US EditionFormula 1: Pitstop Change Could Make Monaco a Crazy Race, Says Verstappen
- Formula One introduced a mandatory two-stop pit lane rule at the Monaco Grand Prix on May 22, 2025, at Circuit de Monaco.
- This rule change aims to energize a show slowed by difficult overtaking and processional racing at the tight, twisty Monaco circuit.
- Drivers and teams say the two-stop mandate complicates strategy, forcing gambles on timing and increasing chances of errors in the pits.
- Max Verstappen suggested that the introduction of a two-stop strategy could add unpredictability to the race by encouraging risky decisions about when to pit, while Alex Albon expressed uncertainty about how the new rules will affect the overall race dynamics.
- The new regulation could produce unpredictable outcomes and shake up race order, offering hope to those off pole but leaving results uncertain.
