Monaco needed something outside of being a tax haven to set itself apart.

Apparently it’s a combo of a religious holiday falling on that Thursday (so it was easiest to close the roads then) and the royalty, so yeah, file this under “Monaco wants to be unique.”

The one unique remnant is the other advertisements lining the circuit that aren’t the usual F1 partners. Takes you back to the old days before that got standardized.

They should do qualifying normally on Saturday then be forced to race Formula E cars on Sunday.

I read a thing that said it was a holiday on Friday so they didn't have practice that day so it could be observed

It's possible to read this as F1 drivers competing against formula e drivers in their respective machines, which would be a terrifying bloodbath with a 20+s lap time difference between the two formulae.

I have a very stupid petty and specific reason to not like the french Cast Iron pan users so let me have Monaco so I can root for my man.

In Australia one of the Supercars support categories is called Aussie Racing Cars, which is a smaller version of a Supercar.



My point is, F1 should do something like that. Qualify in the full size car like you said, but then run a mini version of it during the race.

It's a historical reason, iirc it used to be that the Monaco GP fell on the same weekend as Ascension Day. This is no longer the case, but they kept the Thursday free practice schedule for some reason, probably because there's all the ancillary stuff that goes on like the fashion show.

I've been reading F1 forums in the deep web and someone mentioned that Lewis is the first driver not to receive the 100 WDC points for reaching 100 pole positions. Is anyone in the mainstream media going to look into this?
