a calendar of Formula 1 without him Monaco Grand Prix it is practically impossible to imagine. This iconic street circuit has brought us closer to great stories in motorsports, but it is said and it is said that in 2023 there is some risk for a subject completely unrelated to what happens on the track.
This is not to say that the Monaco Grand Prix will not take place. However, yes could be affected by a dispute between the workers of the French National Federation of Mines and Energy and the government of President Emmanuel Macron.
It turns out and highlights that this body sent a statement and, incidentally, a warning about a possible boycott of different massive events. On the list is the Monaco GP and following along with the sport, we also find Roland Garros.
Why would they affect the Monaco Grand Prix?
Formula 1 is about to end a looong hiatus after the Australian Grand Prix and busy weeks ahead, including Monaco. So That date would be one of those chosen by the unions to protest against a reform proposed by Macron.
The intention is that no changes are applied to workers’ pensions and the president of France asked for some time to respond. According to information published by Brandthe same unions issued a statement warning of possible blackouts.
“We cannot move on to anything else until that reform is repealed. Macron promised 100 days to appease and we promise him 100 days of action and anger. In May, do what you want! The Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix, the Roland Garros tournament, the Avignon festival, could end up in the dark! We won’t let him get away!“, indicates the text.
The Monaco Grand Prix is scheduled for May 26-28 in the Formula 1 calendar. Also, to end the sporting activity of the month, we have Roland Garros in tennis. The second Grand Slam of the year will take place from May 28 to June 11 and therefore entered the list.
The reality is that everything is a rumor and it is unknown if the power outages will take place. Also, it is worth mentioning again that there is no talk of a cancellation of the racebut it will be necessary to follow up on the subject and on previous events to find out if the unions comply with their warnings.
