Christian Horner has called for changes to be made to Monaco to spice up F1 racing.
Red Bull F1 team principal Christian Horner believes Monaco should consider track layout changes to enhance racing excitement at the iconic venue. Despite efforts to introduce a two-stop strategy for this year’s Monaco Grand Prix, the race saw zero overtakes over 78 laps. Lando Norris clinched McLaren’s first win at Monaco since 2008, holding off Charles Leclerc. Horner emphasized the need for longer braking zones to facilitate overtaking opportunities, acknowledging the current challenges posed by the size of modern F1 cars. While Monaco’s historical significance is recognized, Horner suggested adapting to the changing times, possibly through introducing smaller and lighter cars in the future. The mandatory two-stop rule was seen as an improvement by Horner, adding strategic complexity to the race, although the core issue of limited overtaking opportunities at Monaco persists.
