Well, I hope that Grosjean gets a 5 place grid drop at the next GP for causing a collision.

Rain in 15 laps perhaps.

As for Massa, I hate to be cynical but the extra points would be wasted on him. Forza Fernando.

hope you pirelli lovers are in ecstasy over this fantastic racing.

If grosjean doesnt get a 5 place penalty for weaving about at the start then there should be a protest from mercedes.

Why does everyone have to be either a Pirelli lover or hater? Some of us are just enjoying the racing this year - tyres with longer life have not produced better racing in Monaco in the past, so quit your irrational whinging. That's several posts in this one thread you've made saying the same thing, please give it a rest.

Grosjean wasn't weaving, and the one move rule is suspended for the opening corner or two. He made a simple racing mistake, no penalty needed.

Tire wear as it currently is needs to be fixed.

Yes I understand they wanted the tires to wear like this, and Pirelli is only doing what they were asked to, but it's ridiculous.

They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.

How is it racing when within a few laps, everyone goes into tire conservation mode?

I mean really?

What is this, 1970 when guys were running used tires in Formula Ford because they couldn't afford new tires?

It's that the tires go off so fast that there's no time or opportunity for actual racing. Becomes a crap shoot of tires rather than racing. When people are saving tires by not going out in Q3 you know it's pretty bad
Grip is a four letter word. All opinions are my own and not those of current or previous employers.
