Updated regulations from the FIA show a slight qualifying format change this year.

Summary:

  • Q1 and Q2 eliminations: The six slowest cars (up from five) are now eliminated due to the expanded grid.
  • Q3 Duration: Extended from 12 to 13 minutes.
  • Break between Q2 and Q3: reduced from 8 to 7 minutes.
  • Monaco Grand Prix: The mandatory two-stop race rule introduced in 2025 has been scrapped as it failed to improve the spectacle of the race.

    To be honest, I doubt it will make a difference. Drivers have been complaining for at least 40 years that Monaco is a track impossible to overtake on. I would be happy to be wrong, though.
