Formula-1 2018

Cool place, but maybe should be run like a rally. Race against the clock, because there really isn't any way to race against one another.

but that's Monaco, there's no passing can be done unless you are driving the mercedes lapping an under-power sauber or marussia like couple seasons ago.

hamilton complains the race is boring because he's not winning... not the first time he's being a whining kid... do you see him complaining when he was winning...? no

Alonso.... basically he's been having boring race for the last couple seasons.... with that under-power honda powered last 3 seasons, and the non-competitive mclaren chassis this year...

on top of that... do you think Ricciardo had a boring race?

even he led from start to the flag... his race is the most complicated with his engine problem, once he's more than couple secs ahead and couple laps later it's only couple of tenth....

and look at verstappen, start from dead last and climb all the way to 9th...

a gain of 11 places in the "no-way-to-pass circuit"...


at one point, I am amazed by how sainz gives space to hulkenberg to pass him then shut the door on verstappen right after...

amazing team work and skills..


do i find monaco boring...? prolly not...

axmea?

So much whining from the losers of this boring race. LOL

"Extremely boring. Without a safety car, without yellow flags, the sport needs to think a little bit about the show because this is very disappointing. Probably the most boring race ever in Formula One. We probably need to give something to the fans at the end of the race just to pay the ticket back a little." 'Lonso.

"It wasn't really racing. We were just cruising around from lap six, literally cruising. If that was exciting for you to watch, no problem." Lewis.

pretty sure Ricciardo will stay at RB next season...

only at Red Bull he can be the 1st driver or at least equal treatment.

Well everyone knows that the race in Monaco is usually won at qualifying and not on race day.

That is why Kimi was so upset last year as the Ferrari principals gave the win to Vettel messing up his pit strategy to put Vettel in front of him at the last few laps of the race.

I admit I love watching the car so close to the barriers, but usually the race is awful processional which gets boring. Make it about an hour long and that would be better. Bring back the BMW M1 race with some F1 drivers in the morning.

Monaco is a charity event waiting to happen. Its not a race so lets not call it one. Either upgrade and change enough to allow passing outside the tunnel or re-work the event. It is utterly boring as a race. its only exciting during qualy / the start or during a crash.

Monaco is a spectacle, glitz and glamour. The race is nothing more than an exhibition. It still considered a bucket list race to when because of its history and prestige. The big three spectacles are; the Indy 500, Lemans and Monaco.

I definitely agree its the place for the taste of luxury, fine wine, nice cars, fancy hotels, millionaires boat club in the marina!

Best of all the women on bikinis sun bathing on expensive boats what a spectacle!
Did you say there was a race? I was busy watching something else.lol

Ricci might avoid the grid penalty for this race - http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/124...grid-penalties

anyway.... "passing" has been absent from F1 for at lesst 5-6 seasons now....

I am surprised people bring it up particularly at Monaco....

I went every year from the late '80s until 2013 or whatever year the new hybrid era started. They sound like crap and really took away much of the excitement. My analogy is like hearing Jimi Hendrix play an acoustic guitar. He's still good but much of the fire is gone. After hearing those screaming Ferrari V-12s and later V-10s revving to 19K these new cars just don't have that visceral punch. You could actually feel each gearshift in your gut. Our seats were at the hairpin and the backfires on the downshifts sounded like cannons. I really miss that.

Meant to post this earlier. So who will be the First one this year to sign the "Wall of Fame??"

DLSTR

The "Wall of Blame' Champ will be Stroll. He does nothing and does nothing else but blame his team LOL
