This is the absolute doomsday scenario for Formula 1 at the Monaco GP!

In an attempt to shake up the field and artificially create more excitement, it has been decided to mandate that each driver makes at least two pit stops. Whether that will make the race more attractive? It's very doubtful. The teams are actually seriously considering a scenario that Formula 1 is hoping will not occur.

In Monaco, tyre wear is minimal, so sometimes they don't really need to be changed. With this in mind, Beat Zehnder, Director of Signature Programs & Operations at Sauber, predicts what will happen if there's a crash in the first lap prompting a safety car. Not an unrealistic idea at all.

The Swiss is convinced that the entire field will come in for the first stop and one round later for the second. Therefore, he says about the mandatory two-stopper: "I don't think it's right. If a safety car comes here, probably the whole field will do this. And then we are in the same situation as last year and then we will be talking about three stops," Zehnder told GPblog among others.

If there's no safety car, he doesn't expect the field to opt for the two quick stops in succession. "Because last year, finishing the entire race on one set of tyres was only possible because the lap times were about five seconds slower than expected."

"So just swapping tyres twice at the beginning without a safety car, I don't think it will pay off. You're going to lose your tyres and you'll have to deal with degradation. Last year was different," Zehnder said.
