Lewis Hamilton has taken credit for a rule change that will be implemented at the Monaco Grand Prix for the upcoming season.
The Federation Internationale de l’Automobile [FIA] announced their introduction of two mandatory pit stops at the Circuit de Monaco.
drivers are already ordered to enter the pits at least once in order for two different tyre compounds to be used.
However, the Monaco Grand Prix now requires an extra pit stop in a move that has been introduced to ‘improve the sporting spectacle’.
The WMSC [World Motor Sport Council] reviewed a proposal regarding the implementation of a mandatory 2-stop strategy [in both wet and dry conditions] for the Monaco GP, with the primary intent of improving the sporting spectacle of this race.
Following recent discussions in the F1 Commission, a specific requirement for the Monaco GP has been approved mandating the use of at least three sets of tyres in the race, with a minimum of two different tyre compounds to be used if it’s a dry race.”
But if you go back and look at some of the transcripts of previous years, I’ve been mentioning the two stop for years
I think that Grand Prix is a great Grand Prix, but the race… There’s more to offer in the race maybe with more than one pit stop.”
The Monaco Grand Prix is widely considered to be the best race in the Formula 1 calendar.
Drivers face tight corners and spaces on a track boasting an impressive backdrop that consists of the picturesque Monte Carlo.
Hamilton has won three times in Monaco and could claim his fourth with Ferrari when the Grand Prix returns on May 23.
