During the Monaco Grand Prix, after first Racing Bulls completed their stops with their drivers working together, Williams did the same. First Alexander Albon completed his pit stops, and then the Thai driver slowed the pack down so Carlos Sainz could do the same.

At one point, George Russell had enough, and cut the Nouvelle Chicane to overtake the Williams. For this incident, he received a drive through penalty.

According to the Red Bull team principal, the real problem is with the circuit, but F1 should not just live with overtakes being impossible in Monte-Carlo.

Horner believes that teams also can't for taking advantage of the new rules introduced for this year's Grand Prix. "Was it what was intended? No. But it’s a consequence. If you introduce something else, teams will always find a way to try and maximise it. And that’s what came out of it."
