Starting to rain apparently - rain in Monaco usually makes for an incident-packed race.

Stroll is becoming a proper whining racing driver

Feel a bit sorry for Ricciardo, he's had a great weekend and now it looks like this power issue is going to cost him at some point.
He's having a bloody good go at hanging on though, and given how hard it is to overtake here then he can at least make life hard for Vettel and the rest.

He's done a brilliant job of managing the situation and the race - really pleased that he's held on.

Take nothing away from DR, but this highlights that this is nothing more than a show for the billionaires as it is a meaningless track for modern F1 cars.

Dont bother! Except for Verstapen who started at the back I only remember seeing 1 other driver make an overtaking move. Not even the craziness of a safety car to enjoy. A pointless track

It really is. Not even worth putting on a much faster set of tyres as you can't even overtake a much slower car anyway.

And that was probably when teammates swapped positions on track (Renaults) after the driver in front agreed to let the other, on newer tyres, through
The drivers like the circuit as it's a challenge to drive, but it's boring for spectators to watch

When you can win a race with a fault that makes you a second and a half slower a lap than the other front runners it’s a farce. Maybe they should bin it as a GP and put it on as a non championship race.
Has it always been a procession rather than a race, or was it exciting back in the day?

Boring, but the ultimate high speed F1 test.
Today's race was probably the worse I can remember.

It'll never get off the circuit as the those that make the decisions enjoy the off track perks and kudos way too much.

Here's an idea- reverse the grid, per championship positions before the race, and double the points...
Or maybe just a flat fee £1m per driver, and staggered prize ££ for the top 5 finishers.. Last runner at each of ten laps gets withdrawn from race.
THEN we might see some overtaking attempts.

Some people appreciate the driver skill involved and enjoy it.You don't see a great deal of overtaking at events like the TT races,but it's still worth watching/going.
