I wonder if the slightly smaller, lighter cars make Monaco less of a parade lap? I guess we’ll have to wait and what the spread of performance across teams is like by that point, and if it’s any easier to get overtaking done.

They’re still basically as big and heavier than the 2021 spec cars so no. Last year’s Monaco race was the most farcical race since USA 2005 IMHO. A joke.

Indy 05 was an actually funny joke though. Monaco is just sad and boring.

I think we need a “Monaco spec” car that’s basically a souped up go kart with aero if they insist on keeping on the calendar. Points don’t count to the championship.

That’s what I’ve been suggesting for years. They claim it’s all about the history, fine put them all in historical cars.

Or better yet put them in cars accessible to the public. Then the public can time trial it at some later time in a public event and compare themselves to f1 drivers.
