Max Verstappen has warned that introducing any further gimmicks to spice up the F1 Monaco G💝rand Prix would risk turning the race into “Mario Kart”.

In a bid to🌃 spice up the show, F1 imposed a mandatory two pit stop ruꦺle for all 20 drivers.

The race r♕emained a dull affair with very few o🙈vertakes.

The rule had u𒊎nintended consequences for some teams, such as the Racing Bulls and Willia🉐ms, who deliberately backed up the pack with one of their drivers to aid their teammates.

It even led George Russell to intent🅰ionally cut the chicane to get ahead of Alex Albon before being hit with a drive-through penalty.

Spඣeaking after the race in Monaco to Sky Sports, Verstappen declꦦared the rule simply didn’t work.

“Yeah, but you can’t race here anyway, 💟so it doesn’t matter what you do,” Verstappen said. “One-stop, 10 stops. Even at the end, I was in the lead, but my tyres were completely gone, and you stilꦅl can’t pass. Nowadays with an F1 car you can just pass an F2 car.

“I get it. I don’t think it has worked.”

Verstappen was then asked if further tweaks should be📖 made to improve 🍒the show in Monaco.

Verstappen dism𒉰issed any other gimmicks, likening any other changes to th♔e popular video game ‘Mario Kart’.

“Honestꦗly, we’re almost then doing Mario Kart,” Verstap꧅pen added.

“We would have to install bits on the car, and maybe you can ಌthrow bananas ar🔴ound. I don’t know. Slippery surface.”

Verstappen: Red Bull didn’t have the pace

Verstappen ultimately finished fourth, behind168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri.

He led the race heading into the final few l💜aps after Red Bull kept him ou🐼t waiting for a possible Safety Car.

Verstappen felt Red Bull didn’t have the pace to ♋compete with the top three.

“There was nothing to lose. I had a big gap behind,” Verstappen explained. “Like I said, I could have done four stops and still the same position. For me, that’s Monaco 🅘for you. Qualifying is super important. Normally, when nothing bad happens you don’t really move forward and if you just do normal pit stops you just keep your position and it’s exactly what happened today.

“I don’t think we had the pace anyway to fight the guys ahead because every time I tried to stay with them my tyres were wearing a bit too much and graining a bit too much. P4 is definitely the maximum we could d♑o.”
