I think I saw 2 overtakes when I wasn't fast forwarding through...Pretty boring race. Nothing the teams/players can do about though... :undecided:

I think F1 has outgrown Monaco to be honest.. The cars are too well matched and the track to narrow to be a worthwhile circuit.

Anyone heard owt about the whole RB rear hole issue yet? They said within 2.5hrs of the race ending a verdict should be drawn up...

They are having a meeting tomorrow: http://adamcooperf1.com/2012/05/27/fias-technical-working-group-to-discuss-red-bull-floor-controversy-on-monday/ my guess is the other teams may follow if it is declared legal.

Will be interesting to see how it goes.

Not gutted anymore after reading this!

this... saw some excerpts of previous Monaco races... and I remember watching it in the early 90's being entranced by it... can't imagine it will ever be off the racing calendar though. Someone remind me to do something else when it is on next year. tia.

I agree about maybe think about dropping Monaco now.

There is so much overtaking in F1 now, due to Kers and DRS , we have become spoilt with great racing, even at Barcelona , we seen cars being overtaken at spots where they have never been seen before.

The average number of overtakes this season has been 42 per race, I honestly can't remember more then 3/4 yesterday and last year there was 16.

It may be the nicest setting for a F1 race but is far the most boring.

F1 overgrew Monaco at least 20 yrs ago, it's boring racing every year!

To make it exciting watch the onboard camera's instead, amazing commitment by the drivers.

I think monaco is great when it's wet, it's just carnage.

How annoying that the race could not of started 30mins later than it did, as it was chucking it down after the race, would of made it interesting.

If they are illegal can they or should they not disqualify him and Vettel from the race results?  :undecided:
