Norris added: “Overtaking has by no means been good in Monaco, ever. So, I do not know why individuals have such a excessive expectation. However I additionally suppose Method 1 shouldn’t flip into only a present to entertain individuals. It is a sport. It is who can race the very best, who can qualify the very best.
“All the things was about yesterday. That is the best way it has been since regardless of the first yr – 50, 60 years in the past. So, the very last thing I need is manufactured racing, and we undoubtedly have to steer clear of that and do a greater job with vehicles, with tyres.”
Championship chief Piastri mentioned: “It undoubtedly made it a bit extra tense at a couple of factors. You needed to push extra at sure factors to form of get better the protection automotive home windows to different vehicles round you, or put your self exterior of another person’s security automotive window. So there have been some strategic parts concerned. However in the end, on the entrance, I do not suppose it modified a complete lot.
“It might have been fairly a special story if there was a purple flag with 5 laps to go and Max would have received. I am certain if we hold this going sooner or later, finally a end result like that may occur. Is that what we need to see? I do not know. However on the entrance, I do not suppose it modified an enormous quantity this weekend.”
McLaren group principal Andrea Stella mentioned: “The race was attention-grabbing when it comes to what number of eventualities wanted to be thought of.
“The principle limitation stays the truth that you can’t overtake. That is fairly structural as a limitation. I’m not certain precisely how this may be modified, could be modified, simply just by imposing a sure variety of pit stops.”
Stella mentioned he was “” to see whether or not the brand new guidelines subsequent yr, which introduces vehicles which might be 10 centimetres narrower than this yr with a brand new type of engine, make a distinction.
“I might hope that this modification of the vehicles will make overtaking doable, even a minimum of when you’re three seconds sooner, as a result of in the intervening time in case you are three seconds sooner, nonetheless you can’t overtake,” Stella mentioned.
“However this has very a lot to do with the scale of the automotive, with the pace of the automotive and the grip, which signifies that the braking zones are anyhow very, very quick. There’s simply not materially the area in braking.”
Mercedes group principal Toto Wolff mentioned: “We tried one thing, we tried an experiment with two-stop, did not change something within the consequence.”
Wolff mentioned F1 ought to contemplate introducing a rule to stop groups utilizing one automotive to again up the sphere to benefit one other driver, as each Racing Bulls and Williams did on Sunday.
However Ferrari group principal Frederic Vasseur mentioned such a rule can be “unattainable” to police.
Hamilton added: “It is a very, very troublesome monitor. You clearly cannot overtake. However nonetheless, a tremendous spectacle and a tremendous location. So many individuals. I’ve by no means seen so many individuals right here. It is insane.
“And to drive it on a single lap, it is unbelievable. So, the Friday and Saturday is unbelievable. And the Sunday is form of the day that you really want off, nearly.”
