2026 Grand Prix
First Grand Prix on the calendar we store: 2016. These notes are for F1RaceDraft predictions — fan-made, not affiliated with the FIA or Formula 1. Length and lap counts come from our circuit file, not from live timing.
Overtaking
The main straight allows slipstream passes, but the castle section punishes mistakes.
Tyres
High-speed and low-speed corners in one lap — graining and temperature swings are common talking points.
DNF calls
Walls and the castle complex historically produce incidents. Safety cars are a live planning risk.
Fastest lap
A late stop can work if the car is still in the lead pack.
Podium
Do not copy a Monaco template. Race-pace and chaos both move P2/P3.
P1, P2 and P3 are three exact calls. A driver who only “podiums” in the wrong slot scores zero for that place. Use the layout notes above, then lock the card on the Grand Prix page.
What to do with the notes
Overtaking, tyres, retirements, fastest lap and the podium are separate calls on the six. Read them as circuit character, then lock the card on the Grand Prix page. The notes are not a predicted result.
