The Monaco F1 track has few overtaking opportunities – but would these changes help improve the show?
Chairman of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association Alex Wurz has proposed changes to the Monaco circuit to enhance overtaking opportunities. The narrow nature of the historic track has made it difficult for drivers to pass each other effectively. Previous attempts to increase unpredictability through a mandatory two-stop strategy did not improve the spectacle. Wurz’s suggestions focus on modifying Turn 6 – Fairmont Hairpin and Turn 10 – Nouvelle Chicane to facilitate overtaking while maintaining the track’s character. His ideas involve widening the hairpin entry, extending the straight before the chicane, and preserving the challenge of iconic corners like Tabac. These alterations aim to create a more exciting and competitive racing environment in Monaco.
