Max Verstappen criticized the lack of action in the Monaco Grand Prix, stating, “This has nothing to do with racing,” highlighting a recurring issue where Saturday’s excitement contrasts with Sunday’s dullness due to the difficulty of overtaking in Monaco’s narrow streets. The 2024 race featured an early red flag, further contributing to the lack of competitive racing. This situation underscores the ongoing challenges faced by Formula 1 in delivering engaging races in the principality, where overtaking remains nearly impossible with the current generation of larger cars.
