For all you negative Nancy's about Monaco, check this stat out:

The Monaco Grand Prix attained a higher audience share than any other programme on television last week. A massive 40.55 %..

Which is why it'll always be on the calendar.

It will always be on the calender and rightly so.

If F1 drivers find it too dangerous, then perhaps they should quit F1 and move to a safer formula.

It's still a pants race track.

Good show but not good for actual racing.

Now, several things are possible here.

1) RBR are such colossal idiots that they've let the floor of their car get photographed in pretty decent detail, and this floor holds some of the secrets to the car's performance.
2) RBR don't give a **** about showing off the floor of the RB7, as it's completely ordinary and of no interest to rival teams
3) That isn't the 'real' floor, and they're engaged in an elaborate bluff (*dramatic music sting*).

I'm liking the Rhino Tape holding the wiring down, it's a nice touch.

Of 4) that's actually the top side of the floor, and therefore of little use to anyone.

Go take it up with ScarbsF1 then, it's his wording.

He seems to find it has a lot of interesting details.

A good read as well if bored at work!

whats going on there? did they not want to qualify?

looked like they were crashing on purpose.

and in the race edit does hamilton call schui a 'sterling driver' right after the pass on him?

why dont they play the good radio edits in the race

you could tell hamilton getting more and more ****** off as the race went on.

Race - Vettel victorious in red-flagged Monaco thriller
Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel rode his luck for all it was worth in Monaco this weekend. He got the pole, then had it inadvertently safeguarded after Sergio Perez’s accident. Then on Sunday, just as he was under massive pressure on worn tyres from Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso and McLaren’s Jenson Button, a nail-biting race was brought to a temporary halt when Toro Rosso’s Jaime Alguersuari crashed in heavy traffic in the Swimming Pool, taking out Renault’s Vitaly Petrov in the process.
