Motor racing-Vasseur says classic F1 races must move with the times

For decades it was a given that Formula One and Monaco were made for each other but times have changed and some now argue that, like the action on the city streets, the showcase race is not moving as fast as others. There has been plenty of talk about Monaco contributing more to the show, and the Liberty Media-owned sport’s revenues, and reports that it could even be dropped from the calendar next year. “When a sponsor had to pick out a race on the calendar (to go to), it was ‘Ah, I want to go to Monaco’,” Alfa Romeo principal Frederic Vasseur told Reuters in an interview.
