DEMANDS For CHANGE After SHOCKING Race With Monaco AT RISK!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Iconic? Obviously. Historic? Of course. A good F1 race? Absolutely not. A completely processional Grand Prix around the streets of Monaco has once again brought to the fore the issue of modern F1 cars being completely unsuited for the streets of the principality. The race might be F1’s showpiece but Formula One has outgrown the circuit and watching 78 laps of the top 10 cars following each other around the two mile circuit, seeing who can drive the slowest, is not the product that the sport wants to be showing. With the sport almost ditching the historic venue two years ago, could this season's race have been the final nail in the coffin? Or can anything be done to reignite the excitement of racing in the city and save Formula One’s most famous race?

Worst circuit to watch a F-1 race. Qualifying is the race.
I'd still prefer it over Vegas or Miami tbh. But yeah Monaco needs work.
false. Qualifying shows your pace, the race will still depend on durability, car reliability, pit stops, and driver's skills.
@@Murderdrone-b3x Charles isn't saying all tracks are just about qualifying. He's just saying that it's only Monaco is only a qualifying track and not suited for races.
@@Murderdrone-b3xthere is no race at Monaco.
Cry cry cry. What a baby. F1 used to be too cool for social media. Ever since Hamilton started they started changing all the rules for him and ignoring his cheating and the cheating of Red Bull and Mercedes. That's where it went wrong. Now all the stupid rules aren't work the answer is more stupid rules.
So glad I stopped watching it years ago. Immature snowflakes.
The bigger problem is this could be said about 85% of the tracks on the schedule.
Monaco is iconic and historic, but it is not a car race. It is a qualifying race. If you can’t pass you can’t really called it a car race.
More a train ride😂
If they did kart racing then it would be another matter.
Agreed!
They need to widen the track in places to allow for over take then it would be a race
@@neilwoodbridge8232yes that’s all, it’s not that hard
I’d put the drivers in super karts for Monaco, it would make the track into one with many overtaking opportunities, it would give the fans something different to watch and reserve drivers could be allowed to race.
And F2 drivers can easily beat F1 drivers on a super cart
@@camilo8cheryl It would be quite an open race I’m sure as most formula drivers have come through karting.
Im with you! I believe Monaco can have their own chassis rules. Monaco is best with smaller cars like the host and you said.
Watching F1 stars in large would be hilarious.
In Australia there were a number of Australian GPs in the early 1980s where,they were running Formula Pacific (equivalent to F3 I think) which attracted Proxy and Laura amongst others. Roberto Moreno won a number of,them over the years.
That's a great idea!
No one would care if the cars were smaller and slower. People just want to see racing.
I'm more surprised at how the F1 youtube channel was able to find EIGHT minutes of 'highlights' for a video
The problem is, the cars are far too large and heavy.
I think Monaco should not be a grand prix but should be retained as a special event. I think it would be interesting as a time trial event or something with historical cars. Monaco only has the history, tradition and glitz to sell itself so why not just lean completely into that and ditch any pretence that there will be racing there?
it should be like the ALL-star game in some sports... maybe bring legends to drive a stock car. make it a celebration. maybe half-way in the calendar as a holiday and celebration of the sport. maybe drivers change every 5-10 laps. have fun with it with zero consequences.
Indeed just make it a celebration weekend of motorsport legends and cars...
I say it all the times: should be a time-trial.
Then would be the more exciting race on calendar.
Or even turn it into the hall of fame week. Add events. Like fastest sector just make it fun
I was going to suggest they run a certain year, or period car, but the cars are irreplaceable. Aren't the F2 cars smaller? Use one-off current year F2s, doesn't even have to be a points race. They'll be cheaper, too.
Monaco is a F1 parade disguised as a race
For sure!!
I was so tense though to be fair
As If Binnotto was still in charge they’d have split the cars for sure and probably bought Charles in 😂
But yeah I think every on was watching max but again the delta needs to be like 4/5 seconds to pass some one?
They need fuel and a minimum pit stop … on every race really … that way there’s no more managing tyres and fuel which is killing f1
Well said. Pozdro666
Make it a Goodwood FOS style event, classic F1 cars driven by the current drivers, V8's, V10's, V12's, historical suits for the drivers and teams, make it a celebratory event, it would be so much more interesting!
Love that idea.
Yes! Pozdro666
But in Monaco the delicious crumpets will go down on you in a second just because you are rich! The parties are unbeatable.
