What tyres will the teams and drivers have for the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix?

Formula 1’s triple header sequence continues this weekend as drivers and teams head to Monte Carlo for the Monaco Grand Prix – and Pirelli have confirmed the tyres that will be used at the famous venue.

The Italian company have again chosen the softest trio of compounds in their range to take on the classic, 19-turn circuit, naming the new C6 as the soft, the C5 as the medium and the C4 as the hard.

Drivers will get two sets of the hard tyre (marked white), three sets of the medium tyre (marked yellow), and eight sets of the soft tyre (marked red), as well as access to the green intermediate tyre and the blue full wets, should they be required. An extra set of softs is reserved for those who reach Q3 in Qualifying.

However, as Pirelli point to in their event preview, an important change to the regulations has been pushed through for this year’s race, with two pit stops per driver being mandatory in a bid to add some excitement.

As per the modified Sporting Regulations, each driver must use at least three different sets of tyres (either dry or wet) during the race. If the race is held in dry conditions and drivers do not use intermediate or wet tyres, they must still run at least two different slick tyre compounds across their various stints.

“As part of this rule change, each driver will also be allocated an additional set of full wets, on top of the usual two, so that the two-stop rule can be applied even if conditions require the use of extreme wet tyres,” explain Pirelli’s notes.

“It will be interesting to see how this affects teams’ race strategies. For example, with no clear pit stop windows, it could present opportunities for drivers starting from further back to move up the order by making the most of running in clean air.

“Having two stops should also rule out concerns about tyre degradation, even if it is in any case very low at this track. It could even lead to the use of the soft compound, especially for those making a late second stop or in the case of a Safety Car period in the closing stages.”
