Monaco F1

I would like to be there for this weekends race, to see Ham take the win, or one of the rookies. Verstappen was quite fast in practice, perhaps his first win?

Always a good race.

HAM on pole

HAM 1st
ROS 2nd
VET 3rd
RAI 4th
BOT 5th

I'd like to see Verstappen and Sainz way up the field too - here's to a stunning quali session.

I'd love to see Ham and ROS tangle turn one, and a total surprise like Sainz win it ahead of VErstappen and a McLaren. One can dream.

Side note: I think I like Sainz. The entire media is at Verstappen's feet but Sainz's done as well if not better. I met his dad once (rally WC) and he seemed like a super humble nice guy, so there..

I think the only one that can spoil the party up front is vettel! my prediction is a slow parade with Ros, Vet, Ham. With vettel overtaking Hamilton by pitting a lap early.

A parade of disabled vets during Memorial Day would be more enjoyable than this parade everyone is hoping some disaster would happen to spice things up. At least the Memorial Day parade will have some real heroes. Just saying...

I think Rosberg is feeling the pressure and Ham is showing real composure - he almost broke into 1:14!. Good to see the Red Bull back in the mix. Can't wait for the race!

IMO the races at Monaco are always interesting, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. There is usually some drama of
one sort or the other to liven things up.

The first course of many a race fan's favorite day. I'm planning on mimosas with a breakfast buffet around 6:00, then ease into opening ceremonies for The Greatest Spectacle. Probably nap most of the way through the Moonshine Delivery Contest in Charlotte.

Are you sure?

WTF was Mercedes thinking?! Who's doing the strategy for Mercedes? Some ex-Ferrari guy?

Oh, for once I want to really, really see the post-race interviews. Too bad NBC has cut away to futbol.

On the bright side, $150 million dries up a lot of tears.

Yeah, even my kids were scratching their heads!!!!! What the hell kinda call was that???!!! Was that for drama's sake? I was not able to see any post race interviews, so I don't know the real story of the stop...

Depending on what internet browser you use on a windows machine and your ad blocking it's here on vipleague.se
I'm watching it and they usually replay the F1 races every 2 hours throughout the day.

If you do get the flash stream feed and they ask for downloads or updates don't do it.. just click the full screen button in the bottom right of the window and then it works.

I don't know how a MAC would work for this. Probably better.
