The Monte Carlo F1 circuit layout needs to be adapted for the 'long-term viability' of the Monaco GP, says Horner. 'If anybody came up with this track now and presented it, there's no way we'd race here.'
The Monaco Grand Prix circuit layout must be adapted for the venue’s “long-term viability” since overtakes are currently “virtually impossible”, says Red Bull Formula 1 team boss Christian Horner.First held in 1929, the famous street race has made efforts to modernise via the construction of a new pit facility, while for 2023 it has notably relinquished control of its oft-maligned TV broadcast production and handed over sponsorship and advertising after past conflicts with F1's own partners.
With Monaco now facing stiffer competition to remain on a packed F1 calendar against new and potentially lucrative deals for Liberty Media with Las Vegas, Miami and Qatar, there are increased calls from the paddock for the principality circuit to change to boost overtaking to future-proof itself. He said:"It's a unique event. If anybody came up with this track now and presented it, there's no way we'd race here. We race here because it's Monaco, because of the history, the legacy, the backdrop, everything, the glamour.
"The same points apply to all races, but some just have that extra value attached to them and certainly Monaco has that."Now, of course, facilities have changed dramatically. When you look at the pits now compared to where they were 10 years ago, or certainly 20 years ago, everything has improved.