GFOS is mega, but for very different reasons. 🤔
Remove that chicane to begin with. That will be one place where overtakes would be possible.
I saw someone comment on another video it wouldn't be FIA compliant with those spreds and no run off.
Fell asleep half way watching the race...
I fell asleep on the sofa after lap 10, woke up with about 15 laps to go and ... nothing was changed nor did it change until the end.
Yeah... That was a first for me in 30+ years of watching f1
Same boat, always fell asleep during dry race at monaco..got bore and watched Motogp in Spain and it was a fantastic nail bitting race..MotoGp still doesn’t dissappint👍
How the hell did you last that long 😂😂😂
Around lap 5... Zzzzzzzz, and woke up towards the end, when itty bitty things happened...
They should put the drivers on karts for this race, and let them beat each other
I really this idea. Bring everyone back to their roots
Watch the F2 race there. Plenty of action
If this circuit was in the back streets of an industrial area, it would have been done away with years ago. Its a social vanity circuit
Like Miami in a carpark?
(For Monaco only):
*No wings.*
*Softest tires.*
*Tires half the present width.*
*Reduced turbo boost.*
*Reduced maximum battery power.*
*Indycar style Push to Pass system, three minutes total for short bursts of full engine and electric power output.*
With no wings, you could shorten or delete the nose cone, the cars would be several feet shorter. Half-width tires would make the cars at least a foot narrower. Softest tires would require lots of pit stops and strategic opportunities. Managing the PtP system would require crucial strategy options. There would be no structural changes required to the cars except new floor designs, just different wheels and tires for this race only.
It _might_ almost make the race worth watching again.
I believe the nose cone is a crumple zone for the crash structure, but even with no wings it would be way less cumbersome. It might be riskier for launching cars off tire to tire with the wings gone as well but hard to say.
I say do it anyway but the first accident with injuries and everyone would blame the changes.
It's not just about Monaco. Every single decision made to improve F1 since 2013 has just incrementally destroyed the sport. There are absolutely no races that are exciting without some form of artificial interference (Pace Car or the ridiculous DRS)
F1 cars are too big, too complex, too reliable, too quiet.
Agreed. Been watching since the 80's, this is a dull time for F1.
F1: I don't bother to turn it on any more. Too much money, any innovation is immediately copied, too precious and remote. Anyone else see the pre WW1 race at the Goodwood Members Meeting? Absolutely bonkers and could watch those nutters all day, they raced!
Can Am cars absolutely ruled for innovation and no holes barred racing.
The configuration of the sport is the problem. If a dull strategy is optimal, it's not the track that's at fault. It's that a dull strategy is optimum with the current rules.
This isn’t the only track that is boring. I believe 100% that all races should mandate at least 2 stops and using all 3 tire compounds.
I agree.
Monaco should be viewed like the final stage of the Tour de France
Yes make it the last race in championship order
The real question is why did they implement big cars?
F1 cars were smaller and quite agile once a time
Alot is to do with safety. Crumple zone sizes for impact for the speeds they travel at now. Look at what was left of Checos car after impact they need to be that size to protect driver, And aero comes into play. Track is just outdated for modern cars. Smaller cars were much more fun to watch and over takes.
I think the size of the cars is related to security
Crash protection and having the gubbins that goes with a hybrid engine (Battery, extra cooling etc).
Safety, and performance. A wider stance give the cars better turning. Modern cars are not built for monaco they are build for proper race circuits.
@@earthboundsculptures I have no doubts the cars can be smaller without compromise safety. Compromise speed instead.
You could allow cars to go straight through the chicane after the tunnel a maximum 5 times during the race without having to give the place back.
Great idea! Older track layouts had that. The issue would come when the driver who takes Nouvelle chicane decides to close the door cos he "didn't see" the other driver cutting the chicane. Could lead to a huge crash!
I think that chicane didn't exist in the original tracks. I've been watching F1 with 40 years but Monaco was always a boring track to me.
The back road after the chicane could be a mandatory joker section like in rallycross, and rejoin further down
just ditch it all together
Larger diameter, narrower rims for ALL races. The current formula makes cars too stable and predictable in the bends.
also for all races... if the race is restarted without a full lap completed, that doesn't constitute a compound usage
Or just ban changing tires under red flag conditions, which should have been the rule all along. The amount of times that a red flag has ruined a race because everyone got to just change tires instead of having to pit...
