    The problem you'd get then is that tabac really isn't a safe corner for cars to be be entering side by side a 220mph.

    IMO the whole appeal of Monaco is the risk of crashing. If you can force drivers to push there's a good change of at least something entertaining happening. Stroll illustrating the point by hitting the wall almost immediately after having a reason to push.

    It's too narrow.

    They can either change or delete.

    Change tabac too.

    Simple as.

    This can't continue. It's absolutely dull.

    we've been saying that for 30+years, it'll stay on the calendar until Monaco stops being a tax haven.

    Weird that the guy who apparently always makes mistakes wins today absolutely faultlessly, and has finished in the top four in every race. Some people might call that consistency.

    Just one of those wierd results, like Stroll being the only driver to make more than one on track overtake in the same race at Monaco in living memory.
