Too bad the red flag situation took away the mandatory pit stops. I think now the top 10 finishes is the same as the top 10 starting grid?
Is that a record? I mean for a race that's not stopped due to rain etc.
For sure it's a recipe for a very boring race....

And BP is crapping out constantly for the last 30min or so....where is this site hosted....in the middle of africa or so?!?
Downtime here is horrible!

Yeah . Same situation over here . Bimmerpost crashed too !

I'd get mine to join in but as MAX didn't win he didn't want to know

Daghe Munegu !

This championship is still Verstappen and Reb Bull to lose. But the standings got a bit tighter.

I read the prior record was 6 in the top 10 so the starting 10 finishing the same blew that out of the water. Time to take Monaco off the calendar or just accept it for what it is…the worst race in the current history of motorsports.

Completely disagree, some years there is intrigue. Some years it’s a parade. But qually is always exciting and probably the best day of the weekend. Plus for Americans it’s a Memorial Day tradition. Monaco, Indy, coke 600. If it were placed elsewhere on the calendar I’d less excited.

True.
At Monaco there's always some drama. This year it was Max' failure to get a good qualification. And the record that the top 10 on the grid finished in the same order

But I also vividly remember Panis winning here. That also was a very perculiar race

Elsewhere on the calendar? I never suggested that. It’s either off the calendar completely or remains as the worst one there!

Great job Chuck, Chaz, Charlie, Charles!

Safe to say that Fred Vasseur is pretty blotto by now!

So this year’s drama as you wrote had nothing to do with the race. It was in qualifying. And I agree. That is the only drama for the F1 weekend. If that’s all the drama the race should go bye bye.

It honestly wasn't that exciting of a quali session.

The race was quite possibly the most boring F1 race I have ever seen.

Monaco is a spectacle and should remain on the calendar. But something needs to be done to improve racing. I have defended the race from boring comments for years, but this race was a whole new level.

Checo's RB20 looks like a pile of scrap !
This crash will put Checo under even more pressure for the upcoming races in this season .
I mean , he just can't crash again ...

Ough ! And there goes the Red Bull budget cap ...Horner won't he happy with that !!!
It's a very bad situation for Checo , to extend his RB contract

Too bad .....

Looks like the car is completely totalled even the tub on each corner with just the PU maybe salvegeable, but the next upgrades should be in the pipeline for fitting. Checo should have sensed more knowing KMags banzai moves of last and it's likely KM won't be at Montreal with penalty on the way. Maybe Lawson will be getting a call from Horner soon.

Thank you my friend.

Dina was a (giant) black Riesenschnauzer .
Pic was shot in 2009 , while she was sleeping in her bed in good health.
Dina was super intelligent . We will miss our Dina forever...

There’s nothing comparable to the pictures of that harbor!