@@bipolarminddroppings they should leave the ability to change tyres (of the same type maybe) in case someone picks up debris from an accident so they can join the restart, but it just shouldn't count towards the compulsory stop. They should have to stop again under race conditions.
Monaco should be a sort of “festival” and no longer a f1 race. Have historic cars going round the circuit driven by current/past drivers. Have it a bit like goodwood. Even have celebrity drivers too.
quoting Horner: change the fucking cars.
I don't agree,
we see mostly the same thing in F2 & F3 the circuit needs to change rather then the cars.
@@isk8nyc Not true this year. F2 was entertaining.
@@isk8nyc F2 race was great
I think they should ditch the regular cars and make all the drivers fight it out in mostly spec go-karts. The drivers would love it, the teams would create the coolest carts ever, and the racing would be spectacular.
The race is nothing more than an exhibition. A historic and somewhat exclusive event to attend after the parties at the Film Festival.
It's should remain, but as an exhibition race; not part of the actual season.
The only way to save this race as is, is to force this race to be run on only soft compound tires, and the softest of the tires in the Pirelli range. That would force multiple pit stops (probably as many as 3) through increased tire deg. That would result in a lot more gamesmanship, strategy, and action, plus give the traction to possibly make some passes that wouldn't normally be considered by the top teams.
Or they would drive even slower 😂
@@instinct3510spot on. Start 1st. And tootle round only needing to concentrate for 2 corners and you finish where you start.
Cars are too big and fast for the track, track is too narrow, turns are too tight. Also, that ridiculous chicane at the end of the tunnel straight.
KMAG and Ocon actually tried to drive like the hero's of a by gone era.
Monaco should be a time trial, staggered starts and say 10 laps each
interesting idea!
@@christopherbuilder5354 they can go in groups of say 6, slowest group to fastest group depending on qualifying, would actually tension as i may be won on the very last lap, and we would actually see what the drivers can do on that circuit as well as making a unique event.. i thought about it before ...monaco is dull
Each year I have wondered if the race should be held in Monaco. The fact that there are crashes so soon after the race starts indicates to me that the circuit isn't suitable. To me now it is a race so that the rich and famous can show their wealth.
The Lotus 72 was L: 13ft9in x 6ft2in wide x 1278lbs weight. The current crop are 18ft5in x 6ft6.75in x 1755lbs weight. With the width up by almost 5 inches, length by 4.5ft and weight by 215kgs it comes as no surprise that there is difficulty in overtaking on a street circuit. Maybe the answer lies in smaller cars than wider tracks?
Make it a time attack weekend. Multiple rounds. Top tone, top speed, tandem runs for a tune delta.... some crazy stuff like that
Gross. You can go watch whatever time attack sport you want. It's one race out of 24 and you crying. If you don't like it don't watch
That race was under virtual safety car
Good point :) Exactly like a virtual safety car run for 70 laps...
VSC might have had better pace 😂
Someone here in the comments floated the idea of turning the Monaco GP into a special event using older cars. I think that’s a nice idea. A ‘bit’ like goodwood for example. Each team races older cars from different periods, drivers both old and current or up and coming can compete. So you get all the glamour , keep the location in the calendar, but offer something new. I’d watch and probably enjoy that.
Obviously there would be massive infrastructural and branding issues, but still it’s a cool idea.
I literally fell asleep towards the end of the race, I was up all early had my coffee and still literally fell asleep during the race, luckily caught the emotional end and final laps
If F1, Liberty Media, want to make F1 racing exciting, and provoke the teams into building cars that can overtake, award significant points for qualifying and then grid the cars for the race in reverse order of qualifying.
Awarding decent points for qualifying would force the teams and drivers to compete to 'win' qualifying, but then positioning the cars in reverse qualifying order for the race would force the teams and drivers to find ways to pass, or see slower cars gaining decent points over them. A scheme such as this invites all sorts of strategic tactics, both during qualifying and the race. It could be fantastic. There would have to be some strict rules applied to punish drivers that blatantly block cars behind from passing, but we should have such rules and enforce them now!
Surely there must be a way to eek out some space to make the track wider and maybe lengthen the drs part ?
There really isn't. I've been to Monaco on a normal weekend, I've both walked and driven around the "track", even without the barriers and F1 curbs it's ridiculously tight in places and there's not really much option for altering the track as you're stuck with the road layout of the city.
There's not many other options for where the track can go as most of the connecting streets don't re-connect to the track area.
