Monaco GP: Glitz, Glory... and Gridlock. Monaco’s Two Stop Sham!

Monaco GP: Glitz, Glory... and Gridlock. Monaco’s Two Step Sham! 🎙️ Monaco: Glitz, Glory… and Gridlock – This week on 2 Soft Compounds, Rick and Paul break down Formula 1’s most glamorous paradox: the Monaco Grand Prix. It’s a race that promises spectacle but often delivers a slow-motion chess match - and 2025 was no different.🏁 This week our hosts discuss the FIA’s mandatory two-stop experiment and why it may have sounded bold on paper, but in practice, it simply highlighted a painful truth: F1 cars have outgrown the streets of Monaco. 💡 The duo also highlight the moments that were worth celebrating, including Lando Norris shedding his reputation for mid-race wobbliness; Isack Hadjar impressing with a Racing Bulls strategy masterstroke and Lance Stroll’s continued struggles - even in clear air - added more weight to questions about his long-term place in the sport!🚨 And looking ahead to Barcelona, a new technical directive banning flexible wings could shake up the pecking order. Could this be Red Bull’s moment to strike back?
