Damage limitation time for Lewis today......somehow don't think a podium finish is very likely !

Lewis did a great job from where he started, I thought the Mclarens were going to get their first points until Vandoorne had that weird crash on the restart.

Those bigger F1 cars look a bit too unwieldy for that Monaco street circuit now, They should build some powerful team go karts.

Dunno what Button was up to! I thought he could have finished the race too.

Alonso on BT sport @ 4pm for the Indy 500.

This must be one of the most boring forms of motor sport there is.
Apart from the start, where a couple of cars made up a place or two, there wasn't a single racing overtaking manoeuvre from any car all race.

I have no idea why Monaco is so popular. Its a qualifying session with a two hour driver parade the following day.
I didn't see a single on track overtake.
I'm sure it takes a lot of skill to do a quick lap on the narrow street but where racing is concerned it's a dead loss.

Tradition and money are the only reason it's still on the calendar. Time to move on and leave it to host historic F1 races imo

Or for some of us..........the most enjoyable form of Motorsport there is.

Simple really, if you don't enjoy it......don't watch it