The only exiting Monaco races I can remember are all rainy. So just install sprinklers.
If only there was a large source of water nearby...
Schumacher's race in the pouring rain in 1997 was the most balls to the wall thing I've ever seen in F1. Made me an instant fan.
It was absolutely boring. My view for many years that Monaco circuit should be dropped. I for one will NEVER be looking at another one and that includes the FP's.
It won't be dropped though. Plenty of other boring races in F1 nowadays though.
If it wasn’t for the historic nature of Monaco it wouldn’t be on the calendar, they either need to drop the race or reconfigure the circuit to allow for more passing
Qualify as normal to establish running order and then each car does 5 laps on the circuit on their own and the fastest aggregate time for all 5 laps wins. this will mean pushing like qualifying for all 5 laps (testing car, driver and barriers)
Really don't understand why they don't just move Monaco to the end of the calendar. Treat it the same way the TDF does around the Arc de Triumph. Still keep it on the calendar but keep it almost as a parade to celebrate the season. Putting it at the end might also open up some more variable weather too for the fans!
Also only one change would be needed to make it more of a spectacle, straighten out the Nouvelle chicane and make that whole strip into a big DRS zone from the tunnel entry to Tabac.
Joker laps are the only way to breakup the train.
I would also like to see 2 10 car sprint races on Sat with a 15 car final on Sun.
Joker laps could be really fun! But I'm happy I didn't pay for F1 this year. Talk about boring..
Sprint race with mandatory 3 x pit stops and reverse grid, maybe that will make Monaco almost interesting.
The last time the Monaco GP was exciting was probably in 1996.
The Monaco track is only a small part of the F1 problem. With only a couple three teams with a chance to win on any given weekend, all tracks are seriously boring.
Honestly what is so iconic about Monaco? The rich people? I really need to understand what makes the most boring race on the calendar "Iconic"?
in 1992, Nigel Mansell was chasing Ayrton Senna for around 20 laps maybe, can;t remember exactly. Had he been able to overtake he would have left Ayrton behind, but that is the nature of Monaco. It has always been like that when you get a clever driver up front blocking any chance of overtaking.
The only way to inprove it is to widen the track and have a truly long straight and the only way to do that is if Monaco invaded France and took another 2kms off the border. If not that make them pay for their tyres with a credit card before they exit the pit lane and put hard curbs on the track like normal roads. DId anyone mention speed bumps?
I was at that race and it was probably one of the best Grand Prix I've ever been to.
That was down to driving skill for both drivers. Not cars that when side by side don't fit on half the track.
@@kenw1295 You should try watching paint dry! You would love it!
The solution isnt smaller cars, mandated tyre changes or pit stops. That's absurd. The only fix is to remove Monaco altogether.
😂 go watch drive to survive. It's one race out of a season of 24 races. You don't like it you don't have to watch.
@@jeffsteyn7174and that is the problem. I am a decades long F1 fan and you need people to watch for the sport to thrive.
F1 without Monaco isn't F1 just reduce cars size quali will Always much important but AT least in 2006 Schumacher went from last to p5 Which now IS totally impossible
@@NoeNoe-fz6uq F1 without Monack is actually a better product. Monoco is boring and drain or resources, they is no benefit actually hosting the event.
@@iflgames3245 i understand but Monaco IS the prestige and also the races where very interesting before Monaco 1982 IS maybe the best gp ever, 1979 was a great edition as 1981 and 1982 and 1984 and the famous raining race where Senna almost won, 1987 the first win of Senna in Monaco, 1988 was interesting as well, 1992, 1996, 1999, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2009... We've got so much beautiful races there but now not because of the size of those cars... But if F1 makes tinier cars Monaco will become great again
They're not going to take it off because rich people are involved.
Ive been saying this for well over 3 years now. Change the track layout! Make an A, B, and C versions of the track.
I don't mind losing the Monaco Grand Prix.
My thoughts exactly. Any petitions out there?
@@tuzuharurakutu Nope, and it also doesn't matter what any petition would result in
@@Mazeboxx we know they only care about the money, but we won't know until we try.
@@tuzuharurakutu No, we clearly know now already
I’d be happy to see it go too. No replacement could be worse.
The pundits have been saying Monaco is unsuitable for F1 since the '80's. No surprise there. Money is why it is still held.
Give points for 2 qualifying style shootouts (fastest to slowest top 10) and scrap the race. There isn’t enough room on the track for a race. This obviously is not cost effective when you think how much of a show it is and the investment made by sponsors and those attending. So unless they can try and widen the track at points then you’re left with dropping it from the calendar.
