Poll: British Grand Prix 2022, Silverstone - Race 10

[Trusty]

Monaco, while prestigious, just doesn't belong on the calendar anymore, the cars are too big and it's one of the worst races year after year.

It's not always about the overtaking. Monaco is still the hardest track for F1 drivers to navigate, a driver starting on pole and keeping his concentration to the win the GP is still a spectacle.

Surely they know the way come race day? They've had enough practice laps by that time

I mean you could say that about an overcrowded Asda but doesn’t mean it’s exciting to watch.

I get the prestige aspect but the racing is so boring. The only actions comes from quali and pit strategies (where Ferrari throws the race down the toilet).

It really isn't. It's a very dull thing to watch... They don't even need to go full speed to do it.

Street circuits make a pleasant change of pace, but they need to be a dash of spice not the dominant flavour.

Rotating single street circuit, Monaco, Singapore, Baku etc etc. One a year and the rest of nice fast and flowly race tracks would be ideal haha

There is not one single F1 racing driver or team on the planet that will agree with you though.

Hence why it will still be on the calender, even after every other circuit has been bulldozed.

You say this, but there is already disputes over the race contract with F1 wanting Monaco to make some changes but Monaco digging their heels in and saying no apparently, and I believe there's no contract in place for next year as of yet.

Could this really be F1's last Monaco Grand Prix? - The Race

The Monaco Grand Prix has no contract beyond 2022, for now, and its Formula 1 future has never seemed less assured

I have to disagree, this year I watched quali but made other plans for the Sunday, it's an absolute snooze fest every year and has become more of a procession and display of the cars running at 50% power than a race

Thinking about it.. I'm no expert but is Silverstone lacking in super long straights compared to some of the other circuits? It seemed like the action was across corners and a wide ranging area over the circuit. Compared to others recently where it's just a DRS pass snoozefest. Another reason it was more exciting no?

Silverstone has plenty of boring races too so don't let the excitement of a well timed safety car throw you.

For Silverstone is a tier below tracks like Spa, Montreal (which unfortunately had a poor race this year), etc..
