Eh, Monaco pretty much represents what F1 is.

Can't really see that cause to me all Monaco represents is slow speeds, no overtaking, no excitement and lots of queuing... That's not really why I like F1...

Monaco was awesome back when cars were pushing the limits of speed and endurance so there were tons of retirements. Now though, it's boring.

We are living our lives
Abound with so much information

Monaco needs to gtf out, such a boring track.

It was nice to see Webber win though, and too bad about Schumacher, he just isn't having any luck.

They will never retire Monaco.

I love it.

Dr voltchball - best in the world.

Don't mind having one boring track if it traditional like Monaco, however there was never going to be much action, unless it was wet. Not unexpected. Good to see the streak continue, with 6 winners from 6 races. Wonder how long that will last? Can't see three teams winning, ever, however it was good to see Kovalainen semi competitive, for a while.

Eh, I supposed Monaco can stay since it is traditional. But Valencia needs to get out, it has no excuse for it to stay on the calender. And yet...they are gonna be swapping it with Barcelona over the next few years :(

Monaco is the one race where I don't really care if there is overtaking, as watching the cars being pushed around such a tight track is what does it for me. Unfortuantely, when looking at the fastest laps, this year's raced seemed to be more of a tyre conservation contest.

Midway through the race, Perez set a lap on fresh tyres that was over a second faster than what any other driver managed that day. The most bizzare thing to me was that race winner Mark Webber (3rd in fastest lap standings) had a fastest lap just 1.4 seconds quicker than Narain Karthikeyan's (which put him 19th in the FL rankings) and 8 tenths faster than Pic (14th). In the last race in Spain, winner Maldonado set a fastest lap over 3 seconds faster than either Marussia.

A close field is definitely a good thing, and I know fastest laps are far from the be-all and end-all of racing, but looking at the results from 2010 and 2011, the fastest lap rankings looked relatively similar to qualifying in terms of gaps, whereas this weekend cars that were several seconds slower in qualifying were suddenly much closer in terms of FL pace. Basically, it suggests to me that the drivers never really drive on the limit (with execptions such as Perez this weekend) for the duration of the race.

Pointless ranting aside, Maldonado has got to be the first driver to win from pole one race and start last and not complete a lap in the next.

But this news upsets me a whole lot more since Montreal is my favorite track besides Spa

You know, I think Canada's placement in the calendar is a bit weird. You have 2 races in Europe, then the Canada GP, and then they go back to Europe.

(stealth bump)

Makes perfect sense. We need to have a good track sandwiched between Monaco and Valencia >_>.

So the free open day was cancelled thanks to these protest.

But what annoys me most is this:



Cyber-anarchist group Anonymous have already threatened to disrupt the race.

"As we did in Bahrain, Anonymous intends to wreck Mr Ecclestone's little party," read a statement from Anonymous last week.

"Beginning on June 7 and running through race day on June 10, Anonymous will take down all the F1 websites, dump the servers and databases and wreck anything else F1-related we can find on the internet.

"We would like to remind anyone considering attending this abominable race that last time Anonymous found all the spectators' personal data, including credit card numbers un-encrypted on F1 servers."


Why must they interfere :(

Looks like this topic will be gone soon. >_>

Wait, what's Anonymous angle on this? I don't quite get it...

Vettel is on pole again -_-.

Hope he doesn't drive off from the start like he usually does.

Yep, though one of the Irish pubs had both on at the same time. Shame it was completely full, otherwise I would have seen the race as well!
