I like that different tracks have uniquely different or more exacerbated elements like sand, wind, or even where tire rubber is with respect to the racing line. Monaco’s trait is that qualification is incredibly important, someone starting p6 at Monaco has significantly less chance of winning than most any other race.

Having anything impact the track that is not unique to it is just a poor showing. Signs, street pipe covers, etc. should never be a thing of mention. The current impact of them is random and entirely nothing can be done by the teams to not be randomly succumbed to. While the ongoings of the track are not controlled, they are controlled to an extent, rules should be there to create a more controlled environment both from a setup and during race context such that altogether previously unseen circumstances do not put one out of the race. This sport has been on for many years, and has moved significantly forward. That examples where signage can be in a place that is torn off and end up in vehicles or even that tear offs can be thrown out at random and again end up in vehicles can be listed and all each with seemingly basic answers, it does beg the question who is running the show and what are they on about.

Norris is spot on.