Apart from the obvious issue of the cars being too big , the tyres are USELESS!
You either make the tyres to last a whole race , so the drivers can actually drive , or , bring back refuelling.
The hard tyres weren't really made to last full distance , so the teams had to manage them which meant no one dared to go anywhere near full pace.
That isn't F1 , thats endurance !
1. Change the track
2. Minimum of 3 overtaking sections
3. Sprint weekend
4. 2 x pitsops
5. Make cars smaller
Yep. Like F2, F3, F1 Academy or Formula E as well. They all that, except Porsche SuperCup(?)
Maybe they should just do a hyped-up version of qualifying.
Have everyone drive around the circuit with a bit of spacing.
Drivers get one slow lap and one fast timed lap. Slowest driver on the fast lap goes into the pits. Repeat 20 times. Have the final be 3 fast laps or something.
1 star race, 5 star nap not watching the parade
I would rather lose Liberty Media than Monaco. That’s how much they have destroyed competition.
Give it a Formula 3 car with F1! drivers race : a special event. Cheaper more realistic in stead of on the crossing to a supermarket @ 300 kmh ...
Trivia question, who was the last F1 driver to overtake at Monaco?
3 hours wasted.
Smaller cars, 1 tire compound, No DRS. Or go to another track and call it Monaco.
How about adjusting the cars to the track? In Monaco: no wings allowed, and different tires and skinnier wheels. That will surely upset the cars and test the drivers. Maybe they can come up with a Monaco-only fast-wearing tire compound that also has less grip?
No wings???
I actually fell asleep during the race and the funny thing I noticed when I woke up nothing had changed 😂😂😂😂
It took me two different sessions to watch the race, it kept putting me to sleep
Last years race was great. Did you miss it?
I've been watching Formula 1 since the 1980s and I've always found Monaco to be the most boring track of them all. In the past few years I've skipped watching the race when it's time for the Monaco race.
Remove it from the schedule if they can't widen the race circuit
They should try a knockout individual pursuit style weekend, I mean, the individual pursuit is the only bit of track cycling that is actually watchable.
Either get rid of the borefest or make it a 2-day timetrial.
Here are some (tongue-in-cheek) ways to make the race interesting. 1) as suggested, 2 or more mandatory pit-stops 2) Drive Karts in an abbreviated race 3) Install sprinklers all around the track and turn them on for 5 minutes (to simulate moderate rain) once or twice during the race to give rain-meisters a chance to display their skills. 😁
So instead of watching one driver dominate the season its Monaco that's the problem...
I totally agree. Every race is to see who comes 3rd. I do agree however that Monaco is boring as hell.
Not the same.
You guys must be newbies. Its always been this way. It is a different kind of race that is why its special. Its about who can go around the track the fastest without smashing and the first part of the race is first won or lost in qualifying. He who goes fastest gets the best shot at then going around the hairiest track at speed for 2 hrs and tests his precision, speed and concentration. Its a race of attrition. Its more about racers racing themselves and staying focused the whole time. If you suck at quali you dont even get a chance to win and dont deserve to. Monoco reminds me of old qualifying when it was one shot, balls out, low fuel qualifying.
It's special no more. Maybe for the Super Yachters.
@@jimbattista1120 jealousy will get you nowhere in life.
@@jimbattista1120 Oww the jealousy is hardly bearable
No, the race just sucks to watch
@@gprojectnoob4779 shit track is now special?
Monaco needs a long straight or a place easier enough to overtake.
F1 is a waste.
Says you
Give the fans an open vote yes or no to keep on the calendar......... its that simple.
F1 said goodbye to the original Nurburgring several years ago. It's time to say goodbye to Monaco too.
Nah, it's going nowhere.
F1 should have a tire 2/1 or 3/2 rule forcing piting and strategy would bring f1 a more action packed race no matter the venue
Open up the radius of the Saint Devot corner, changes the port chicane to be a smaller one, and remove the pool chicane
Was there in 1995 in the swimming pool stands- even then it was hard to stay awake.
One simple solution to curb intentional slowing could be if the car behind has caught up to the car ahead by 1.5 seconds a lap or more then that lead car gets a blue flag.
Make the track longer? More drs? I’m sure the principality would love more income flooding in with a larger circuit.
