The history of the Formula 1 is closely linked to the Grand Prix of Montecarlothe appointment glamor par excellence, an iconic and charismatic circuit, but which has remained anchored to an era that the Circus has long since passed. With cars getting bigger and bigger and roads that inevitably are the same, even the remote overtaking possibilities have vanished. And it is no coincidence that the contract with Formula 1 is over: to date, Monaco is not part of the 2023 calendar. There are negotiations for a five-year renewal, but the Monegasques will have to lower their claims and perhaps revise the ‘fee’ upwards. to host the Grand Prix.
For Mercedes Toto team principal Wolffhowever, neither the show nor the economic agreements between Liberty Media and the president of the Automobile Club de Monaco Michel Boeri are insurmountable obstacles: “I think there is a debate to be held in order to find a trade agreement. Both sides will clearly find a compromise why we need Monaco and Monaco needs Formula 1. Of course, if one car can slow down by almost five seconds and freeze everyone, that’s a shame about the races that take place here. Maybe we can examine the layout of the track or do something to prevent a train of cars from being created, but I wouldn’t know where to go except on these roads.“.
However, the problems of the Monaco Grand Prix are not just about the money or the show. Even apparently secondary aspects, but which are of capital importance for modern Formula 1 – such as advertising billboards and hospitality – could be improved and are among the requests that Formula 1 will put on the compromise table with Boeri.
