F1 News: Huge Changes Coming To Monaco Grand Prix That Fans Will Love

Formula 1 takes charge of television coverage for the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix, bidding farewell to the previous local hosts.

Formula 1 is set to revolutionise the television coverage of the Monaco Grand Prix this year by taking control of the broadcasting aspects, according to insider reports. In previous years, the event was covered by the local station, Tele Monte Carlo. However, this significant change will see F1 assume responsibility for producing the World Feed and overseeing the overall broadcast of the race, which will be the first time in the country.

The transition from local production to Formula 1's in-house control has been a gradual process, with the Japanese Grand Prix being one of the final races to relinquish local control in 2011. Since then, Formula 1 has steadily centralised the production of the World Feed, resulting in improved broadcasting quality and a more consistent viewing experience for fans across all race weekends.

While Formula 1's move to take control of television coverage began in the early 2000s, Monaco has remained an exception over the past decade. In recent years, fans have voiced their dissatisfaction with the broadcast feed provided by Tele Monte Carlo during the Grand Prix. Instances like the interruption of a thrilling battle between Sebastian Vettel and Pierre Gasly during the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix have raised concerns about the quality of the coverage.

Viewers can expect new and revised camera angles that showcase the speed and excitement of the cars, alongside the iconic perspectives that have become synonymous with the Monaco race. 

As Formula 1 takes charge of the television coverage for the Monaco Grand Prix, the move represents another stride towards their long-term goal of producing the World Feed for all races in a season. By exerting greater control over the broadcast aspects, Formula 1 aims to provide fans with an immersive and thrilling viewing experience, capturing the essence of the Monaco race in all its glory.
