So with a reverse grid from qualifying, how do you get drivers to push their hardest in qualifying?
If you can solve that, then Monaco might actually be interesting to watch (if the GP race is reverse grid).
Maybe the sprint is effectively qualifying for the GP; the finishing order from the sprint is reversed for the GP race?
Since points are awarded for the sprint, there's incentive to finish in the top 8, even if that means you start farther back in the GP.
I ignore Monaco altogether. What a boring place to race.
I thought my loathing for that circuit would be forever unrivaled until last weekend. Madring is even worse, somehow.

How is this not theft and equally illegal as the tariffs in the first place?

I use CoMaps. It uses open street maps. Can run completely offline. Zero tracking.
I’m convinced that there’s nothing that can redeem it. The only reason it’s still on the calendar is that the teams and FOM love going to Monaco (and all the oligarchs that are VIPs). It’s a terrible ~~race~~ parade and has been for many decades. They’ve tried so many things to spice it up and they’ve all failed miserably. Bottom line: it’s a week long party around the most boring F1 parade of the year.
The two pit stops “made it so unpredictable” according to people before the race, but how different was the finishing order from qualifying? It just made RB and Williams run 5-10 seconds off the pace for most of the parade. Epic fail.
My best idea to make it fun to watch is to put all the drivers in go karts. Don’t even bring F1 cars. They’re too big to facilitate any kind of overtaking. Instead of armco barriers, straw bales. But then it wouldn’t be F1 (just the drivers).
Make this the last Monaco race. I beg that every year. The only way to fix it is to take it off the calendar. Go back to Portugal, instead. That was a fun race to watch.
