And finally, for Monaco the FIA have introduced a lower speed limit for battery power

Previously the battery could be deployed at full power up to 290 kph where it starts to taper off, but for Monaco that has been reduced to 200 kph

[Alex Gillon @Alex_Gillon]

So after an anxious wait of over 30 minutes, Otis Lawrence was crowned F1 Sim Racing Champion 2026 by just 2 points in one of the most dramatic finale's ever

In addition, Red Bull were crowned team champions for the 2nd time in a row by just 3 points over Alpine
