F1: Monaco Grand Prix extended until 2031

The Monaco Grand Prix will remain on the Formula 1 calendar until 2035 after a contract extension was agreed on Friday, Afrosport reports.

The existing contract with the Automobile Club of Monaco ran until 2035 and this four year extension will ensure that one of F1’s most iconic races firmly remains on the calendar at a time when the future of a number of European races is uncertain.

The Monaco Grand Prix is considered one of motorsport’s most enduring races and has been a consistent event on the F1 calendar since 1950 when the sport was born.

“The streets of Monaco have been echoing with the sound of Formula 1 since the earliest days of the sport, so I’m delighted to announce the extension of this fantastic event to 2035,” F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali said per the F1 website.

“It is an iconic race that is loved by all drivers and fans, with a unique vibe thanks to its location on the world’s most glamorous Principality.

“I would like to say a special thank you to His Royal Serene Highness, Prince Albert II of Monaco, Michel Boeri, President of the Automobile Club of Monaco and everyone involved in securing the long-term future of this historic partnership.”

Meanwhile, Prince Albert II of Monaco, commented: “The renewal of the Monaco Grand Prix until 2035 is in keeping with a sporting and historical tradition to which the Principality remains deeply attached.

“I can only welcome this renewed commitment, which is testament to our collective success, the excellence of our collaboration with Formula 1, and the unique place that Monaco occupies in the international motorsport landscape.”


Late Brazilian legend Ayrton Senna is the most successful driver in Monaco with six wins, followed by Graham Hill and Michael Schumacher with five wins and Alain Prost with four.

Among the current drivers on the grid, Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton has three wins while Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen have two wins apiece.
