This problem only happen in Monaco, not in any other track, and you guys think the car which is still compatible with every other track is the problem here?!
there's no actual requirement to have a grand prix within the borders of the represented country.
eg. Both Luxemburg and San Marino used to have GP's, but they were held in Germany and Italy respectively
The 2026 regs may cause a change to this bc the cars are gonna be smaller
I'm certain that if you put me in a formula 1 car in pole position at the start of the Monaco GP, I would finish that race dead last, probably lapped in double figures (assuming I finish at all). There's definitely still skill involved.
please for the love of god, go back to watching baseball and ruining sports around the world
Naturally, it makes sense why the cars are bigger, but they should have a smaller version just for this track, a lot of other tracks also now that I think of it😂
monaco is a street rac so it's already hard to pass but the streets are narrow and the car are like 2x bigger that before
Hate to burst your bubble, Vox, but the most famous race in the world is the Indianapolis 500.
I guess they made an exception for San Marino for having it be held inside of their borders?
The most prestigious and worst street course on the Formula 1 GP calendar… I love the history of Monaco 🇲🇨 but the race is boring … Not to mention the cars getting bigger
Indy 500 is biggest car race in world.
Well, I think you have to leave the space. All the time you have to leave the space.😂😂
If the roads can't be made bigger, make the cars smaller – say 1/3 the size they are now. Then train horse jockeys to drive them.
Just a thought.
Only people who doesn't understand F1 thinks Monaco has a problem.
They should Karts, or 3/4 size midgets. That track was originally for much smaller vehicles. It would be a great equalizer in the series.
We need the Vatican Grand Prix
Sadly, on the rare occasion when Monaco is a good race, it’s good for all the wrong reasons.
The Indianapolis 500 has a big problem?
Meanwhile Indianapolis: am I a joke to you
There is a very important reason why they don't stop having this event in Monaco: Money laundering.
what about imola? that used to be called the San Marino grand prix
I haven't followed the races for the past few years, but things got a little more interesting when it started to rain.
Excuse me Indy 500 is known as the world’s most famous race
Build a race track island Dubai style just off the coast of Monaco.
I mean it's Monaco after all not like they couldn't afford it
I don't even tune into a Monaco race. Nascar is more entertaining.
Not a big formula E but they can race there and with a lot of passing. F1 cars got to big
Why not just do like vintsge car races with smaller cars except all the racers must wear motorcycle air bag safety suits and the cars all have governors limiting their speed to like 50mph/81kph or something? Or why not replace it wih a motorcycle race?
"The most famous car race in the world"
24 Hours of Le Mans & Indy 500: Act like i am not even here
I feel like this race could use some mandatory pit stops or something
Race is a joke
Which makes the best part of this race the qualifying!
Pole is still important on every other track..
It's just on this track in particular, that the race is on Saturday.
You just need to not crash on Sunday.
Too much money involved to make any change.
No one has been able to pass for decades this isn’t new. Still a thrilling race in my opinion, the spectacle, the danger and fanfare. Qualifying is incredible to watch.
But for the last seven years, the car in the pole position has only won twice. Source: the start of this video (0:05).
Yeah it really is such a boring race
Its the problem of big f1 cars
San marino gp was in italy
leclerc in 2021 and 2022 🙁
The Monaco race is so boring, almost as boring as watching fast American cars turn left, turn left, turn left, etc.
I don't bother watching Formula 1 anymore.
Give me Moto GP and Moto's II and III for real track racing.
