LiamGTR Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Didn't Hill at the start of the program have a joke about being biased against a "certain driver" and then the commentators having a joke about it? I don't htink hIll was joking, although he made it look like he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk6 Si Ross Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Anyone else agree that Monaco is boring and should be dumped in the future for more exciting tracks???? it seems to have some histeria surrounding it that i don't really get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't bother People who think it's boring... let them, im sure it'll be staying on the calender for a long long time It just irks me that we could watch a Hamilton Button 1-2 precession round a dull track for 65 laps and it's 'a fantastic race', yet we have Monaco, with 3 safety cars and a driver starting in the pits and finishing 6th..... and it's boring, dull, rubbish, et al. I think we could have had 3 cars finishing, and lightening striking and killing a driver..... yet after Button went out early doors and Hamilton did little of note, some folk would still have said it was a boring race.

Mk6 Si Ross Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Can i just add i'm not saying it was boring to jump on any bandwagons as i was at work and didn't see 1 second of the race, always have thought Monaco was boring and always will. NOTHING to do with this years race or results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The build up to Monaco is unrivaled. The Yachts, the movie stars, the passion and the desire from the drivers.... The race isteslf always provides crashes, near misses and of course, the tunnel section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Sidrick, even if hamliton and button had got a 1-2, (they'd have to have qualified up there to get it) then i wouldnt call it a good race, i'd have called it a good result, but still a rubbish race. I cant recall a real moment of proper racing, I remember alonso overtaking the crap cars at the back, but I dont recall him physically overtaking his way into 6th, that was all down to his pit strategy that allowed him to leapfrog all the drivers when they pitted.

Perhaps fans think that racing within milimeters of arcos is pretty exciting. there's nothing exciting about 20 cars driving along in single file cos the track is no narrow, even Lewis said there's nowhere to overtake and just tried his best to hold track position around pit stops Alonso pulled off a couple nice overtaking moves coming out the tunnel, monaco will stay on the calendar until f1 is no more, it's a legendary circuit & hasn't that much at all since the 1st race there in 1929, it's the most complex circuit to get right all the way round. Qualifying for pole is no easy task round here. The Cote d'Azur 1st place trophy is the one all the drivers want to have in their cabinet! i know i'd be proud as punch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Proper racing? What about Webber, 3/4 safety cars and EVERYTIME after 5 or so laps he had a 5 second lead EVERY time? Is that not racing? Just because cars aren't side by side doesn't mean it's not racing. Just because Webber absolutly stormed the RACE doesn't mean he wasn't RACING just because he didn't overtake anyone, he didn't need to he was on form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Yes Webber done fantastic, yes all the drivers are very talented, but it just wasnt a spectacle..like the BTCC where cars are fighting round corners EVERY single lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
