Mandatory pit stops imposed in bid to liven up raceRussell said crowd were ‘sipping champagne on a yacht’Max Verstappen and George Russell both issued a blunt disapproval of Formula One’s attempts to enliven the Monaco Grand Prix by imposing mandatory pit stops. Verstappen compared it unfavourably to Mario Kart, and Russell dismissed the ­policy as having failed and the race an ­irrelevance to an audience that were “sipping champagne on a yacht”.F1 had hoped that enforcing two pit stops would make for some ­jeopardy and create at least strategic interest in the 78-lap race through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo but it failed to do so.

No overtakes on track were achieved in the entire race. Continue reading...
