Drivers will operate under revised power deployment settings, with lower electrical energy allocations per lap in both qualifying and race conditions compared to other circuits on the calendar.
The weekend will also feature the absence of active aerodynamic zones, meaning drivers will not be able to use movable wings at any point around the lap.
Monaco’s layout, dominated by slow and medium-speed corners, means energy recovery remains high despite the lower speeds, with frequent heavy braking opportunities throughout the lap.
The changes highlight how Formula 1’s hybrid systems are adapted on a circuit-by-circuit basis, with energy management expected to play a key strategic role in the race.
