    It's the best race to miss tbf cars far too big for Monaco

    I booked to go away in October so I'm missing both anyway 😂😂

    Monaco is usually a record it and fast forward race anyway.

    Just copy and paste qualifying into the race result, I'm sure no-one will even notice

    Monaco is a complete borefest. Don't think that I would even be bothered to watch the highlights.
    I've had people say to me that the one GP that that they'd love to go to is Monaco. It's at that stage that I know that they don't really know much about F1.

    have you actually seen the circuit at Monaco?, I have near enough walked the entire circuit and the fact that F1 cars can drive around it at the speeds they do is absolutely phenomenal. The racing is crap but the spectacle and the sound of the cars driving around the circuit is something I would personally love to see. And yes I do know about F1.

    But it is supposed to be a race and it never is.

    However, I'd go on a Thursday or Saturday, but never a Sunday!

    no its not, but that can be said about many circuits, which don't generate the glamour and money that Monaco does. What you said was that people who want to go to the Monaco GP don't know much about F1. I do and I would enjoy the spectacle, the sound and the skill of the drivers doing what they do on a ridiculous tight circuit. I actually didn't like the place and thought it tacky, expensive and tawdry, but I would rather go there than say Las Vegas or Shanghai.

     Plus whenever I have been to GPs you don't actually get to see much overtaking anyway (always seems to be happening elsewhere on circuit) one of the few I do actually remember seeing was Reutemann overtaking Lauda at Clearways to win in '78. Actually Brands Hatch is another circuit not really suited to F1, but I would love to see another GP there, even though overtaking is only marginally better than Monaco.

    Far too many circuits fall into the "difficult to overtake" category. It's ridiculous.
    What fans love and want appears more and more irrelevant.
    In the days of the V12, V10, V8 engines, being in their presence was enough. It no longer is.

    Formula E produced a pretty good Monaco GP a couple of weeks back but F1 just seems to struggle with the larger cars there. 

    Even F2 that you could stick in the local Big Tesco car park and 98 times of 100 they would produce a thriller has had the odd snoozer at Monaco. However they have the right idea with Group Qualifying there.

    Jesus wept... What a horrible crash that was for Yuki

    Shows how safe F1 is now, for him to be able to just walk away from that

    Red Bull need to fix their f**king car, or does Max need to have a crash like that for them to realise?

    Sounds like he crossed the line after the Red Flag, so his lap has been deleted

    Haha... Love it... Doohan caught smiling like a Cheshire cat after that incident.

    Feel for Colapinto, but like Canapino he's got some arsehole Argentinian supporters

    Bearman was on for P10 if the Red Flag didn't come out.

    Imagine he'd have dropped back, but reckon it was good enough for Q2 regardless

    Yeah I think he'd have snuck through with that lap.
