Fisheruk Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 I think that ought to be the final time F1 is held in Monaco 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Have to agree, Monaco was nothing more than synchronised driving. Unless someone catches a barrier or wall it's like watching paint dry. Utter cack and glad I only watched the highlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 I like Monaco because it is the only circuit in my opinion, where the tv spectator gets an impressive sensation of speed, but I still couldn’t bring myself to watch more than the first ten laps or so. Great shame really, I used to enjoy F1 so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Neal Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) The most exciting part of the race was Seb's pit exit where he gained two places over Gasly and Hamilton.... and the TV director decided to cut way from it!! Even the replay cut away from the best bit!!! I'm really feeling for Bottas at the moment, the points he could have nabbed from this race could have reignited his challenge against Hamilton for credibility and equality within the team. Wingman for yet another season it seems.... I don't see him lasting past the end of this year at Mercedes - and it may be his decision to walk away. Feeling gutted for Danny Ric who just can't seem to tune himself in to the McLaren. But on the other hand, Lando is just flying high at the moment in that car and he well and truly deserves it. Loving the continued Bromance with Carlos even now they're no longer teammates! 4 hours ago, Scully said: I used to enjoy F1 so much. Stick with it. Monaco is a snooze-fest, always has been in the modern era. But the rest of this season is going to produce some drama. Think about it, Max is now the championship leader! And Red Bull are leading the Constructors for the first time since they've been using these hairdryer hybrid engines! Ebb and flow... it's going to get brutal, this season will be the tastiest since Lewis/Nico in 2016 but with the added spice that there are now other teams in the mix. Possibly the best F1 season since 2012 is in progress Edited May 24, 2021 by Jim Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. the cars are too fast and too wide to make anything of the historical possible overtake points. They can't take the risks other eras could because the likelihood of an accident is much greater. They should just knock down a few hotels and get some proper straights in, then keep the famous corners as a nod to posterity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the best F1 season since 2012 is in progress I agree with this Jim, there are going to be fireworks, tantrums from Hamilton, and if George Russell somehow lands Bottas's seat, for whatever reason, before the season is out, it could be explosive!

rimfire4969 Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 I luckily fell asleep watching it, woke up 2 laps to go. Thought it was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted May 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 I think there were 5 on-track overtakes, four of which were on the first lap and of those five, three were missed by the cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Heron Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 I have been lucky enough to have been to Monaco in 1984 but this weekends race was boring it's about time to scrap it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
