue). Prince Albert II says it is an event that is part of that identity.
“The renewal of the Monaco Grand Prix by 2035 is in line with the sport and historical traditions that the principality remains deeply attached to,” Prince Albert II said. “We can only welcome our collective success, excellence in our collaboration with Formula 1 and this new commitment, testament to the unique place that Monaco occupys the international motorsport landscape.”
A previous extension of Monaco moved race dates to early June, allowing Canada’s Grand Prix to increase the regionalization of the calendar from next year following Miami.
The expansion means that 16 of the current 24 venues have been confirmed in the 2030s, with other countries showing interest in new races in Thailand and South Africa taking part in the calendar.
