Formula One technical chief Ross Brawn has responded to criticisms of the Monaco Grand Prix by saying it should not be compared to other races on the calendar due to the nature of the circuit.
The Monte Carlo race is the most prestigious race in an F1 season but rarely produces a thrilling spectacle. After the most recent edition, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen all said the race was one of the most boring in the championship's recent history.
Hamilton, who stressed that he remains a big fan of the race and the venue, suggested F1 bosses look at ways to tweak the Monaco GP format so that the spectacle of the race matches the hype of the event itself.
