Monaco Grand Prix has decided to change its format to give more flexibility to the racers. Monaco used to follow a four-day format unlike the other racing events which follows a three-day racing format, but this is going to change from 2022. Monaco will follow in the line of other racing formats and will hold the event for 3 days. Earlier, the format would allow Friday to be a free day for all the participating parties and Thursday was the practice day. Thursday night used to be a part-night, with music and food on the boats in the famous harbour. Friday would be the day the parties would work on their hangovers and get back to the track for the racing event during the weekends.

Kyalami used to be a part of the Grand Prix until he backed out of it in 1993 and hasn’t taken it apart ever since. Stefano has not shared any more details about these countries return to schedule due to matters of confidentiality.
