Monaco GP

Monaco is a great spectacle there is no doubt, but a good race track, not really, two nasty accidents out of the tunnel due the lump in the road and they arent the first there by all accounts and very few places to overtake, which unfortunately leads to frustrated drivers literally being held up, its ridiculous to think that you can be say 2 secs or more a lap slower but still stay ahead, that is not racing for sure!

The funny thing is that the Drivers love it. I think they like the zero room for error and the fact that if you win at Monaco you\'re at the top of your game.

Button was robbed because of that waaaaannnnnk rule that allows a tyre change in a red flag stoppage. End of story.

So to sum up, good race - we like on track fighting, but they can all STFU off track :Giggle

Hamilton has balls in going for overtakes, the overtake on Schumy was awesome and at Monaco as well, Weber also did an awesome overtake on Kobi, yes he can act like a spoilt brat, but afterall we are forgetting he is still very young.
The sport needs characters like Hamilton.
To my mind Button was so unlucky not to win as the cards didnt fall his way, his pace was awesome and him and Webber did the fastest laps in the race itself, proves they can drive.

They defo should change the rule on being able to work on the car due to a red flag, it should be parc ferme conditions

Pirelli are asking the FIA to ban red flag tyre changes.

+1 for that and to add no tyre changes due to a safety car.

I like Hamiltons driving style Mr Blitz, but overtaking and going for gaps that just arent there are 2 different things and will land him in trouble, as for all his arm waving and cleverly worded statements from the in car mike just ruins all his positive attitude imho.
