Monaco should have a spec electric car (same for everyone) that's small enough to race properly. All the drivers, in an even car, for just one race. Done.

That was a boring race , and I whatched most of it in fast forward. Scrap it , move on.

Newey to Andretti then f1 can't keep them out for being non competitive

Smaller cars no DRS or no DRS zones. F1 overly complicates everything it does.

F1 is a laugh!

All F1 on any track has in the last twenty years has become mind numbing boring stopped watching years ago.

They can't make the course wider, but they could lengthen it just a little bit. How? Just after the hairpin is a right-hand turn, then a short straight and another right hand turn to the straight that goes into the tunnel. Well, instead of going straight right after the right turn after the hairpin, make a left, then take a right around the building that creates a round about. That will lead directly to the straight that goes into the tunnel. Have that as a DRS zone. Do away with the chicane after the tunnel. To increase the passing zone. And keep the front straight DRS zone. Also, make it mandatory to use all 3 tire compounds. If there is a safety car or red flag in the first 10 to 15 laps, change of tires will not count toward the use of 3 tire compounds! Or better yet, cannot change tires in first 10 laps unless the tire has puncture or damage.

The media coverage made it even more sad with an extremely poor coverage of a dud race. Happy to see the podium, but commercials on tv F1 race coverage, and poor coverage on the events that took out several drivers made this a very tough time as a fan. Liberty media s__ks and are destroying F1 for true fans.

That 'race' was the most embarrassing advert for F1 in history.

Indeed. Compare and contrast with the wildly exciting Indianapolis 500 race, even though it was delayed for four hours. In both cases, I long for the old times, when there were very few rules about what kind of propulsion and aero packages you could bring to the tracks. Flying cars would, for example, definitely be able to pass in Monaco, as long as they avoided the tunnel roof. More pit stops, and a race dominated by rubber science, don't appeal. The changes need to permit some form of overtaking, or the on-track result will remain a parade.

Cut the grand prix for good or change the track layout with few straights to allow overtaking Never was so bored watching this race...

Change the Schools buses trying to pass as race cars, not the track!

Seems more like a coincidence.

With Perez's performance this past weekend (Monaco) I'd love to see Sainz in that second Red Bull, though I find it highly unlikely. He'd be a better choice for Mercedes than Antonelli (sorry, not sorry but I'm tired of watching F1 use up these young drivers and discard them! Not many can be Max Verstappens!) I'm very excited for the Audi prospect and would love to see Williams back at the front of the sport, as they were when I first started watching F1. Any way you look at it, I'd like to see Carlos get a little more respect than he has been.

Watch wsc, the sports cars. Really fantastic season under way, great cars, brilliant racing. Everything n f1 is not. And f1 at spa 2021 - run one lap to cheat the fans. Wsc at spa 2024 - 1.5 hours to rebuild a barrier so the six hours was up. What do they do - add another 1.5 hours of racing so fans get their moneys worth. And while this hurt some teams results wise did any of them do the f1 spoilt children thing. Of course not.

I've finally grown sick of the annual "Monaco Parade" and I'm ready to ditch the race. In comparison to the Indy 500 later the same day, I'd watch Indy 500 times to no views of the "Parade". At least Max and Lewis made it somewhat interesting by pitting later in the race, but that still wasn't enough!

How about each team has to race with a 'classic' F1 car. Any era, any tyres, refueling may be an issue but they could do 2 races? That would be a hell of a weekend!

Everyone thinks and talks about that something must be mandatory in changing tires. But why?! Give it back possibility for refueling cars during the race! That will give chances for teams to make all kinds of strategies, combined with use of different tires (without mandatory rules) and we should immediately see F1 like it was in it's golden ages. Possibility of refueling gasoline changes everything. Of course, some shrinking in terms of the size of cars will also make no harm. And please don't say that refueling will be to much dangerous. (Put rather some mandatory things here in terms of security like some firefighting liquid spraying facilities in one every box of teams, just in case.)

Did Newey take all his upgrades off the car when he left then???? I don’t think his leaving has impacted it that much really. Their marginal gains have had diminishing returns and other team have had greater return off their gains. Simple really. It happened during Mercedes dominance and will happen in the future.

who cares, just keep it as showpiece

The race is a demonstration of why Formula 1 drivers are in an elite class of their own.

