The FIA has decided against using active aerodynamics at the Monaco Grand Prix due to safety concerns. The race will run with fixed aerodynamic surfaces and no DRS option.
The decision means teams cannot activate straight mode on the 2026 cars during the event. Officials cited risks of excessive speeds at the Tunnel exit where run-off areas are limited. This marks a significant shift from recent seasons where DRS was available.
