The Monaco Grand Prix was labelled as boring by some after the chequered flag with few overtakes occurring around the narrow but challenging circuit.
Charles Leclerc’s Monaco Grand Prix victory was a heartwarming triumph for the local crowd, with the Ferrari driver leading from start to finish and successfully holding off his rivals during two standing starts. A red flag incident allowed all drivers to pit, eliminating the need for further pit stops after the race resumed. Despite limited overtaking opportunities on the track, the top 10 finishers remained unchanged after qualifying. This rare occurrence in F1 underscored the challenges of passing in Monaco. Drivers, including world champion Max Verstappen, have called for modifications to the circuit layout to improve overtaking possibilities, as the narrow track and car size make it difficult to execute passes. The race’s procession-like nature and lack of wheel-to-wheel battles were evident in the 78 laps that took place.
