What the fuck? What's the justification for that? Is it the FIA or something about the cars? If it's the latter that's off message and they should reconsider. If it's the FIA treating F1 as sacred that's business as usual.

Joking aside, it actually would be pretty good for carrying stuff besides dead bodies.
Like luggage and stuff. And the occasional dead body when the need arises...
Probably has as much interior space as a full sized SUV.
Basically a wagon on steroids.
It is actually kind of interesting.
Even if you do not want to start a death metal band.

I'll see if I can find anything on it. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just Monaco not wanting additional road closures.
EDIT: It's clearly not that, they run the Historic Grand Prix on the full course.
EDIT 2: I can't seem to find any actual justification aside from the FIA apparently just wanting to run Formula E on circuits between 1 and 2 miles long. The full course at Monaco is only lightly longer than that, so why they don't just run the full course and make it the series' marquee event is beyond me.

That's as lame as the NASCAR chute at Sears Point that cuts out the Carousel, the track's signature turn.
In other news, I had a cool event in Hollywood today and so, today in car spotting:
A gold wrapped C7 Corvette which was too much on a car that was already too much.
An almost duplicate of my old 914, even sounded like mine. Loud and gasping for air.
A genuine 930
The Munster's car on a flatbed being delivered to George Barris' shop.

Back in the 70's a buddy of mine bought one. On occasion, we would dress in our suits, he would drive while I laid in the back. We would pull up at stoplights, I would sit up and wave to cars next to us. Reactions were varied.

Miata/MX-5 if you want the middle-of-the-road, reliable option (each next generation trades fun for comfort).
Z3/Z4 if you want to trade reliability for comfort, speed and handling.
Corvette if you want speed and power.

Especially in the US, Corvette’s are also easy to get parts for, and all sorts of after market stuff is available specifically for them.

Ah, I forgot the Boxster. Mini-supercar experience, but running costs can be a pain.
I'm softy, but the Boxster is nice too.
If he has the means, the Honda S2000 is a blast to drive. (They tend to hold their value a lot better)
