Back in 2017 the Monaco Grand Prix made 90 million Euros over four days for the Principality. It will be a lot more than that now.
You might not like it, but the 72-hour annual party for some of the world's wealthiest and most flashy individuals with some fast cars in the background in a glamorous Mediterranean tax haven with a famous casino brings in the cash. Lots and lots of cash.
There is zero chance of it disappearing from the sporting calendar.

I didn't say I wanted it gone. It's still cool, it just isn't the pure racing test that comes with a proper track
-
The excitement of Monaco on the track is the practice sessions and then the qualifying. Short of a SC the race is just a procession.

I still remember Liam's audacious pass in F2, Monaco F2 GP 2021

Eye-catching because of how rare it was.
These F1 cars are so wide, unless someone makes a mistake, it is impossible to overtake

Good to see the F1 principals pushing for some track updates. I'd assumed it wouldn't be possible on a street circuit in an old city, but maybe there are some possibilities.

Liam gets knocked out of the points by Alonso 2 laps from the finish
. But he gained 2 spots compared to his starting position -
@canefan was it 3 DNFs?
Two I think? He ran a good race, but could not afford missteps by his team over timing of pitstops and tyre changes. After qualifying outside the points positions he had a good chance to win a point but just couldn't hang on with old tyres against Alonso with fresh tyres. I don't know why they didn't change his tyres when everyone else came in during the safety car

. But he gained 2 spots compared to his starting positionDecent race speed too. The moves on Albon were good.. the one on Bearman not so good
Generally fast all weekend apart from Q2. Practise was 6th, 10th & 10th. Q1 he was 8th
He needs to nail a qualifying. He looks like he’ll hold his position if he can start a few places higher

Not sure why they put Max on new hards during the safety car. He was always going to struggle.
With only a handful of laps left he should of stayed
out on his current tyres, he would have also moved up a few positions (I think?) by not pitting when those ahead of him pitted.But then we would have missed out on him throwing the toys out of the pram...

Quali is crucial. Then he can conserve his tyres instead of burning through them trying to pass those ahead of him
