FIA limits F1 cars top speed at Monaco GP with new engine maps

30 Mwezi wa tano, 2026

The FIA has introduced new engine mapping rules to cap top speeds during the Monaco Grand Prix. Active aerodynamics will also be disabled for the entire lap. The measures aim to enhance safety on the tight street circuit.

The changes include a specific engine mapping called Rev1 for the Monaco race. Under this map, cars will deliver 350kW only up to 200km/h before power is clipped sharply, reaching around 100kW at 270km/h and zero at 300km/h. This replaces the standard curve that maintains higher power until 290km/h.
