Hard disagree.

How can you disagree? Did we watch the same race?

I tolerate Monaco because it's been a cornerstone track for F1 since the beginning and "less about the race, more about the spectacle" as they say. Imola doesn't have the spectacle, and it doesn't have a competitive race. The cars can only pass reliably on a single corner. They are too long to make it cleanly through the chicanes. Unless the cars shrink, I'd rather F1 not spend another weekend here.
