Mandatory two pit-stop law fell flat in GP
Calls for layout change to allow overtaking

Formula One team principals have called for layout changes to be considered at the Monaco Grand Prix to address the inability of cars to overtake after efforts to enliven the race with mandatory pit stops fell flat on Sunday.

McLaren’s Lando Norris took victory in Monte Carlo and was, despite the two pit-stop rule, in control throughout, Only two passes were made on track in 78 laps and drivers including Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who finished fourth, and Mercedes’ George Russell, who was 11th, dismissed the rule change as all but pointless.
