Magnussen just needs a race ban at this point, he’s out of control or just terrible.

Lap 1 red flag could make a boring race even worse if there’s no pit stop strategies to take into account.

Honestly think it was just a normal racing accident (talking about the Perez/Magnussen crash)

Has there been any passing? Sorry but damn this track sucks. This type of follow the leader racing is boring. At least with NASCAR, Scrub got roundhoused in a non points race and they have had some close finishes this year.

Could be a boring day with this race day and if Indy & Charlotte get rain.

Monaco is a boring watch, but at least we’re looking at what could be a very entertaining championship. There are now 5 cars that could win any race with Max plus the Ferraris and McLarens. Probably need a Max DNF to give a real fight for drivers championship with Charles, but the constructors championship is game on with Checo being a disaster again.

Actual optimism and excitement after the first third of the season!

Good for Charles, the post race was pretty fun. Brutal race though. I like the idea the broadcasters brought up of a mandatory pit stop in Monaco, have to do something.

I too think that may be the easiest way to go. Force a 2 or even 3 stop pit rule for this race if you want to see an interest. You could go crazier like stint 1, stint 2, etc, but I don't think that would sit too well. I say make them take 2 or 3 pit stops and you would get all kinds of crazy going on with strategies.

Feel sorry for those people, I gave up after the red flag knowing it would be excruciatingly boring.

I made it a little further but not much. I checked out as soon as we knew the cars on mediums were going to make it to the end.

Sounds to me like Alpine is ready to drop a hammer on Ocon.

Ocon is not good enough to be a crappy team mate. If you are Max or Lewis, you can be a crap teammate and get away with doing some stuff. Ocon is hated by everyone he has ever teamed up with. He is not good enough to do that. I would say their are probably 5 driver's on the grid that are that good. Max, Lewis, Lando, Charles, and Fernando.
