Former racing driver Damon Hill believes the Monaco Grand Prix should definitely stay on the calendar. The 62-year-old Briton wrote this in his column for The Telegraph, adding that the race in the principality is the ultimate test for most Formula 1 drivers.
Many Formula 1 fans were cheering on the sofa on Sunday when it was announced that it was going to rain. The wet road surface made for spectacular and chaotic events at the Monaco circuit.

Hill on Monaco

Every year there seems to be debate about Monaco's continued existence on the calendar of motorsport's premier class. If it is up to Hill, the Monaco Grand Prix will stay on the calendar for a long time to come.
"To a racing driver, Monaco is quite simply the ultimate test. It’s between you, your car, and the track. It is the most technically difficult, courage-invoking, concentration-sapping, eye-widening roller coaster ride in our sport. Yes, the race is sometimes boring to watch on a Sunday, but that is because the real race is on a Saturday."
