After a “non-eventful” and “frustrating” 2024 Monaco Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton presents an idea to “spice it up”.
The 2024 Monaco Grand Prix was a pretty uneventful race, except for the early red flag due to Sergio Perez’s big crash.
After spending the whole race in P7. Lewis Hamilton agreed with everyone that the race was in fact ‘boring’.
“There’s not much more to add to what everyone said,” the Briton said.
“I think it was non-eventful. It’s not difficult. Frustrating? Pretty easy to be honest. We were driving seconds off the pace so it’s like, yes…”
Lewis added he was not happy with Mercedes’ initial tyre choice to start the race.
“I just wanted to start on the medium. I felt that something was going to happen at the beginning of the race and normally that would create an opportunity to switch over to the hards and go away to the end.

“But I think at the end of the day, everyone drove so slow that every tyre made it to the end so it didn’t make any difference.”
In the end, Lewis provided an idea on how to make Monaco more interesting.
“I don’t know how it felt watching but I’m sure people will fall asleep. People are saying it’s boring. I can only imagine. I mean, ultimately I think our tyres are just, they can do a whole race.
“So, two harder tyre compounds here and we’ve got to find ways to spice it up. Maybe mandatory three stops or something to spice it up a bit.
“Maybe more,” Hamilton concluded.
