It's a crap sport.

Slow the cars down so it's safe for the drivers to drive more aggressively and then it might be worth watching. They've gone for speed at the cost of everything else.

Who seriously cares what fuel strategy each team is using?

Just woke up lol.
Pleased that Rici held on. Dull race once we realised that the Ferrari wasn't getting past.

@UFGN: I disagree that it's a crap sport however some changes have to be made. Monaco in the dry is probably the most boring race on the calendar. It just has to be there for the glamour and the history.

Next year due to to have the best change that I've been calling for for years: reducing the aero making it easier to follow the car ahead hence improving overtaking.

Btw there's no such thing as fuel strategy anymore, refuelling has been banned for almost 10 years.

The cars are so fuel efficient and the tech data so perfect that there is no bother at all in this non refueling age. They could probably fuel the car to within 50m of predicted stop distance. During the turbo era that was real fuel risk/reward, cars would constantly run out of fuel on the final laps, often dramatically. That would never happen now as they are too precise and can just warn the driver to conserve a bit if necessary.

Has it really been that long? I kept thinking it was a recent change but now that I think about I've been thinking that for a long time lol

Aye think it was 2010, since then all about whether the tyres are gonna blow up or now whether there's gonna be a safety car.


BOOOOOOOORING. Good to see Hamilton and Alonso slagging off this weekends race anyway.
