Maybe Russell inspires FIA for 2026: 2 mandatory pit stops + 2 mandatory drive-through ?
The root cause: the current generation F1 cars don't belong there anymore. At a later age, our teenager clothes don't fit anymore for our progressively inflated bodies.

When Alonso encountered engine trouble I hoped that he would park on track and trigger a red flag. Would have changed the dynamics of this 78 laps IKEA parking lot queuing.

Keep in mind that, unlike Monaco, Spa-Francorchamps was dropped from the F1 schedule in 2028 and 2030.

Verstappen post-race:

"You can't race here anyway, so it doesn't matter what you do, one stop or 10 stops. Even at the end I was in the lead, but my tyres were completely gone, and you still can't pass. I think nowadays, with an F1 car, you can just pass a Formula 2 car around here. I get it, but I don't think it has worked. Honestly, we were almost doing Mario Kart! Then we'll have to install bits on the car, maybe you could throw bananas around [and create] a slippery surface."
