Grand Prix Drivers’ Association chairman Alex Wurz has outlined three feasible ways that Monaco’s Formula 1 circuit can be improved to help overtaking
Grand Prix Drivers’ Association chairman Alex Wurz has outlined three feasible ways to enhance overtaking at Monaco’s Formula 1 circuit. This comes after discussions on the need for tweaks to the layout due to the limited passing opportunities at the street circuit. Wurz’s proposals include revamping the Nouvelle Chicane after the tunnel by extending the exit and moving the chicane towards Tabac. Another suggestion is to reprofile the Rascasse corner by moving the apex further out and widening the track. Lastly, Wurz recommends widening the entry to the Fairmont Hairpin by just over two meters to create more overtaking opportunities. These suggestions aim to maintain the circuit’s character while improving racing and increasing chances for overtaking, based on Wurz’s experience with successful race circuit design.
