Lewis Hamilton believes that the decision to introduce two mandatory pit stops at the Monaco Grand Prix will enhance the spectacle of the race compared to last year’s lackluster event. The new rule was implemented to add excitement by making all drivers pit at least twice on the challenging track known for limited overtaking opportunities. Previous races at Monaco have often resulted in processional events, where qualifying positions heavily influenced the race outcome. With the larger size of current F1 cars exacerbating overtaking difficulties, the impact of the two-pit-stop rule remains to be seen. Despite starting from seventh due to a grid penalty, Hamilton expressed optimism about the new regulation and its potential to add unpredictability and excitement to the race. The decision-making process for pit stops has already added an extra layer of strategy and discussion among teams and drivers, promising a dynamic and engaging Monaco Grand Prix.