There is nothing wrong with the circuit, the car are too fat, almost the same with any street circuit, the future of F1 is to shrink the cars and bring racing back to Monoco

He’s not God Almighty, all this hoo ha around Newey is very disrespectful to tbe designers of Ferrari and McLaren etc . Please remind me who the designer of the Mercedes was when it smashed it with Hamilton? It wasn’t Newey

I litterary fall asleep xD just watching this video noticed that I actually didn't remembered anything from it, when he spoiled that top 10 didnt change any pos, i was like huh, where did it miss it? :I

Christian’s ego will be hurt this season I believe!

Keep the tire change under red flag for safety but disallow changing the compound under red flag. Add minimum 2 stop or require the use of all 3 compounds.

If he goes to Ferrari, he will be a pure legend forever. Another team, nobody will remember him.

Meanwhile in Indianapolis . . . the story is all about the race. The daring overtaking. A race with 16 leaders? Or was it more? A final lap with TWO passes for the lead! An outside pass for the win in a turn at over 220 mph! Ahhhhh. Indianapolis. At least we have the Indy 500 to save racing during Monaco weekend!

Now that Lec has won at home ... just ditch this race from the calendar

Perhaps they should use special cars just for Monaco. Perhaps put the drivers in shifter carts. (I'm being serious here.) F1 drivers in shifter carts around Monaco would be an amazingly exciting spectacle!

I’ve said make the drivers uses F3 cars. I read somewhat that the Automobile Club of Monaco were considering lengthening the track - but the truth is the cars are far too big and heavy for this circuit. I’d remove it from the Calendar and have a special non championship race there with invited F1 drivers driving none F1 cars . When they removed the IoM TT from the World Championship calendar it still thrived because it was a special track as is Monaco which already thrives with historic GP cars racing there.

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.

I agree with your theory.... No Adrian = less wins for Red Bull. As the saying goes "you don't know what you've got until you lose it"

at the moment its a show case for the rich and famous.. thats it nothing else

I don't think tire compounds\mandatory pitstops will have any affect. You had the leader running several seconds off pace and still able to keep everyone behind him. To me, that nullifies any hope that different tire compounds will shake things up. Making more pit stops doesn't increase passing. While it does give more opportunities to gain positions under pitstops. The elephant in the room is the passing. You would have to shrink the cars and get rid of downforce or massively change the layout. None of that is really feasible for one race.

It seems like Newey is sabotaging our car on his way out. I can't be the only one thinking that...

Let’s see how slow we can go to preserve our tyres, boring.

Success has ruined the team. Mercedes true accomplishment was stamina at the top.

Looks like Red Bull is getting a taste of what Merc has been going through.

First 15-20laps 11 seconds slower than the pole position time

Im a lifelong Ferrari fan and nothing made me more happy than to see Charles win on Sunday. Having said that, this is the worst race on the calendar. We need to get rid of it.

The downturn in performance at Red Bull certainly correlates with the announcement of Newey’s departure. I don’t know to what extent Newey was directly involved in solving set up issues but it would certainly explain things.

Sorry, but I fell asleep

i am very happy that Red Bull is slowly crumbling apart

BORING TO WATCH . UNTILL IT RAIN'S./ its BAD When its about TYRES ?

All the money in Monaco, and they cant change the track? Its a billionaire's playground, just build out over the ocean and make the straight twice as long.

Tire changes at red flags should NOT count towards required compound change. Keeping green/yellow flag tire change strategy still in the mix. Makes the free red flag tire change choice a strategy decision too. And do it for all tracks! PS at least Sir Lancelot, who has been get'n a lot of hate this year, got to race at full speed for about 1/2 the race. AND passed 2 cars under green!!! I also agree with making Monaco a special events race instead. Kinda like NASCAR does with the Clash and Allstar race.

Andretti doesn’t add value to F1, yet they annually try to shine this turd.

F1 IS Monaco so keep thé same track but reduce thé cars size which are wayyy too Big

Please stop using that same ridiculous Horner pic in your thumbnails!
