Pirelli has revealed the tyre compounds for the upcoming 2026 Monaco Grand Prix as Formula 1 teams prepare for the sixth race of the season. Teams will use C3, C4, and C5 tyres, the softest compounds available, with specific allowances for different conditions during the race. Drivers will receive two sets of hard tyres, three sets of mediums, and eight sets of softs, plus intermediate and wet options. An extra set of softs is reserved for those reaching Q3 in qualifying. Given Monaco's unique circuit characteristics, the low level of tyre degradation typically results in a one-stop race unless external factors intervene.
