Yaaawwnnnn!!! Princess and the Prince must be happy to see a procession of salute!

Did anyone else made passes, other than Verstappen?
Hamilton ‘passed’ Ocon.
Force India gets all the pu updates for next race. Nah nothing going on with that pass.
Yep.

Maybe they should use the 2016 narrower cars for Monaco lol. Special chassis for special race.
Anyone who owns an apartment over their track should be obliged to point a hosepipe downward and give the track a good spray. Changeable conditions are the one of the rare times that this race is particularly interesting.

I'd love to see it gone.
I'd personally opt for snow :D Imagine the chaos.

Very dull, in spite of Ricciardo's 'drama'. I think Dan benefited massively by Vettel covering off Hamilton, Hamilton covering Kimi, Kimi doing the same to Bottas. Kind of like a strategic stale mate. I really thought Ferrari might bring Raikkonen in, but then I realised what I was thinking, I must be mad.

That's the beauty of Monaco! He could have driven without a wheel too, from the pole! :D

Poor tyre from Pirelli, Vettel attacked for some 5 laps before the tyres were gone. They were lapping 5 seconds slower than what they should after that point.

Verstappen stayed within 0.5 sec behind a car, so the aero is not the problem here, it was all tyres.

What do you expect with 100kg more than qualy. You can have it both ways. If you want sticky tires you are going to suffer in the race. The one at fault is the FIA and their rules.

We then have the likes of Crofty I’d SkyF1 saying how much he loves it. It’s easy to say that when you’re IN the weekend. When you’re watching it on TV it’s a snooze fest.

FIA did not make any tyre rule

Pirelli needs to bring tyres that are durable enough to abuse of racing. Of the six tyres in there range none would stand up to close racing for more than 10% of the race

With fuel load the cars can only be 3 to 4 seconds off qualifying pace, rest is due to poor durability of tyres
