The answer - overtake them, just as you would have to in order to gain a
place without the new rule !
 
Yes, not easy at Monaco. but never has been whatever the regs.
 

 
Meh.
 
I'm glad they tried something new to spice up a race that has been a
procession for decades.
 
Did it work? No, not really.

Yeah, it was a nice idea but didn't pan out. I liked Brundle's suggestion
he made a couple of times during commentary, that the first stop must be
taken in first third of race and, iirc, second stop in last third of race,
something like that. But, then again, that still wouldn't solve the real
problem; the cars are too damn big!

I did enjoy the race weekend, though. I watched all three practice
sessions as well as qualy and the race, which I very rarely do, and by the
end of the race I certainly felt like I'd had my money's worth out of the
Monaco GP.
