FIA pushes for more pit stops to enhance racing at Monaco Grand Prix

In Monaco, the FIA announced new regulations aimed at improving the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, scheduled for May 23-25. These regulations follow increasing concerns about the lack of overtaking opportunities during the race. Notably, the 2024 race was criticized by drivers, including Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who described it as boring because the top-10 positions remained unchanged throughout the event. Following a meeting of the F1 Commission in London, the decision was made to increase the mandatory number of pit stops for drivers from one to a higher number, although details are still forthcoming. This change aims to encourage more competitive racing and enhance the excitement for fans. The upcoming adjustments will be further deliberated by the Sporting Advisory Committee in the weeks leading up to the event, hoping to find workable solutions that will facilitate overtaking and lead to a more dynamic race. Drivers, including Lewis Hamilton, had previously remarked on the slow pace and non-eventful nature of the Monaco Grand Prix, emphasizing the need for a better racing experience for both competitors and spectators alike.
