A contrivance? On the face of it, enforcing a two-stop minimum for the Monaco Grand Prix seems like one – although at the same time, a plot-generating device one might think nothing of, had Formula 1 ratified the idea 50 years ago.
The effect of ensuring every driver takes at least one additional stop is completely uncharted at this point. It could have cataclysmic ramifications for those involved in the race – equally, it has just as much chance of adding absolutely nothing.
