The current modern F1 cars are 2 metres wide, that's just silly, although I dislike Formula E due to the Stock Car antics of the drivers it was a better race, there were genuine overtakes
Which is another reason that there *are* overtakes. Formula E mark 2 cars are 1.7m wide. SO that's 60cm of track space more than F1. In Monaco that's substantial. It's just boring when you know that even a driver like Hamilton has no chance of passing the car in front unless they wave him past. Any other track and you know he would have been past Gasly in a few laps.
The commentators even had to resort to "well, of course this is a track that takes huge concentration, so we might see some excitement towards the end of the race...." when the reality is that the car in the front effectively controls the pace, ensure the tyres don't wear too much and no-one is going to put a foot wrong unless it rains.
It's a long way away from Fangio in the 50s when the cars were about 1.4m wide and the top speed was about 80mph, and yet the track has barely changed.
