Monaco Grand Prix 2010, Monte Carlo - Race 6/19

[muon]

Webber was something like 20-1 to win the championship before the last race.

Can someone explain to me who decides how many laps they do of the circuit and why is it that they have to do so many?

Something like getting the race distance near to 200 miles, but no longer than 2hours

What is he on about Noah's Ark?

 

[Azza]

Ah right ok.


Don't think I could do it, I would get bloody bored going round and round and round.

It always is unless people are smashing into the barriers.

22 laps to go - torrential downpour would go down well round about now. Malaysia levels of rain.

Anything to make the event entertaining.

ANOTHER FASTEST LAP, its as if his car is getting lighter.

Close. 305km (190 miles) for all races apart from Monaco which is 260km (165 miles?).

The Race must finish within 2 hours, otherwise it finishes on the lap completed after 2 hours have elapsed. This only usually takes effect during really bad weather.

So much rubber on the track. Imagine if they were on the softer tyres for longer.

I wish the cameraman would stop focusing on that stupid Martini poster at the hairpin.

Argh

near enough, if you assume an average race pace of 1:20, monaco lasts ~1 hr 40 mins for 78 laps. Considering you're very likely to get safety cars around monaco its about right.

SOMETHING HAPPEN.

We need a system of sprinkers, soaking the track, once in every race, for a fixed duration (say 15 minutes), at a random time.

This would bring some excitement to dry races, which, in 2010, will be processions, given that there is so much dependence on aerodynamic downforce.

Alonso was the only guy who provided any sort of excitement in this race, and this was purely because of his accident on Saturday. In the previous race, the only excitement was provided by Hamilton, when he overtook Vettel. Unfortunately, this is how dry races will be for the remainder of 2010.
