This clip gets my heart racing. Incredible angle and example of speed that virtually none of the traditional broadcast camera angles offer. It feels like watching the cars live. Pulse quickens and I get butterflies a little bit.

Oh ffs. Spent the last week in the shop every night working on my car and forgot about this one. Second carry over for me? Not a good start to the season but I think this one will see a few of our regulars knocked out on the start.

Will be an absolute travesty if they can't get a new contact done for Monaco.

I wouldn’t miss it. The track is boring, the race is boring, the people and the country are overhyped. I don’t care about celebrities and I don’t care about tax havens for the ultra rich.

Qualifying is entertaining but the race isn’t even a race. No one is pushing or driving to the limit because it’s impossible to overtake so there’s no real necessity to push hard or take any risks.

Not to mention the fact that it’s Monaco’s fault if they lose the race. Their refusal to give up their god awful tv coverage is bonkers and their desire to independently sell advertising is not gonna fly anymore (although I do tend to think most race contracts are heinously in favour of F1 and screw over the promoter).

If they don’t renew, it’ll be entirely their own fault. Their only saviour is that they’ve managed to rile up the fans and media by convincing them that the race is still a crown jewel and/or relevant. It’s neither.

But props to their PR team because they’ve convinced the media to collectively lose their #### and keep pushing the narrative that it’s Monaco or some barren Middle East garbage dump for race choices. Since they don’t race in the Middle East in May, that’s not really the alternative.

It's a far better race than Jeddah or Miami.

I think it's very important to stay on the calendar until the eventual merger between F1 and Formula E.

If they don’t do a standing start then this is a travesty. Go out and do 2 or 3 laps behind the safety car to clear some water and then do a proper start.

Of course I just ####talked Monaco as being boring and now we get one of the most dramatic races in years. Rain, lead changes, strategy errors, red flag.

Actually I take all of that back. That’s probably the end of the action. Track is dry and 3 hour race clock is running out fast. We’ll be luck to hit 60 laps. And there won’t be another overtake the rest of the way. Everything about the time limit just makes it feel like we get ripped off.

I feel bad for the people who paid to sit out there for 4 hours to watch an hour of actual racing.
