What junk.

If something wild had happened in the last third of the race, it could have been an interesting race. But it didn't. It was just Monaco, with no overtaking.

What junk.

The two stop idea was a wet fart after all. You have to feel for Russell as the Williams cars drove as slowly as was legally possible to keep in the points. It was a royal procession.

I thought some clever strategy may have shuffled things up at some point. Unfortunately, it became a race of two halves; the sharp end with four cars chasing each other, and the slow train led around the track by the Williams cars. Of course, there was the lone wolf Hamilton, a good distance away from both of these groups. Verstappen tried a few tricks to get the McLarens to tangle up with the Ferrari of LeClerc, but they were wise to his intentions.

Williams is the best strategic team on the grid at the mo. I can imagine Toto sitting at his station, not impressed with James Vowles and his drivers. Ferrari can be proud of their showing this weekend. But LeClercc would be very disappointed not to win it back to back.

I do love this track, but that was such a pile of junk.
Oh well.

Thankfully, Spain is only 5 days away. It seems like it may be a revealing weekend as the rear wing regulation comes into effect. I am curious to see which team would be most affected by it. Of course, like the two-stop idea, it could also turn out to be a non-event.
