[Daniel Valente] Monaco’s updated track map for 2026 has ZERO Straight Mode zones

I'll never stop asking for Monaco to be a special kart race / 1960s mechanical grip cars only. Everyone in the same vehicle.

Oh, no.

We might have no overtakes! /s

With the (slightly) smaller cars and lower general reliability there's a reasonable chance of it being a bit less of a procession than usual, I'm not holding my breath though.

Build a temporary high-speed floating section that comes off the tunnel chicane and goes around the superyachts.

Monaco sucks. Nothing new here.

Maaaaaybe with the drivers having choice of where to deploy overtake mode it can be marginally less precessional? Not holding much hope

Little nervous that a less flat out quali will be a little boring too

I fear that Monaco is too energy-starved for Overtake Mode to make a noticeable difference.
