There have been many complaints about the Monaco Grand Prix. Some people feel that the race through the streets of Monte Carlo no longer belongs on the calendar. Others again feel that you cannot take the race off the calendar but that adjustments are needed. Max Verstappen says after the race that he would like to be involved in talks for adjustments to the circuit.

During the race, Verstappen was already complaining about how boring it was in the car. He drove four seconds off maximum speed as George Russell was busy saving his tyres. Overtaking is almost impossible in Monaco, so the Dutchman was behind the Briton in frustration.

After the Grand Prix, there was a lot of criticism. Many people agreed with Verstappen's assessment. Hamilton, for instance, stated that the fans "must have fallen asleep at home". In total, only four overtakes were made during the 78 laps through Monaco.
