Congrats to Max and Checo. Same to George. Excellent dicing with Max. Good to see both of them playing nice. Also great to see Lewis come back up to 5th after his contact with KMag. Looks like Mercedes is finally on the right path. Monaco is going to be fun.

Toto double downs on the no sidepod concept. Here George Russel tests Mercedes' latest hail Mary concept.

That was boring. There was like no passing in the last 30 minutes.

Yeah, but the top four nose to tail was exciting. You never know what could have happened. But, your right, typical Monaco. The cars have outgrown the track.
Yeah I was wondering if Checo was going to lock up or slide since his tires were going. F1 doesn’t need Monaco anymore unless they start using go karts.

Monaco is typically one of the most boring races aside from the danger of crashing. I'd love to see it slightly re-worked to help with passing opportunities.

Hello; Same sort of talk about Martinsville NASCAR race. Difference being Monaco is a playground for the very wealthy who like things the way they are. Do not see it being removed from the schedule.

By the way the marina at Monaco looked a bit better on TV than the one at the Florida race.

I hope your right but Liberty Media is all about TV viewership. As you pointed out Monaco is a spectacle but a boring race. If the TV ratings fall it may be gone.

Good call. I had already forgotten about that Miami joke. đź‘Ť

FIA’s Formula 1 executive director and secretary general for sport has resigned and replaced by Toto Wolff advisor.

Will her first act be to add energy drinks to the banned sponsors list like alcohol and tobacco OR to make driver jewelry mandatory?
Hello; Is banning alcohol and tobacco sponsors a "being woke" thing? It would be interesting to see the RED BULLS going around without their livery.

I get it. In the name of equity all drivers must wear token amounts and styles of traditional jewelry from around the world.

Nothing woke about it. Alcohol and tobacco have been banned for years. Just as in almost every other sport. Red Bull is an energy drink. Lots of caffeine, no alcohol.
