Indeed, it's crazy.
In my opinion, the current spec cars are too big and too fast for this track. Even the drivers complain that they cannot practice or qualify properly because there is hardly any space for uninterrupted laps.
I'm not sure if the special "use three compounds" rule will lead to an exciting race.
It's likely that we'll watch yet another procession.
I doubt next year's spec cars will produce better racing, either.
Honestly, the track is no longer suited for modern F1.
At this point, it's a comical, nostalgic vanity affair for the principality and the FiA.
Still, driving the track requires a superhuman level of bravery, skill, and concentration.
For that reason alone, it's exciting to watch.
