    Does sport have an obligation to be entertainment? Monaco is the most gruelling feat of endurance for drivers in F1. Is sporting excellence not enough?

      Yes. If it wasn't entertaining as a whole, people wouldn't watch and the sponsor money would dry up, then the sport would die.

      I would argue that the whole point of any sport is entertainment, either for the watchers or participants. And I'm not sure the drivers had any fun either.

        Most drivers will say that Monaco is one of the highlights of the season, as it is a pure test of driving skill to keep out of the barriers for 78 laps. It’s just that doesn’t televise well.

          Fair enough. I don't pay much attention to driver interviews and such, but most of what I've heard and read has been frustration. Probably that's what makes the best headlines..
