Vegas: A Modern Alternative to Monaco
The success of the Formula One race in Las Vegas highlights the need for Monaco to modernize or face being replaced. While Monaco offers a historic driving challenge, the race has become less exciting due to the cars having outgrown the circuit. In contrast, the Vegas race showcased thrilling racing, overtaking, and a glamorous backdrop. Monaco's special treatment and status in the past can no longer be justified, as other races like Singapore and Baku have successfully filled the glitz and glamour void. While Monaco should still be kept for its heritage and historic appeal, it needs to adapt to the demands of the modern era or risk losing its place in the Formula One calendar.
