FIA Mandates Severe 200km/H Engine Power Cut To Prevent 2026 Monaco GP Crashes

The FIA has mandated a severe engine power cut of 200km/h for the 2026 Formula 1 season specifically to address safety concerns at the Monaco Grand Prix. The governing body took this unprecedented step due to the explosive torque generated by the new generation of hybrid power units, which posed a risk of cars launching into the Monte Carlo barriers at lethal speeds. This regulation targets the unique challenges posed by the tight street circuit in combination with the significantly more powerful 2026 F1 cars.
