The triple crown of motorsport should not include the Monaco GP. The race follows the standard mantra of all racing drivers. 1 win the pole, 2 win the first corner, 3 open a five-second gap and maintain that gap throughout the race. The only place to pass at Monaco is the exit of the tunnel. There may be aberrations when drivers in front make a mistake, but not a consistent passing place. The tunnel is the only realistic place, as shown year after year. The real triple crown for a team is, winning the F1 championship, winning the Indy 500 and the LeMans 24 hours. The reason that Monaco is still on the calendar is that it's known as the sponsor's race. They can wine and dinner with their clients very lavishly.
@TheRacingPilot Жыл бұрын
Why it's on the calendar is it's extremely tough to win as it is very easy to make a small mistake and be in the wall. I understand it's decided pretty much after the first corner but that doesn't take away from how hard it is to win 👍

Their average finishing position in the WDC since he was appointed has been 5.1 - not exactly "laughing stock to truly competitive" is it? Is he paying you for this?
