Formula 1’s hangover from a not-so-successful experiment to spice up another slow Monaco Grand Prix was still being felt at the next race in Spain this weekend.

Despite the star-studded group of attendees, the Monaco Grand Prix often is far from an exciting race. The nature of modern F1 cars means passing is nearly impossible in the tight, twisting corners with barriers just inches away from cars at almost every point of the Circuit de Monaco.

Monaco Grand Prix will take place on Sunday, and it's generally considered the biggest event on the Formula 1 schedule. Circuit de Monaco winds through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo, where Ferrari's Charles Leclerc grew up.

Although native-Monegasque Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc tried to temper expectations for the weekend, the Ferraris were in a good place in Monaco. With no fast corners, the team could run the car low to the ground without risking a penalty, and this year's car excels at low-speed corners, of which Monaco has plenty.

F1, the FIA and the 10 teams agreed to introduce two mandatory stops for this year’s Grand Prix to try and improve the on-track spectacle.

The one thing learned from the FIA’s mandatory two-pitstop rule at Monaco on May 25th, is that it didn’t make the intended impact on the race.

Because overtaking is rare, the race can be dull. So the sport has ruled that two pit stops are now mandatory in a bid to spice things up.
