Monaco Grand Prix

After the Canadian Grand Prix, Formula 1 crosses the Atlantic to the iconic streets of Monte Carlo for the Monaco Grand Prix. The race marks the sixth round of the season and opens the European leg of the championship.

First held in 1929, the Monaco GP is unlike any other on the calendar, with its narrow streets, unforgiving barriers, and extreme precision requirements. Although the Circuit de Monaco is the slowest track of the year, it is also one of the most demanding.

From a logistical standpoint, Monaco is one of the most complex operations of the season. Space inside the principality is limited, so team trucks, support vehicles, and equipment zones must be coordinated outside the city and in surrounding areas. For the DHL Motorsports Team, precise timing is essential to keeping the tightly packed race weekend running smoothly.

After Monaco, Formula 1 stays in Europe and heads directly to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for the Spanish Grand Prix. This new sequence reflects the reshaped 2026 calendar, with Monaco now serving as the first European race of the season, before the championship continues across the continent in the summer.
