Formula One
and its rules go hand in hand. To ensure driver safety, reduce the risk of accidents, and keep fans entertained,
F1 regulations
play a crucial role during every Grand Prix. F1 has many rules covering areas such as tyre changes, grid positions, driver attire, fuel usage, and much more.
Among these, the pit-stop rule stands out as one of the most interesting in the Formula One circuit.
With the
Monaco Grand Prix
just around the corner, all eyes are on a new rule: all drivers must complete two pit stops during the race.
Two Pit Stop rule at
Monaco
Grand Prix
This rule has sparked mixed reactions in the F1 paddock. Some are pleased with the change, while others have raised concerns. The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the most iconic races on the Formula 1 calendar due to its rich history.
This year, it will witness the implementation of the two pit-stop rule—and it's mandatory.
F1 drivers will now be required to make at least two pit stops at the legendary Circuit de Monaco. Because overtaking is extremely difficult on the narrow streets of Monaco, F1 bosses have collectively decided to introduce this rule to add more strategy and excitement to the race.
Drivers will need to use at least three different sets of tyres during the Grand Prix.

F1 star Lando Norris slammed over 'sexist' comment implying women belong in kitchen; fans call out his 'performative feminism'
Lando Norris may have won the Hungarian Grand Prix, but the internet is calling him out over a recent sexist comment that has left even his own fans stunned. The F1 driver, who recently went public with his model girlfriend as the couple arrived together for the first time at the Hungarian Grand Prix, is now facing backlash online for an allegedly misogynistic remark. Scroll ahead to see what exactly went down. Lando Norris wins the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix Lando Norris took the win at the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix, held on August 3 at the Hungaroring circuit near Budapest. The McLaren driver delivered a stellar performance, holding off a strong late challenge from teammate Oscar Piastri, who finished just 0.698 seconds behind in second place. Mercedes' George Russell secured third after overtaking Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, who had started from pole but slipped to fourth by the end of the race. It marked a dominant showing for McLaren and a significant win for Norris in the 2025 season. LANDO NORRIS WINS THE HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX!!! 🤩#F1 #HungarianGP Lando Norris's misogynistic remarks leave the internet baffled During a recent Twitch stream hosted by British motorsports driver Max Fewtrell, Formula 1 star Lando Norris made a remark that many are calling out as misogynistic. While Max's girlfriend and her friend were seen in the kitchen during the live stream, Lando commented in the chat, 'they in the right part of the house tbh.' A screenshot of his message quickly went viral, sparking widespread backlash online. Although he made the remark with his private handle, undercoverbobinski, it didn't take fans long to find out it belonged to him. Many slammed the comment as outdated and sexist, with even some of Norris's fans expressing disappointment over his words. Fans are now slamming Norris, 25, online, with one writing, "lando norris talking about how women should be in the kitchen, brother, you are about to deliver a generational stinker so bad you'll be flipping burgers too by the end of it." lando norris talking about how women should be in the kitchen brother you are about to deliver a generational stinker so bad you'll be flipping burgers too by the end of it Another user wrote, "F1 twt acting surprised that Lando Norris is a misogynist that speaks about women like they're objects and refers to them as sex positions... c'mon now, his entire persona reeks of a performative feminist who will turn his back on you the second you stop benefitting him." F1 twt acting surprised that Lando Norris is a misogynistic pig that speaks about women like they're objects and refers to them as sex positions.. cmon now his entire persona reeks performative feminist who will turn his back on you the second you stop benefitting him Check out some more reactions below: hated lando before and I hate him even more now. fuck you and your misogynistic 'jokes.' the reason women still face so much misogyny and prejudice today are because of 'jokes' like those lando norris talking about women belonging in the kitchen when he's actually the one who should be in there bc he certainly can't cook in the sport he's been in for 7 years fucking twat Now wait a minuteIs this the "Lando Norris, victim of misogyny who has feminine energy" who just said: women belong in the kitchen? 🤡I wonder how his deranged fans are gonna make him the victim in this situation too 💀 seen lando be called out more for that joke in the last 20 minutes than i have for him dating a racist for the past 2 years but are we not going to speak on that? Lando has yet to respond to the public backlash, and many doubt he will address it at all. What's made the situation especially jarring for fans is that, over the years, he had earned a reputation as one of the more progressive, feminist-leaning drivers in F1—a label that now feels at odds with his recent comment.
