Something substancial has to be done about the Monaco race. Pitstops are not fixing the issues. As it is, it's completely idiotic.
I’m convinced that there’s nothing that can redeem it. The only reason it’s still on the calendar is that the teams and FOM love going to Monaco (and all the oligarchs that are VIPs). It’s a terrible ~~race~~ parade and has been for many decades. They’ve tried so many things to spice it up and they’ve all failed miserably. Bottom line: it’s a week long party around the most boring F1 parade of the year.
The two pit stops “made it so unpredictable” according to people before the race, but how different was the finishing order from qualifying? It just made RB and Williams run 5-10 seconds off the pace for most of the parade. Epic fail.
My best idea to make it fun to watch is to put all the drivers in go karts. Don’t even bring F1 cars. They’re too big to facilitate any kind of overtaking. Instead of armco barriers, straw bales. But then it wouldn’t be F1 (just the drivers).
Make this the last Monaco race. I beg that every year. The only way to fix it is to take it off the calendar. Go back to Portugal, instead. That was a fun race to watch.
They keep it for the history, so bring it some historical cars. Make an event of it. Make it so the track has a track day 2 other times a year with cars the public can rent out and compare track times. Don't even have a race just do quali time trials and that's it.
Monaco historic GP is already a thing, and for obvious reasons can not be included in the world championship
Smaller cars is the only thing that would fix Monaco.
F2 showed that even that is not a guarantee. The track is not meant for 'racing'. The narrowness which makes it interesting during quali hinders it for the race
Formula E has had some bangers around here believe it or not, but maybe that's because of their gimmicks. I don't really follow FE but I've caught a couple of Monaco E-Prixes.
Cars were small 20-30 years ago and the racing at Monaco wasn't any better. You get outliers, but most of the time it is train of cars.
Next year they should make overtakes mandatory. If you don't overtake 2 cars you get DSQ'ed /s.
Do overtakes when someone's in the pit count?
