yeah
embarrassing
I think the commentators actually were a little embarrassed at times
the Monaco “party” is ok, look at the yachts!, but the actual race is a heritage event
the qualifying is legit, should award the points for that, not the race
embarrassing when you compare it to the other big race on the weekend
Indy 500: 22 lead changes (14 different drivers) -
Back in 2017 the Monaco Grand Prix made 90 million Euros over four days for the Principality. It will be a lot more than that now.
You might not like it, but the 72-hour annual party for some of the world's wealthiest and most flashy individuals with some fast cars in the background in a glamorous Mediterranean tax haven with a famous casino brings in the cash. Lots and lots of cash.
There is zero chance of it disappearing from the sporting calendar.

I didn't say I wanted it gone. It's still cool, it just isn't the pure racing test that comes with a proper track

The excitement of Monaco on the track is the practice sessions and then the qualifying. Short of a SC the race is just a procession.

@canefan was it 3 DNFs?
Two I think? He ran a good race, but could not afford missteps by his team over timing of pitstops and tyre changes. After qualifying outside the points positions he had a good chance to win a point but just couldn't hang on with old tyres against Alonso with fresh tyres. I don't know why they didn't change his tyres when everyone else came in during the safety car

Liam gets knocked out of the points by Alonso 2 laps from the finish 😞. But he gained 2 spots compared to his starting position
Decent race speed too. The moves on Albon were good.. the one on Bearman not so good
Generally fast all weekend apart from Q2. Practise was 6th, 10th & 10th. Q1 he was 8th
He needs to nail a qualifying. He looks like he’ll hold his position if he can start a few places higher
