Red flag has proper ruined this

[Brainy]

Hamilton being stuck behind Alonso who is going 3 seconds a lap slower for no obvious reason pretty much sums up the last 6 months for him

Glad Mick Schumacher   is ok - nasty crash .

 

Don’t think anything else is going to happen .

 

Ferrari lost that race for Leclerc.

Gasly overtook a couple  

[Strokes]

Yes Checo, love that man.

[UniFox21]

Another race made by weather or a crash. 

[Jimothy]

LeClerc could drive round Monaco on his own and still not win.

[Zear0]

Nice one Sergio! Absolutely appalling race though.

That's good by Monaco standards. Not sure what the point of Alonso holding everyone up was since all it did was ensure his teammate scored no points.

Think he was just saving tyres to have a go at fastest lap

It’s the first time he has ever seen the chequered flag in any race he has taken part in at Monaco

Hence why I made the post. It never goes well for him at home.

Unless I’m being stupid (it’s entirely possible) we was never likely to have a complete finished race based on laps today 

 

the 3 hour clock started at 2pm despite the start being delayed and no racing taking place 

Sergio Perez won with a time of 1:56:30.265 completing 64 laps 14 laps short of full race distance so even without the 3 hour clock we would have ran out of the 2 hour race clock 

[Brainy]

The race officially started when the safety car led them out for the second time. They're then as far as I remember are supposed to finish in a 4 hour window... I thought if the race then gets red flagged the time stops, which is why I don't get why the race was shortened. I'm guessing the rules have changed

Say it every year but anyone defending that as a motor race is making an attempt to defend the indefensible. 

 

The time has come to either do whatever it takes to alter the layout, or cancel the race altogether.  It's time has come.

 

I also type this knowing that absolutely nothing will be done because the teams/media love it for the money and the drivers love it because they live there.

Would agree pretty much every year mate. However today was pretty good - albeit made interesting by the conditions.

I wouldn't want to lose it completely but I feel it needs to be an exhibition or something, or reduced points, or even a time trial (although that essentially just qualifying). Not sure what to do, it not really a race, but imo it's one of the classics circuits that I wouldn't want to lose along with Silverstone, Spa, Monza, Interlagos, Canada, Hungary and Melbourne.

Getting rid of Monaco is kinda like saying get rid of the fa cup 

[Brainy]

Red Bull benefitting from the race director making up his own rules again I see

[The Quick Brown Fox]

If Redbull had not enforced team orders last week they would have drivers 1 and 2 in the championship. Putting all their eggs in Max's basket pretty early.
