- Drivers say circuit is no longer suited to modern F1 cars
- Hamilton on top in first practice with Leclerc quickest in P2
Several Formula One drivers, including Lewis Hamilton, have called on the Monaco Grand Prix to adapt to ensure the race weekend offers a more entertaining competition given the current cars make overtaking all but impossible on the streets of Monte Carlo.
The race is often little more than a procession, but the drivers still relish competing at Monaco, the unforgiving challenge a test like no other. From the cockpit it remains a thrill ride. However, the circuit that held its first grand prix in 1929 is no longer suited to modern F1 cars, especially since 2017 as they have become increasingly unwieldy on the narrow track.
