Well, congrats to Sergio! Way to go.

The only thing I would do away with is the idiocy of celebrities in attendance. For example: Simone Ashley from Bridgerton refusing to even speak with Brundle. She couldn't even be bothered to say it herself, had to hide behind a publicist guy. The only reason I knew her name was because Martin said it, no idea who she is or what she does but she certainly thinks highly of herself. I was watching this past weekend and thought I saw several areas where they could widen. The chicane by swimming pool is pretty tight, nouveau chicane is too tight, last corner before start/finish straight is too tight. Seems like if they could push barriers back a bit here and there and it may be better. |
Yeah widen the Monaco race track a car width and add some nice grass run offs.

It's history, all too easy in this day and age of everything bright, shiny and new is better to forget the past Once it's gone it's gone and motorsport and F1 will be a much duller world without it Without the race the Triple Crown becomes unobtainable :( |

Weren't those new grandstands out in the water this past week? On way down to the swimming pool out on a dock. |

For sure one day someone or some company will stop these races just to chase a few extra $'s :( |
I remember when the pool was added. Who approved that one? I sure a lot of money was involved.

have history too, but they aren't real races monaco is a game of follow the leader where having the fastest car and the best driver does not matter it is the antithesis of a race remember not that long ago when Ricky Riccardo was way down on power, several seconds per lap slower than even the back markers? He still led and won the "race" because he blocked anyone who tried to pass what a joke that was they need to figure out a way to make it possible to actually race on the racetrack, or just make it an annual event for the fans but with no points |
While the weather added an element of suspense to the Monaco race, for me the race was still a yawner. With Alonso holding up the entire field so he could preserve his tires being the biggest disappointment.
When the race is a bore, and the win is based on pit strategy, it makes for a forgettable race. The biggest excitement was Mick Schumacher breaking his car in half. That’s twice now this season, right (Saudi during qualifying, and now Monaco). -rb |
This next race in Baku is much more exciting for me. Amazing to see the cars fly down those streets.

As quoted from Magnussen... "For all those years, our team was spread out over the world - the US, two places in Italy, one in England, so very spread out. In terms of communication, it makes it easier when you can just go to mate's desk and have a chat. "And of course, the cars shows that too. So it's in a good place Haas are heading in." This is why a fragmented F1 team located in different parts of the world with different time zones will never challenge for race wins The race ends at the track, not starts at the track |

That’s excellent -rb |
Why do the news sites keep talking about scratching Monaco? Jeezus, give it a rest. If Monaco goes, then you might as well scratch all of the European races and merge with Indycar and complete the conversion to a spec series while you're at it.
