they’ve tried to make the best out of a bad situation with this track Hopefully now they’ve tried it and they know that it was What’s the alternative change the track But that’s not going to happen Coming out of the tunnel just get rid of that chicane Have that as a overtaking I was just thinking that but I don’t know whether that’s long enough either And it is that corner you go into Isn’t that the one just before swimming pool it’s that big left I think that’s quite dangerous

Make a dirt section that you have to complete ever 5 laps or so. This has the added bonus of the cars having to have All terrain tires on.
Why not try going the other way it won't be a problem since monico has so much money they probably won't notice any changes to their financial spending
I think the best is like that other dude said. Just let them race the track in the other direction.
Joker lap straight through the chicane once a race
see, my idea is make monaco an anti-clockwise driven track. The chicane out of the tunnel would actually be overtakable on and the end of the tunnel has run off already there
Just reverse the track if don't believe me try it on sims
There is run off at tabac, it could work
Go full formula E and make it so 5 times in the race you can go straight for a overtake
Why not change the track????? I mean add a new section that goes out over the harbor
Runoff area has left the building
Just enforce minimum lap deltas prevents people purposely holding up for 5 seconds.
all we need is smaller cars
Make the cars 1 meter shorter, and it will fix not just Monaco but other tracks too…
The cars are to big for Monaco, they need to drop the race, it’s just a cash grab anyway. “Oh but it’s iconic” yeah but it’s been shit for about 10 years
That’s the problem with street circuits. Cars evolve the track rally cant
Run it backwards it’s way better
FLIP THE TRACK IN REVERSE, RACE IT BACKWARDS
alternative is get rid of the race. It's boring!
Do it in reverse
Rather than a mandatory 2 stop. Mandatory soft start pit lane closed until lap 10
In a simulator I've done monaco counter clockwise, and it's much better than clockwise
reverse?
Change the track is not a bad idea but is it possible ?
Lmao you can’t just remove the chicane and attempt going into Tabac at like 200mph, that’s a tragedy waiting to happen. Just reprofile T1 and the chicane if they insist on keeping it.
is dangerous, but f1 is what, is a sports to train your skill, and ability to overcome any circumstances. Crash is likely to happen but you have a car with protection all over it.
Just scrap Monaco. It's awful.
Race it backwards
Non-points scoring event. Small cars, 80/90’s high revving, with today’s safety standards, not impacting cost cap. Prestige of Monaco podium and prize $. Essentially an all-star type event but for F1.
Remove the chicane after the tunnel
Run
Yous are so dumb it's a car issue not a track issue and why would you remove the chicane that was the only overtake there wasz they should maybe reprofile the Chicane so its more similar to the monza one, because is you remove the chicane you're gonna be in a train from beau rivage to the swimming pool section cause no one is gonna go up the inside at tabac when approaching at 300kph
Good add some danger add some interesting parts
Do qualifying in f1 cars then put everyone in a equal spec Monaco race car
Reduce the size of the cars, too. They're way too big these days
Idk just remove it
Fix the cars, not the tracks. All tracks are useless with the current hybrids. When will "fans" stop living in denial. It's been nearly two decades of this nonsense!
I say just make it into some sort of qualifying esque time trial shootout type format. Like they dk a bunch of laps and the quickest average time wins, or some sort of format that’s like qualifying but longer and with more knock outs.
Basically just any format where lap time matters and track position doesn’t.
“I know how to fix Monaco! Take away the only corner on the track that even gives the hint that an overtake is possible!”
If they ran the other way, you would come out of turn, where a pass could be started, have a straight run where a pass could stick and into chicane where another pass could happen
Just get rid of it off the calendar
Just get rid of the race.
The only solution is to not race it or do a different event. Maybe a qualifying style shootout for the fastest lap between the ten fastest in qualy, idk, something along the lines.
