No worries... thought about just adding a 1/10 option and leaving it at that

1/10 nothing even happened in the highlights!

Another race where I'm going to moan about the graphics and audio. More stupid, needless delays in updating the driver list on the left. It was infuriating when Hulk came out in front of Verstappen who'd pitted. The camera followed the leading train, yet because the graphics are so slow and dim-witted it was impossible to tell if Verstappen actually made the pass. It jusy showed Hulk with a blank interval. I know the timing loops are every 200m, but this must have taken most of a lap to fix itself. There were several other instances during the race too.
Not to mention the brief re-appearance of 'Lastname Lastname' again. I don't understand how it's gotten so bad this year.
Also the sound from onboard shots is still not in sync with the picture, and has been this way since Australia. I noticed it most when on board with Vettel in the race around lap 20. You could see how far out it was from the gear display on his steering wheel. It even made Brundle comment on Hamilton that he seemed slow to accelerate out of the chicane at one point, but he wasn't it was just the ****** sound making it appear that way.

2, but only because of the jeopardy caused by Ricciardo's engine struggles.

Pirelli are introducing the Super Duper soft compound for then next race apparently.

It looks like they are simplifying tyre names by renaming the tyres to soft, medium and hard for each race. See here.
Why do we need 7 different compounds??? That sounds mental! Why cant they just have a soft, medium and hard (Which actually are and not different from race to race?) Where did the need for the other 4 to come from? OR are 2 of those wet and intermediate? They complain its too complicated yet at the same time do stuff like this.

Because different tracks need different compounds and teams are forced to run two per race.

Because circuits have different requirements (braking, no. of corners, top speed, track material/abrasion).
Monaco requires very soft tyres, in order to ensure they can warm up, whereas an abrasive circuit like Spain requires Hard/Medium compounds for the required longevity.
Change makes sense from a viewers point of view, why talk about 7 different tyres, when there are only ever 3 options (excluding wets/inters) at any given race weekend.
One but if there was a zero, I would vote a zero.
I am still frustrated how both Ferrari and Mercedes gave up on fighting and the entire race was driving enjoying the streets there.
Vettel should have immediatelly pitted for HyperSofts when the first hints of Red Bull's problems appeared. If that happened, Sebastian would have been the winner.

neither super hard or hard was used in Spain

nah keep them also bring back Bridgestone and Michelin and have a three way tyre war
If he did that, he probably would have been 3rd to 5th instead. Track position is king in Monaco, you can be several seconds a lap faster and still not be able to pass.
Soldato
Pitting would have been lunacy.

Sorry for not finding an accurate example - point still stands that different tracks need different tyre compounds
But its not like there are many new tracks. We've been running the same bunch for ages with 3 main compounds with no issue. Although i guess the biggest issue is the fact that the tyres arent particularly designed to go as fast as possible rather as fast as possible, but only for so long while making the races more interesting. This will frustrate the die hards who want to know what the actual tyres are i think as it wont be as easy to find out i guess. Hopefully the next set of regulations can shake all this up some more.