There was nothing wrong with the Monaco race, it merely show cases all that is wrong with F1, it almost every race he who wins the pole wins the race,and there are only 3 team ever in the fight for pole! There is very little passing or competitive racing at all. F1 racing like Monaco is a show case of technology and riches.
A life long F1 fan I didn’t watch many races last season, watched the Monaco race, first of this season…. What is wrong with F1?
Saying that races like Monaco are F1's problem is avoiding the elephant in the room. F1's biggest problem are the few big teams dictating what the rules are for the so called sport. They are making it what it is for everybody. Apparently FIA is the boss, but it's not. You just have to see how the big ones always escape punishment when caught bending the rules or outright cheating. Also, they have always vetoed changes that would have seen their chances cut, like a REAL budget cap or rules like you have in Nascar, Indy or Formula E.
Monaco has never been the problem, F1 is becoming more monotonous on every single track.
Monaco is just the one that the technical differences of the cars weights less and the pilots makes more difference, but with cars with that size, the qualifying is the only time the pilots have a chance to stand out, if they don't lack luck, on the race itself little can be done.
Also, I don't see why people think Magnunssen was wrong, it was not. Perez clearly smashed him to the wall when he saw Magnunssen faster than he was, thinking that he would brake. This is dirt drinving. He also admited it (citing Perez with literal translation): "If I knew he would try to pass I would give him the space". So he knew it was faster and possibly on his side. If the other pilot would not try to take a position, why would he be racing? Sure, if positions were swapped, Magnunssen would be exemplary punished.
To fix F1: bring back the rules from 1980-1990 and then improve the security and limits to accomodate the advances, F1 is becoming boring from the start of each race. Literaly, because that 5 red light signal is a stupidity, bring back the good old red/green it's just better. The DRS is a joke, it is needed because nothing is like it should be anymore. The outcome of each investigation depends more on what pilot is the subject than what the pilot did.
They tried to fix things that were not broken, now these things are broken and need to be fixed.
Monaco itself is undergoing expansion now with a major sandfill being undertaken to increase the size of the principality. Planners should make sure this includes a new section to the circuit with at least a 1km straight and a passing lane where drivers could overtake otherwise Monaco's days are ending. Its like watching a bicycle race down a hospital corridor.
It would be easy to prevent "tyre management" that is a blight on F1; make a rule that drivers have to lap within a certain percentage of their qualifying times. The only exception would be a wet qualifying/race. This would stop it dead.
Cut the tire width in half for this race along with narrower wings. It will increase tire wear, increase passing space and put more focus on the driver’s ability to manage tires, and get the most out of the car.
Make it a mandatory 2 stop, forcing use of all 3 tire compounds. If there's rain, that will spice things on its own.
They could be made to tow a trailer and have a roof rack. By putting more bags of cement in the trailer
that could be used as ballast
Monaco GP also showed that changing anything on your car during red flag needs to go. If car is not safe to drive, then it just simply won't start. If the wing is broken, you start from the pits, if you got a puncture on the way, starting from pits.
F1 drivers using F2 cars. No constructor points. It would truly make Monaco unique.
Time trial, 5 (possibly 6) cars on track at any one time setting off at 10 second intervals, 5 laps each, 1 warm-up, 3 flying, 1 cool down, slowest car over the 3 laps gets eliminated, then rinse, repeat until there are only 3 cars left & they get the podium spots. Limitation on tyres so they have to be used strategically as the winners will have to do up to 100 laps
Mandate just supersoft tires, and at least two stops. Hopefully the tires wear out faster and you have to stop three times. Forget multiple compounds, just the softest and stickiest, maximum traction.
Mandatory 3 pitstops in Monaco with all three compounds must be used on Dry conditions. Drivers will push all race trying to get as close as possible and pit strategy will become extremely important.
They have to make the track twice the width or stop racing in monaco.
I feel like Monaco just highlights the issue more than every other track. Something is wrong with the cars and regulations, most races are incredibly boring. Cars are unable to follow each other closely enough to feel engaging. It hardly ever feels like drivers are dueling... It's usually that 1 car is a second faster than the other, so you just wait for a few corners or laps until they are able to pass on a straight or brake. Getting rid of this track, or even changing the circuit will only work as a bandaid.
There only 2 things that can save the Monaco GP.
1: doing this race stop the rule that allows the teams to change tires during a red flag
2: for this race only, make a rule that says it’s mandatory to use 3 compounds during the race so it forces the teams to have a minimum of 2 pit stops
