I have absolutely no understanding of F1 any more, I've concluded.
I shall be applying for a role in the FIA forthwith 😊

Seems pointless. Too much risk with little reward.So what do we think about the "sprint" race idea for qualifying? Work of Genius or worst idea in the history of bad ideas?

That is a very good question, I suspect it's about money to the event holder & F1, they think it will draw in bigger crowds, making it a fuller weekend which means they can charge even more than the stupidly high prices nowwhat problem is it trying to solve?
That's an interesting view, I would have thought it would be the other way around, you have a charger like Russell who if he started in the top 10 maybe able to stay there, so if in a sprint race he could get up along side, Hamilton, Bottas, Verstappen, Perez or even Leclerc, Sainz, would they make it too hard for him to pass, he's nothing to lose, if he has an accident he'll start at the back, so no difference to him.Ive seen suggestions that the lower teams may just do one lap and pull into the pits. They have very little chance of improving their grid place and don’t want to risk damage for the main race.

I still can't believe no-one crashed! Bottas was the only DNF ... with a bu99ered wheel-nut. Could only happen to him!Anyone watch Monaco? Or are you all still asleep?
Well you might argue that Leclerc crashed. Apparently Bottas's wheel is STILL on the car and will need disassembling at the factory. May or may not be true, but the internet said it was.I still can't believe no-one crashed! Bottas was the only DNF ... with a bu99ered wheel-nut. Could only happen to him!
And the director cut away from the only exciting passing action (based on the highlights prog anyway); well, of COURSE a pit-stop is more exciting!
(now can I go back to sleep?)

The current modern F1 cars are 2 metres wide, that's just silly, although I dislike Formula E due to the Stock Car antics of the drivers it was a better race, there were genuine overtakes, as @Reynard says up to Massenet, think there was also one coming out of the tunnel, which used to be a favourite for F1 cars, but no longer.
I can see as a driver why they love it, threading the car through the barriers, the bonus of sleeping in their own beds & not being caught in somebody else's.
I'm still in too minds as to whether Verstappen is a totally phenomenal driver, or the RB is so difficult to drive as Perez still hasn't got the better of it, although it has been developed to compliment Verstappens driving style.
