Why Monaco 'madness' will be F1 at its best

Lewis Hamilton's recent offer to contribute to the design of the Miami Formula 1 circuit inevitably drew support, but setting aside the many practical limitations that constrain the design of any street track, there's another problem that means it's no forgone conclusion he would generate a track that's a hit with the fans.
