I loved the Monaco GP for a couple of decades, but I think F1 needs to leave it behind. It was always a challenge and you saw mistakes and crazy races. Now it seems very easy to drive around here for the top drivers and teams don't want to risk racing really up front. So it leads to boring races.
Its been a bit tense because of how close everyone is but actually they have been cruising holding what they have.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

You are right. Monaco used to be that crazy race where accidents and retirements made the drama and crazy incidents. With a few exceptions Monaco has never been a great race in terms of racing, but the other aspects made it fun. I mean 81 or 82 when the lead changed 5 odd times in the last laps. That was crazy but never happens now.

There are two conclusions that can be had here, based on the fact that no one posted about qualifying or the race until this morning. One is that Monaco, as a race, is a write off for most fans. The second is that interest in racing in general, see the lack of ANY recent posts in the other racing forums here, is pretty much gone everywhere. The only real activity this board gets anymore are on the rally forums. A third possibility is that one and two both apply. Sad.

Congratulations to Ricciado a well deserved win. Hamilton managed to keep the damage to his championship points to the minimum. Vettel edging closer. Kimi and Bottass slipping backwards as Danny leaps to third in the championship. Canada is going to be a different matter, Mercedes and Ferrari shall resume their superiority

Most boring race ever.
Comparison of Ricciardo’s drive to Schumacher 95 in Spain are a bit over the top. He was down on power in the least power dependant track in the world. Monaco is the best track in the world for him to have that type of issue. Congratulations to him - top drive.

Unfortunately it's going to take quite some time to undo Bernie's idiocy in this area. I'm hopeful that LM has a better grasp of reality and is looking at the longer term, but the short-sighted lets-take-as-much-money-as-we-can-right-now deals are going to be doing damage for a long time yet.

After the lap 10, I was watching the race on fast forward whenever the leader order was Ric-Vet-Ham-Rai-Bot, and it looks like I didn't miss anything important.
