Our reporter on the ground in the F1 paddock recaps one of the biggest talking points on media day at the Spanish Grand Prix.
F1 drivers have shared their ideas for improving overtaking at the Monaco Grand Prix, following a lackluster race with only one overtake.
Alex Wurz, chairman of the GPDA, proposed three changes to create overtaking chances, which gained attention in Barcelona before the Spanish Grand Prix.
Driver Alex Albon supported Wurz’s suggestions, especially extending the run to the Nouvelle chicane to facilitate overtaking.
Albon also mentioned using DRS into Turn 1 and believes these changes could boost overtaking opportunities.
Teammate Carlos Sainz suggested minor alterations to Loews and Rascasse, acknowledging they could help slightly but not solve the main issue.
Overall, drivers see the proposed changes as potentially beneficial, but they still feel more significant adjustments are needed to address the overtaking challenges at Monaco.
