The narrow street circuit in Monte Carlo seems like the worst possible choice for a Formula 1 Sprint race. It doesn't just seem that way; it is the worst choice. Overtaking is nearly impossible there, and with no pit stops, the opportunities for strategic attacks are further diminished.
So, why did Formula 1 decide to make Monaco one of the four new venues to host a Sprint race?
The logic is as follows: Teams and drivers will have only one free practice session on Friday, followed by Sprint qualifying. This means optimizing car setups will be incredibly challenging.
Furthermore, the public will get the chance to watch two qualifying sessions – undoubtedly the most thrilling sessions on the streets of Monte Carlo since Formula 1 began racing there.
