Despite the star-studded group of attendees, the Monaco Grand Prix often is far from an exciting race. The nature of modern F1 cars means passing is nearly impossible in the tight, twisting corners with barriers just inches away from cars at almost every point of the Circuit de Monaco.

The race on the streets of Monte Carlo is one of the crown jewels in all of motorsports. The glitz and glamor of racing in one of the wealthiest regions of Europe has always been a must-see event. Celebrities and superstars of all professions have seen some of the most daring drivers compete and try to etch their name among racing’s greats.

Formula 1’s hangover from a not-so-successful experiment to spice up another slow Monaco Grand Prix was still being felt at the next race in Spain this weekend.

Although native-Monegasque Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc tried to temper expectations for the weekend, the Ferraris were in a good place in Monaco. With no fast corners, the team could run the car low to the ground without risking a penalty, and this year's car excels at low-speed corners, of which Monaco has plenty.

F1, the FIA and the 10 teams agreed to introduce two mandatory stops for this year’s Grand Prix to try and improve the on-track spectacle.

The one thing learned from the FIA’s mandatory two-pitstop rule at Monaco on May 25th, is that it didn’t make the intended impact on the race.
