They're supposed to be the best Drivers in the world so they can put up with a few cones, some flashing Orange Lights and a bloke with a Stop/Go board like us mere mortals have to

Be better than having the safety car out for 7 laps

Another solid result for Lewis Hamilton as well taking him up to 2nd in the overall standings. Well done him .

Team Radio - "Lewis, bring the car home, don't forget to pick up Rubber. You'll need it for Kim later otherwise your knob will rot"

I'm seeing a report that 10 drivers got sanctioned for speeding in the pit lane. Alpine are saying that the pit measurements were wrong and that's affected the speed sensor measurements.

It's been a bad day for Formula 1.
The speed sensors were wrong. Repairs in the track failed (I think that it's the same guys that do our potholes).
On this track it's impossible to overtake.

And Kim Kardashian wouldn't speak with Martin Brundle.

Agreed, an all round bad day for the sport.

Felt sorry for Martin that was a bit awkward lol.

Track is a disgrace, think quite a few people want to see Monaco taken off the calendar. It is a boring track.

A statement from Pierre Gasly

"Right now, honestly, I'm heartbroken. I have no words, I have too many emotions to process and I can't understand what has happened.

It just doesn't seem fair to me. I've checked three times with the team to adjust the car's correct speed. On both occasions, I've activated the pit lane speed limiter well before the line, and we're all working so hard for this moment.

I've been doing this for 10 years, 10 years trying to seize opportunities, five podiums, which are nothing in my career, and we cross the finish line in third position in front of the entire French crowd and they take it away from us.

Right now, I don't know what to say".

Are you sure your pothole repair team were hired by F1?

They probably need to hire a good road surfacing team to repair the road and prepare the track for next season, but then there is the weather factor.
If you pull Monaco from the Calendar, what do you replace it with, you probably would have to find another good street circuit or create a new one
