Lewis Hamilton calls for changes to Monte Carlo circuit

Lewis Hamilton has pleaded with the Monaco GP to be updated so that F1’s most prestigious event delivers a race to match. Hamilton finished a frustrated third in a largely processional race at the Principality on Sunday, happy with the “damage limitation” to his world championship prospects. But he was alarmed by the nature of a race in which the field consistently lapped over five seconds off Daniel Ricciardo’s pole position time, in order to save their tyres at a circuit where track position is everything. “We were just cruising around from lap six,” said Hamilton immediately after the race. “It wasn’t really racing. Ultimately we were turned down and just cruising around to make sure we got to the end.” But in a passionate eulogy about the race considered to be F1’s showpiece event, Hamilton spoke eloquently later on Sunday evening about why he is so keen for Monaco to change.

“Monaco has the biggest build-up and is the most special race of the season and it is just a shame that the race isn’t as exciting as the whole spectacle and the track actually is. In qualifying it is epic and through practice there is no place like it, but in the race we just weren’t ever pushing. “It was insane how little l was pushing – the least l can ever remember. There was a point where l was ten seconds behind and l was conflicted because in my heart l was ‘I still want to win the race’ and they were like ‘no, just bring it home’. I just love racing.”So what can we do to make this one better?” Hamilton had an answer to his own question. “I spoke to Prince Albert the other day and said maybe we should make it longer. There are more roads so maybe we can change this great track and make it even better.”Or maybe the format should change. You shouldn’t be able to do a one-stop race here. There has to be some mixed-up things. Maybe we need two races. “But that was the longest 78 laps ever!”
