Lewis Hamilton put together a perfect weekend for himself as he notched up another win
#4 Monaco Grand Prix raises the same questions yet again
Ad
It's two races in a row where the winner of the race drove at the speeds that were multiple seconds off the pace and still won
The only reason why Monaco was a watchable race was because of Max Verstappen and his relentless attack on Lewis Hamilton.

If we take that out what else happened in that race? Not much. There weren't many overtakes. There weren't any battles.
The cars have already gotten much wider than what they used to be which makes the already narrow circuit of Monaco even narrower and just impossible to overtake.
In the past, there have been classic races which had some great action at Monaco. But one of the biggest issues has been the increased size of cars and decreased braking distance which has made overtaking virtually impossible now.
It just raises the question every year. Why does F1 come here for racing when you can't really "race" on this track? With Monaco dishing another processional race the questions will be back again regarding the circuit and whether it has crossed its expiry date now.
