Voting has reopened to award drivers power boosts at the Monaco race.

The Fanboost setting allows drivers to temporarily derestrict their car’s 150kW race mode, upping available power to 180kW for five seconds in each car. The additional power can be enough to make an overtake stick, or to defend a position. Drivers have been wary of using the feature in previous events, fearing that the additional power could overheat the sensitive powertrains or affect their energy management strategy.

Three drivers pick up the power boost. Bruno Senna and Jean-Eric Vergne have both enjoyed remarkable popularity, with four nominations in just six races for the Brazilian and four from four for the Frenchman.

The live leaderboard seems to suggest that the driver line-up is unchanged from Long Beach. Voting continues until shortly before the race itself.
