Domenicali said the series has spoken to the event promoters regarding making changes to the circuit, which has run on the streets of Monte-Carlo since 1929.

“I think that [over] 75 years, they want[ed] to try to do something different,” he said. “I mean, we are talking with the city, but as you can imagine, it’s not easy at all. So let’s enjoy the event that has been, at the end of the day, fantastic.”

“The Monaco event has been amazing,” Domenicali stressed. “We never had so many people, so many boats, so much attention. That means that the event itself is what Formula 1 wants, and that is really great.”

My suggestion for Monaco: the drivers are positioned equidistantly around the track and then everyone races 78 laps of Monaco. The starting position is also each drivers individual finish line/timing line.

There is no SC, only VSC (to avoid bunching up the pack) and red flags (obv.). After the red flag each driver is put back in their previous position by the VSC timing delta.

So if you try to block ppl, they end up in front of you.

After 10 laps, you'd just have everyone stuck behind a Sauber or Haas with that slow car in "first" place and no-one able to overtake.

But you could have a format of first person to get within a second of the car in front is the winner, and they immediately retire. Then next person to catch up is in second, and they retire, etc. Probably wouldn't work either I guess..
