Monaco used to be one of the most exciting and anticipated ones. Now I would say it's the most boring track. :thumbsdown:
Monaco GP
- Thread starter exdos
- Start date

I was thinking just that - it has all the presence and style with location, location, location but with near zero overtaking prospects in a sport where little overtaking happens anyway- it's never going to make for exciting racing now - without crashes which we don't want to see. Monaco needs a rethink - not that it will ever be withdrawn - too much money around for that.
I did feel for Hamilton though I'm the first to think he can be a tad petulant - though talented driver for sure - and he is increasingly showing signs of maturity - hope that £27m a year helps console him. That's also ridiculous where the teams at the back ( thinking Marussia - now Manor) really struggle I can't reconcile a single driver taking £27m p.a.
On balance, I feel it was probably a simple very poorly judged human error to bring him in.

Bernie and friends need to get back to the sport that it once was, racing
If it wasn't for sky+ I wouldn't watch anymore, at least I can get through 2hrs of procession in 15 mins. and should there b anything worth a watch I can rewind.
If sky f1 wasn't free as part of my package, I wouldn't pay for it :thumbsdown:
Yup agreed. Although I continue to watch the TV coverage I haven't been ar*ed to go to a GP since 1996. Remember the '80s ? Proper racing with cars driven
by 'real' characters , not PR robots
(Grumpy old man mode off). Did they ever recover the diamond that Christian Klien 'lost' is 2004 ? Evidently it was worth $300,000
Dont watch F1 but a race should be a race, no stops, flag to flag.
Make the races shorter so they dont need to fuel up or change tyres and it will be more exciting.
They could even do what WSB or BSB do and have 2 races on the same day.
BSB second race grid positions are calculated by the fastest laps in race 1.

I agree nictrix, and what about rewarding qualifying?
Saw something on the BBC about truck racing and I'm pretty sure they said the slowest qualifiers start on pole and the fastest at the back.
presume there's some sort of points mechanism to make it worth while trying to finish qaulifying fast to start at the back
.
Would certainly spice things up

It's a shame for Lewis but he'll come right like last year. It'll just give him even more satisfaction come November. And Monaco has always been dull IMO, just nowhere near enough passing spaces - although don't say that to young Verstappen...
