Issue #669: Princes of Monaco

First off, this week, Formula E returned to the glitz and glamour of Monaco, with Motorsport Week on the ground covering the two surprise winners in the principality. Jack Oliver Smith and Fleur Rogerson were quay-side in Monaco to bring you all the action as Nyck de Vries ended his and Mahindra’s victory drought on Saturday, with Oliver Rowland reigniting his championship hopes with an unlikely victory on Sunday. Over in the United States, there is now just one week to go until the Indianapolis 500 and the contenders took to the famous banked oval this weekend to qualify. Kevin Dejewski was at the Brickyard to report on of the precursor to one of the highlights of the motorsport calendar. In our opinion piece this week, Kevin makes a strong argument for changes to the IndyCar Series’ full-course yellow system and outlines a likely solution. And sticking with IndyCar, James Phillips makes his case in Start Your Engines for why the American series is on the rise, and what the future could hold. Tereza ?erná makes her Motorsport Monday debut this week, covering the Nürburgring 24 Hours, and the exploits of a certain Max Verstappen, as he took on the aptly named ‘Green Hell’ for a chance at GT3 glory. We also have a double helping of two-wheel racing this week. WBSK had an action-packed round in the Czech Republic, while MotoGP continued its intriguing season in Spain, with Henry Cheal, Eden Hannegan and Luke Newman bringing you the lowdown. And, as always, we have all the news, views and stories in this week's edition of the most widely read weekly motorsport magazine in the world!
