After last year’s Monaco “procession” Formula 1 introduced a rule change for this year’s Grand Prix requiring each driver to use three sets of tires, aiming to add strategic intrigue. The change stirred nervousness among teams and garnered mixed reactions after the race. Despite criticisms that the rule felt artificial, it prevented a repeat of last year’s stagnant race after an early red flag. The tweak effectively added suspense and strategic tension, creating multiple scenarios for both teams and fans. The new format rewarded strategic thinking, with teams like Red Bull and Williams showcasing successful team-based tactics. Some drivers, like Carlos Sainz, expressed concerns about manipulated racing, suggesting that the new rule encouraged dubious strategies. Overall, the rule change in Monaco highlighted the difficulty of overtaking on the street circuit and raised questions about the balance between strategic play and authentic racing in Formula 1.
