F1 to undergo qualifying rule change for 2026 season

Summary:

• Q1 and Q2 eliminations: The six slowest cars (up from five) are now eliminated due to the expanded grid.
• Q3 Duration: Extended from 12 to 13 minutes.
• Break between Q2 and Q3: reduced from 8 to 7 minutes.
• Monaco Grand Prix: The mandatory two-stop race rule introduced in 2025 has been scrapped as it failed to improve the spectacle of the race.
