Summary

Monaco’s Grand Prix gets a tech overhaul this year as active aerodynamics go completely off for the race—safety first, given insane speeds from the MGU-K boost. Cars will hit nearly 300 km/h on the pit straight, making braking zones too risky with adjustable wings. Zones must be at least three seconds long to justify use, but now it’s deemed too dangerous. Plus, Monaco gets a special “Rev1” engine map that throttles electric power earlier—full boost only up to 200 km/h, then tapers off sharply, even in overtake mode. All to tame the speed demons on Monaco’s tight, bumpy streets. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
