Formula E raced on the full Circuit de Monaco last weekend and proved that quality single-seater racing is still possible at the iconic venue.
F1 has been struggling to provide thrilling races at the Monaco Grand Prix for a considerable amount of time, leading to calls from some fans to remove the historic venue from the calendar due to lack of excitement. The challenging nature of the street circuit limits the possibilities for F1 to enhance overtaking opportunities through track modifications. Formula E, on the other hand, has demonstrated the potential of Monaco as an exhilarating circuit, with 197 overtakes recorded during a recent race, showcasing the series’ exciting racing dynamics. The different technical aspects between F1 and Formula E, such as tire grip, downforce, and car size, contribute to the increased overtaking possibilities in the all-electric series on the Monaco track. While Monaco remains a prestigious and essential part of the F1 calendar, the comparison with Formula E highlights the potential benefits of adapting car specifications for more exciting racing at the iconic venue in the future.
