Explained: New F1 Monaco Grand Prix rule - and Lewis Hamilton's verdict
Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen among💦 voices to comment on fresh F1 Monaco GP꧃ rule

This weekend’s F1 Monaco Grand Prix features a new rule which should add a✃n extra layer of drama.
The event will become a mandatory two-stop grand prix in a significant change for F1 teams and drivers.
Usually, at a dry Monaco Grand Prix, the only requir⛄ement for drivers is to use two slick tyre compounds which is achievable with one pit stop.
This weekend, the rule-change means drivers must use three tyre compounds 🍸so must stop in the pits twice.
It is expected to𝓡 cause more excitement and drama in the tight street circuit, where i🧔t is difficult to overtake.
What is the penalty for breaking new rule at F1 Monaco Grand Prix?

“Unless the race is suspended and cannot be restarted, fail⭕ure to comply with these requirements will result in the disqualification of the relevant driver from the race results,” explains Article 30.5 of the Sporting Regulations🍌.
“For the race in 🔯Monaco, if the race is suspended and cannot be restarted, 30 seconds will be added to the elapsed time of any driver who did not, when required to do so, use at least two specifications of dry-weather tyre during the race, or who did not use at least three sets of tyres of any specification during the race.
“Furthermor✅e, an additional 30 seconds will be added to the elapsed time of any driver who used only one set of tyres of any specification during the race.”
What does Lewis Hamilton think about new rule at F1 Monaco Grand Prix?
“It will be interesting,” 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamlton said. “I have no idea how it will affect us.
“ꦦI am glad it is something new. Every year we come to Monaco and we get the s🍒ame result - a one-stop.
“This time we’re forced to do two, and we have to decide whether t🍎o do it ༺early or late in the race.
“It throws a spanner into tꦿhe mix. Hope𒀰fully it makes it more exciting than it already is.”
F1 drivers have their say on Monaco Grand Prix two-stop rule
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri said: “It wi✤ll still be important to qualify well, that will help your race a lot.
“It wil꧃l be a different race around here. We won’t see much overtaking but, from a strategic point of view, it will be busy.”
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen said: “It can go both ways. It could be straightforward or go craz🦩y if Safety Cars come into play.
“It will spice it up. Norma൲lly with a one-stop, you have a good pitstop, everything is fine, and you just ༒drive to the end.
“This can c♓reate someth🍨ing different with people gambling and guessing.”
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris said: “Monaco is special because you focus on qualify𒅌ing.
“It doesn’t change a lot, it chang🍰es Sunday, but not before that.”
Andrea Kimi Antonelli said: “It can bring more action to the track because you can differentiaꦉte strategies, you can play more with tyres and pitstops.”
George Russell said: “It is definitely an opport💎unity.”
Fernando Alonso said: “It gives hope after Saturday night. Normally in Monaco on Saturday, the positions are lꦚocked.”
Alex Albon said: “We are doing this to shake it up. The worry is that💫 it does not shake it up, and everybody goes to the pits, then uses Lap 2, 3 and 4 to push. Talk to every strategist, we don’t know how it will play out yet.
“The biggest tওhing for us, in the midfield, is how teammates help teamm🐲ates.”
