help Formula E Monaco E-Prix FAQ
Does the Formula E Monaco E-Prix use the exact same track as Formula 1?
Since 2022, Formula E uses the full, iconic Formula 1 circuit layout for the Monaco E-Prix, complete with the famous tunnel and Swimming Pool complex. Previously, the series used a shorter, modified version of the track that omitted sections like the casino hairpin.
Which driver has won the Monaco E-Prix the most times?
Sébastien Buemi is the only driver to win the Monaco E-Prix multiple times, taking victory in the inaugural 2015 race and again in 2017. His success in the early seasons of the championship cemented him as a master of the electric street circuit.
Do Formula E drivers still swap cars halfway through the Monaco E-Prix?
No, the mid-race car swaps used in the first generation of Formula E were abolished by the FIA in 2018. Thanks to massive improvements in battery density, the modern Gen3 cars can easily complete the entire 45-minute race on a single charge.
How does Attack Mode work during the Monaco E-Prix?
Attack Mode gives drivers a temporary boost of extra power that they can activate by driving through a designated zone off the racing line. To use it, they must arm the system in the activation zone, giving up track position for a short burst of increased horsepower.
