Formula 1 hoped the mandatory two-stop strategies would spice the Monaco Grand Prix up. But the reality probably wasn’t what it hoped for
The mandatory two-stop strategy in the Monaco Grand Prix did not have the desired effect of spicing up the race as hoped by Formula 1. The race was different but not necessarily enjoyable, with questionable tactics and controversial moments. Teams like Racing Bulls and Williams used strategic maneuvers that exaggerated existing tendencies in Monaco racing, leading to an unsatisfactory spectacle. The outcome of the race left many feeling that the experiment was not successful and in need of reevaluation. Ultimately, the consensus is that the two-stop rule achieved little other than causing confusion and did not significantly change the usual race dynamics at Monaco.
