The Monaco Grand Prix will remain on the Formula 1 calendar until at least 2031, following a new six-year contract with the Automobile Club of Monaco. This agreement secures the race's future amid concerns about its viability due to modern car sizes. Despite recent criticism of the race's excitement level, it remains popular, especially among U.S. fans. The 2024 Monaco race weekend was the third most-viewed F1 event in the U.S., highlighting its continued appeal. While Monaco is safe for now, other European races face uncertainty. Events in Barcelona, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, and Emilia Romagna lack contracts beyond 2025, raising the possibility of rotation to accommodate new races in lucrative markets.
