1 week ago ‘We were almost doing Mario Kart’: Verstappen and Russell slate Monaco F1 GP pit stops

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.

It was a rousing win for writer-director L...
