I stupidly got suckered in to watching the whole race due to Hamilton's wrong tyre choice during the pit stop, but really, Max was never going to stand a chance of a clean pass.

Another crap rac e.
Leclerc couldn't even pass cars outside the top ten without taking huge risk which says it all. I still respect Monaco for the challenge it poses to drivers but in terms of racing it's the kind of track that needs a working DRS zone more than any other.
Has it started yet! what game are you doing when an advert comes on?
This is not right... Sky showing it with no adverts. Switching to a UK commentary team when S goes to adverts.

I wish they would stick with the British commentary.

Marshals at Monaco usually pretty good, considering how they dealt with a couple of the Formula E incidents and how they were on the track today and the F2 car yesterday, lack of safety car or VSC in the F2 race while a bunch of them stand on the apex of the chicane, this insanity of running across a live track. Freaking mental.

that was too close.

1/10 for me, that was one of the most boring races I have ever watched. I have said it before and I will say it again, Monaco should not be a championship "race". If they really want to go there do it as a non championship demo. It has never made for good racing and never will. I am a Lewis fan but all that constant whining about his tyres was pathetic. Yes, they should have put him on the hard tyre but they didn't so he had to make the best of a bad job. They should have told him that he could pit if he wanted to but it would drop him to 4th/5th. If he wanted the win he should stay out and STFU!! That was just cringeworthy.

Was alright for a Monaco race imo. Some tension, a few overtake attempts... Could be a lot worse. 5/10
No, it couldn't be any worse than that , utterly abysmal as per the whole season so far. Cue the diehard fans desperately trying to defend it. Commentators really earned their money trying to sound excited at that drivel. Boats were nice though. Never thought I'd say I'm going to watch the Indy 500 for some excitement !!
I enjoyed Leclerc's drive, a true hero to zero drive - Wears heart on sleeve, people bemoan a lack of modern personalities in F1 - Hell the guy was true to his word and went rogue.
I agree with Steve Jones - driver of the day.
Delighted with Hamilton win, the collision with Verstappen - smart driving by Hamilton (and Verstappen) - did it ever need investigating? (no)

He did something else

“[The tyres] made it to the end.”

Bumped from 2 to 3 just because of the tension upfront. But really it was just an interesting Monaco GP and with terrible racing as always.

Wasn't a vintage race. But it's not exactly shaping up to be a vintage season. I'd still rather watch a less-than-stellar race at Monaco than a slightly better one in Russia or Abu ******* Dhabi...

Upgraded my pre-race 3 to a 4, given the tension up front and slight chance of unpredictability given the tyres.

Much better to drive in than to watch I suspect but the the tyre drama gave it a bit of punch towards the end.
