The FIA WMSC has approved the tyre strategy change for F1 Monaco GP in a meet held on Wednesday, as they also confirm all the 2025 calendars.
As was mooted during F1 Commission, the FIA WMSC has approved the change in tyre strategy for Monaco GP where they will have to pit twice whether in dry and or wet conditions. The drivers will have to use three sets of tyres, where they will have to use two different compounds in dry conditions.
“The WMSC reviewed a proposal regarding the implementation of a mandatory 2-stop strategy (in both wet and dry conditions) for the Monaco GP, with the primary intent of improving the sporting spectacle of this race,” said the note from the FIA.
“Following recent discussions in the F1 Commission, a specific requirement for the Monaco GP has been approved mandating the use of at least three sets of tyres in the race, with a minimum of two different tyre compounds to be used if it’s a dry race.”
In addition to the F1 changes, the FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem noted about ‘Vision 2030’ strategy to enhance accessibility, innovation and sustainability. Keeping in the mind spirit of competition, the governing body has set out certain pillars which they wish to achieve by 2030.
Approved by the WMSC members, the FIA’s Vision 2030 sets out the strategy for motorsport across the next five years, delivering a dynamic roadmap to advance accessibility, innovation, and sustainability, whilst preserving the spirit of competition. With the empowerment of motorsport, Member Clubs, and sporting stakeholders front of mind, the strategy has been developed under the supervision of Secretary General for Sport Valerio Iachizzi, and is designed to be adaptable to global changes, evolving technologies, and the input of the global motorsport community. Structured around five key pillars, Vision 2030 is designed to work cohesively to meet the evolving demands of motorsport.
- Global accessibility, diversity, and inclusion: opening doors and breaking down barriers, bringing motorsport to every corner of the world.
- Innovation, technology, advancement and education: pushing the limits of what’s possible while leading the charge in creating a smarter, cleaner, and more efficient future.
- Sustainability and environmental leadership: reducing our footprint and leading by example. Motorsport as a force for positive change.
- Financial growth and reinvestment: ensuring the future of motorsport for tomorrow.
- Strengthening the FIA brand: creating powerful, lasting connections.
This strategy will drive growth and relevancy, ensuring motorsport remains a global leader in entertainment, innovation, accessibility, and sustainability for future generations. Alongside the pillars, Vision 2030 sets seven key objectives for the FIA over the next five years:
- Expand global accessibility and reach
- Advance innovation and technology within motorsport
- Promote environmental sustainability across all FIA activities and areas
- Enhance educations, diversity and inclusion within the motorsport community
- Ensure long-term financial sustainability, growth and reinvestment
