The 3.337-kilometer Circuit de Monaco features famous sections like the Grand Hotel Hairpin and La Rascasse, making it a tough track for overtaking. However, Formula E has defied this reputation, with 197 overtakes recorded in 2024. This season, the Saturday race introduces the Pit Boost, adding strategy to the mix, while Sunday’s race could see a peloton-style battle.
Driver Oliver Rowland has been a standout, securing three podiums in five races. He emphasized the track’s prestige: “Competing at Monaco is very special.” Meanwhile, Norman Nato, racing at his home event, builds on his Miami pole position, despite a penalty there dropping him to sixth. “Monaco holds amazing memories for me,” he said.
Team principal Tommaso Volpe highlighted the stakes: “There’s extra motivation to win at such an iconic venue.” With limited prep time between sessions, Nissan’s preparation will be key. The team is poised to fight for victory and solidify their lead.
