Monaco is stepped in history and f1 glory.
Yes it's an anachronism, twisty and too small for a modern f1 car. But it is intense for the drivers, apart from St devote and the tunnel/new chicane there are zero run offs. They are on the very edge of their limits all the time. As poor Charles found put yesterday you're always a mm away from disaster.
I agree with
@zorro_mfc . It's much better than a sanitised , anodyne Herman Tilke "track". Oh no, I've over cooked it. Never mind I'll just drive on this brightly painted tarmac and just cracked on."
Anyone who's ever seen any Abu Dhabi grand prix can't complain about another race being boring.
