There are fans of the Monaco GP. More people should appreciate the effort to race an F1 car around Monaco.

I think it's because there are road show races that we can discuss and talk together about the big distribution passion.

The smaller cars of the past helped the racing lots.

I was working with a gentleman a few years ago on a track for reactor2 that had Monaco, but instead of the right hander into the tunnel, it went straight out onto a 4000m pier with grandstands and the new pit complex, hair-pinned, then came back towards the track and had a Pouhon left hander into the tunnel. Unfortunately, he passed before it was finished...😪

I always wondered if ihe would have fixed
overtaking at Monaco.

Looking at Google Earth, seems some kind of land expansion is happening there now, but the buildings are now in the way!

Looks like rain on Saturday and Sunday

Quali should be more fun if it rains.
Race a full wet race as likely is going to be procession.

Is there any consensus that Merc is bringing their update to Monaco, or is it more likely Spain? I’m thinking Spain since Monaco is such a sketchy patched up tarmac, a one off track, very bumpy, and low speed. Not much useful data comp to the risk of bringing a major updates.

My podium picks!

Love your optimism... Sadly Mclaren is a sh*tshow at the moment... Maybe after the summer break...

Agreed... Tracks in Turkey, Malaysia or Portugal - to name a few- are soooo much better...

If Sergio wants to get into Max's head again, now is the perfect time to pull a little "yellow" a Mirabeau. A petit roadblock if you will.
