There may be some merit in having a Grand Prix in Monaco - teams can test out engines or something, millionaires can have parties on their yachts - but ffs what is the point of it as a sporting event? Hamilton won today because of a slow pit stop by his challenger and then he held him up and stopped him overtaking for the next FORTY FIVE laps. BBC call that 'epic' and even 'heroic' but I think he should have been arrested for holding up traffic rather than applauded. Given the new-style race circuits at Singapore etc where they race under lights, isn't it time they did night racing at Monaco; or should the powers that be (Ecclestone) think the unthinkable and ditch Monaco from the circuit altogether?

Can't abide F1 and in truth "Motor Sport" is an absolute contradiction in terms for me. Although tbf I prefer it to rugby

But then you would prefer surgery without anaesthetic to rugby maroon. Lol

I quite enjoy motor sport but Monaco serves no purpose to a viewing audience. Just a procession round the playground of the rich. No excitement, no drama. probably just exists because most of the drivers live there. Bin it!
Still better than rugby!

And yet the drivers love it.

When Hamilton won the championship with some sham of a "breakdown" on the last lap letting him through I stopped watching. To me it is WWE with wheels. Eccleston and his cronies cook up who will win and then they put on a show. The new lad Verstappen is now the golden boy, watch him win races in a "fairytale story" which they can crow about.
Even if it isn't a fix it is more about the engine than anything else. Its like a football game but one team has to kick a brick using steel toecap boots while the other has the latest lightweight boots and swerving ball, oh and they have the ref in their pocket! ( So a bit like SEVCO in the lower leagues!)
On the rugby comments, you are showing a lack of breeding, good job I am around to raise the level of decorum!
