Radical Monaco Grand Prix qualifying change proposed
The Sky Sports F1 commentary team has proposed a radical change to qualifying at the Monaco Grand Prix due to ongoing issues with impeding during the weekend’s running.
With six out of 20 drivers being new to the Monaco street circuit, impeding has become a significant problem, affecting drivers’ ability to find space for a clean lap.
Jenson Button suggested splitting Q1 into two groups to avoid cars getting in each other’s way, but some, like David Croft, are concerned it may reduce the excitement of the session.
Several impeding incidents have already occurred during practice sessions, prompting drivers’ frustrations and causing damage to some cars.
The hope is that drivers will adapt to the challenges of the Monaco circuit by the time of qualifying and the race, improving the overall situation.
