Well folks, it's time for the most boring F1 race on the calendar (in my opinion). Despite the occasion and a quite spectacular location, the race is one I don't go out of my way to watch.

and he's a far cry from the "maybe it's because I'm black" Lewis of a few years ago

Can't believe that Verstappen got a penalty for being brake tested by a struggling Grosjean!

The more I think about Sunday's Merc cock-up, the more I come to the inescapable conclusion that Monaco is nothing more than a demonstration race, which, more often than not, is won on the Saturday

Think about it - if Monaco wasn't on the calendar and submitted a proposal to Bernie, what would it sound like?

"Well, yes, its a bit narrow and twisty, which means the only way to overtake is in the pits. There's very little run-off areas, which means that any mistake is punished with a DNF at worst, or lost bodywork at best. Ah - its a bit short as well, but I guess that means the spectators will see the cars more often. Straight? - ah, yes - its not very straight and not very long...."

There must be a lot of money going Bernie's way, because the tradition side of the argument clearly doesn't hold much credence (several other "traditional" circuits have been dropped over the years)

For me though, if a car from the back of the grid can prevent a car from the front of the grid from getting past, its not a race, its a procession and if its not a race, its pointless as a competitive event. How many times have we seen a potentially exciting battle thwarted by a crafty driver placing his slow car very carefully ahead of a MUCH faster car

Somebody should start a petition to have the event dropped and replaced by an actual race

Rant over....
