Max Verstappen has warned against further tweaks to spice up the show at the Monaco Grand Prix
Max Verstappen expressed concern that adding more gimmicks to improve the F1 Monaco Grand Prix might turn the event into a version of “Mario Kart.” Despite F1 implementing a two pit stop rule for all drivers, the race lacked excitement due to minimal overtaking. Certain teams, like Racing Bulls and Williams, strategically slowed down to benefit their drivers, causing unintended consequences. Verstappen criticized the rule’s effectiveness, stating that in Monaco, passing is already challenging regardless of the number of pit stops. He rejected the idea of implementing further changes, comparing it to the fantasy elements of ‘Mario Kart.’ Verstappen finished fourth in the race, acknowledging that Red Bull lacked the speed to compete with the top three drivers.
