sure, all nice ideas, but again, it not going to happen. I agree that in normal world the power of opinions could count. However in F1 does does not seem to be the case.
What about our call for more engine sound? What about the call for simpler rules allowing the engineers to be really smart, what about of the budget cap nonsence, what about freezing engines.

It's all about money and making more. And Monaco it THE place to meet the alike.

Do not get me wrong, I hate this race, it is super boring, out of place and the fans all like to see it go asap. The fans however do not have any say.

 

That won't do. It's simply wallpapering over the cracks !!!

Even with Wurz' makeover, Monaco would still be unable to meet the requirements other circuits have to observe to obtain a licence.

 

#1 - I thought for sure they stated practice was on Thursday at the end of the previous race.
#2 - Doing two laps on the soft was key to pole + victory. Ferrari should have attempted the same thing.
#3 - I was surprised Lando set the track record with the biggest car in F1 history.

 

I don't see reverse grid working. The teams will just come up with a strategy to beat it, which means going slower.

 

My understanding is that the 2026 cars are smaller but should accelerate better because they are lighter and have more overall power.

 

they'll be barely any lighter, teams think the 40 or so kg saving is a rather ambitious target...

 

Get rid of BATTERIES... easy

 

They are lighter and carry less fuel. They are also smaller.

 

All teams have said the minimum weight is unlikely to be met. And it's not a big saving. They'll still be massively overweight.

Yes cars will be slightly smaller but only that...slightly. They'll still be about the length of a Cadillac Escalade.

 

How crass. You shut up and start driving. You have a seat because we watch. The race is crap and was not missed during COVID.

Hulkenberg tells Monaco Grand Prix critics to "stop crying"

 

This is the reality and has been for sometime. Monaco is not what it was before in terms of F1 business. Per Joe Saward and this has been put out the last 3 years after F1 reorganized under COVID.

--The glitter is wearing thin. Once this was the place where the big sponsorship deals were done, where everyone wanted to be and where the biggest stars would pop up. But these days Miami, Singapore and even Las Vegas seem to do more business and attract bigger names. These races may not be as glamorous as Monaco, but there is more space to operate and the people are more friendly--

I can imagine Liberty already working to replace Monaco with Las Vega in the near future, as the place where big business comes to iron sponsorship deals, and celebrities can shine. Monaco could be at risk from being dropped from the calendar after 2032, IMO.
Las Vegas has more to offer than Monaco becoming too restricted and quaint.
