Well that was worse than watching an e race.

I dunno... There's something unduly pleasurable about watching Ferrari f*ck up yet again...

What a farce at the start, they should have got underway & then if the rain had come down too hard then stop the race. Ferrari are protesting the touching of the pit entry line by Verstappen, I must admit when watching I thought he'd crossed it, he was certainly on it with the front, which means he could have been over it with the rear.

But I still don't like the place as a race circuit, was it 2 overtakes in the whole race (on track)?

I thought we might have had a bit of action given the weather but it just ended up being the usual procession.

Just been reported that the Ferrari appeal has been thrown out. Bit of a cheeky move by Max but he got away with it. Definitely looked like he was going over the line but the camera didn't show it.

Trouble is, Monaco is where the money is, a place to see and be seen...

Hednesford Hills is ain't.

The BTCC meeting from Thruxton was quite good. Then throw in Ash Sutton in fine form, an upside down Mini and a Ginetta BBQ and a couple of belting F4 races, and it was a very watchable day's entertainment.

That was a bit more interesting than usual Monaco race, very well done for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Is Masi back on board?

Missed Monaco, but it doesn't look like I missed much. Just everyone having to follow Alonso round and Ferrari messing up their strategy.

I don't think Max won did he?

Alonso going out of his way to mess with Hamilton's head was my highlight

I don't see why they didn't start the race behind the safety car and did 2 laps like they did at Spa ?

It worked well there .

It backfired though and put Ocon 2 places further back !

Or was that the real reason it was done, I know Alonso is not a good team player but I get the impression he's not too fond of Ocon, maybe he's looking to get Gasly moved there.

I had the benefit of watching the highlights ... which made for quite an entertaining program! There was real drama to the tyre decisions, and drivers tip-toeing around.
Of course a race that starts wet and ends almost bone-dry is slightly disappointing ... but there were still a few thrills.

If you don't enjoy the spectacle of F1 cars racing round someones bedroom a cramped seaside tax-haven with unpredictable grip levels ... well I guess yesterday was not for you.

Alonso to McLaren?
