FIA removes active aerodynamics for Monaco Grand Prix
Summary

The FIA has decided that active aerodynamics will not be utilized during the Monaco Grand Prix due to safety concerns. This decision stems from fears that cars could reach dangerous speeds exiting the Tunnel, where limited run-off areas exist. As a result, the upcoming race will proceed with fixed settings, removing a key feature expected with the 2026 Formula 1 cars. Teams and drivers will adapt to this change ahead of the event scheduled for May 28, 2023.
