The cars would arrive at Tabac at enormous speeds (easily over 300 km/h) with zero runoff. Someone sending it up the inside there and getting it wrong would be in for a horrible shunt.

Problem solved part 2. The red is the new long straight, and the yellow is the escape road should you need it.

plenty space, the more risk the better! Forces drivers to not make a mistake. 50m is fine... or go under the road if you need more.

They will approach at over 300km/h. There is also less space on closer inspection as the road dips away from a promenade/walkway.

Add a ramp over the swimming pool. Optional to use as overtake point.

I'll continue to watch Monaco every year. Not for the racing, but because it's Monaco and has attracted me since I first started watching F1 in the days of Schumacher. You either get it, or you don't. I'm happy with the 23 other races this year to watch proper racing and overtakes.

My vivid recollection of Monaco as a great GP was watching it on TV in the Senna/Prost days..... Ahhh Monaco

‘I’ll put him in the wall next time’ – Untelevised F1 driver rant uncovered at Monaco GP:
— Gabriel Bortoleto’s frustration boiled over in Monaco after an early clash with Andrea Kimi Antonelli left the Sauber rookie in the wall at Portier. Bortoleto immediately told his engineer:
“Kimi pushed me off!”
“F**k it. Antonelli, man! Desperated kid!”
— As the race progressed, Bortoleto asked if Antonelli had been penalised. On learning he hadn’t, he made a blunt threat:
“OK. I will put him in the wall next time.”
— Later, speaking to media, Bortoleto accused Antonelli of a reckless dive:
“We overtook him into [Turn] 6 and then he tried a divebomb move in T8, where we saw, in the past, there was a lot of accidents already there.”
“I was already committed to the corner as well, because I would never expect someone to divebomb there.”
“I ended up trying to still stay on track and expecting that he would give me a bit of room, but he didn’t give any room at all.”
— Bortoleto said the result was damaging, both literally and strategically:
“I just ended up hitting the wall to not hit him in the inside. I would [have] end up in the wall anyway.”
“A shame because we broke the front wing and then we lost that advantage of five positions we had at the beginning of the race.”
— Antonelli defended his move, maintaining it was clean and calculated:
“It was an aggressive move but at the end of the day, I didn’t touch him. And also at the apex, I was ahead.”
“My intention was not to put him in the wall. But I didn’t touch him and I tried my best to give him as much space as possible.”
— He added that Monaco’s tight layout complicated everything, but denied it was malicious:
“It was of course an aggressive move.”
“It’s not like Miami that I got touched. Here, I completely didn’t touch him.”

:laugh:

"According to Bild, Ferrari has reached out to Christian Horner to potentially bring him to Maranello."

Ferrari dont need any more New Team Principals that are subsequently Fired for failing to win.
That is only done to Appease the Board of Directors and protect the Status Quo.

They have a good Principal, and have had many before him, what they should do is listen to him.
If they need a sacrificial lamb then fire the Race Engineers and employ new ones that have actually won championships with Modern F1 Cars and understand the concepts of Strategy and Tactics on a circuit by circuit basis.

Ferrari is far too steeped in Tradition and resting on their Laurels Roman Style to be competitive in Modern F1.

All the drivers say Monaco is the one race they really want to win. They will race because they want to.

Who cares what the drivers say. Watching someone else have fun isn't always fun for you. Do you enjoy watching other people play video games?

If the race is not competitive and you can screw everyone else because they can't pass you, that's not very sporting...

Yeah agreed, they will always be there or there abouts but always lacking that professionalism of modern teams where you get hired based on results and not being able to speak Italian
