There have been some changes to the route compared to last year. The walls at the exit of the Virage Senna and between curve three and the Pont de la Concorde have been renewed, and new safety fences have been erected. The route boundary on the exit of turn three has also been redesigned so that the run-off area has been enlarged, and it is now easier for the sports attendant to recover vehicles. In the run-out zone of the Pits Hairpin , the boundary of the route has also been redesigned in order to be able to better protect rescue vehicles, and the boundary in turn 14 has also been redesigned. In addition, the tire stacks in the corners Virage Senna , corner four , Pont de la Concorde , Pits Hairpin and in the finish chicane were replaced by TecPro barriers.
There was an additional, third DRS zone compared to the previous year . The measuring point was 15 meters behind curve five , the system can then be activated 95 meters after curve seven .

The third zone was on the start-finish straight and began 70 meters after the last corner. There was only one measuring point for these two DRS zones, so that in the event of a successful overtaking maneuver in the first zone, the driver ahead could use the DRS again in the second zone.
