This track looks nuts .
I expect lots of safety car periods , and long ones as cars and debris will be hard to clear .

This must be hell for those with businesses downtown , crippled for the sake of the show .

I'll predict 12 cars will reach the checkered flag , in a time limited race .

Hey , notice that I got the century right this time ? Pretty clever , eh ?

Cant be worse than Monaco can it ?
Looks a nice place to visit,but just how successful will it be ?

Yeah , I expect utter carnage ., with a lot of layout re-thinking before next year , if there is a next year for this race .

I wouldn't put it past protesters of the government to breach the track to disrupt things either , and given it's longest straight is about 2km , it might be pretty hard to stop .

I just hope all goes smoothly and that everyone leaves this walled F1 pinball game uninjured .

You never get to 210mph in Monaco .

The straight is extremely bumpy, scares the shit out of me.

I like the track!!

The seats are pretty empty in FP3. It's pretty alarming for an inogural race.

I'm thinking that a Webber-esque flip could end up in the ramparts of that castle!!!

They just mentioned that there were only 10 finishers in the lower classers .

I think it's likely we'll get some penalties for impeding in qually , and some interesting moments with people backing onto the track .

Then , the race will get ugly .
There will be lots for us all to talk about after this one .
