Lewis Hamilton once revealed his thoughts on a Sprint race being held at the Monaco Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton previously voiced his concerns regarding the addition of a Sprint race at the Monaco Grand Prix, emphasizing that the iconic track requires a new approach rather than simply adding more races. He highlighted the challenges of overtaking on the narrow streets of Monaco and expressed a desire for a wider track, which is unlikely due to the location's constraints.

The announcement of the 2027 F1 calendar, which includes Monaco as one of ten Sprint races, has sparked discussions about the increasing number of races in the season. With a total of 34 races scheduled over 39 weeks, concerns about driver fatigue have been raised, especially compared to the 17 races during Hamilton's rookie season two decades ago.
