I have to say, I found the whole race incredibly boring. I can only recall one overtaking manoeuvre, a couple of yellow flags and Haas being very impressive for a while.
Nice to see Alonso getting credit for his drive, but I found the whole episode extremely dull.
What next from the new owners? Round and round an oval circuit??
Yawn

A good race from Red Bull's perspective, at least for Daniel Ricciardo, Aussie Grit as I am sure Mark Webber would say. Each of the three top teams have now won two races each. A bit early to suggest its wide open although I suspect it would take something for Red Bull to overhaul Mercedes and Ferrari especially as they seems to have the worse reliability?

Posted on 29/05/2018 20:20 by ExtuggerMonaco is such a dramatic venue but Oh Dear!! Surely it must now be dropped from the race calendar IT WAS SO DULL!!!

I somehow doubt that will ever happen. It's a wonderful location with a great atmosphere. I suspect it also attracts more of the rich and powerful than any other race.Daniel Ricciardo did what he needed to do and that was to control the race with what may have been terminal engine problems. The other drivers could have made it a bit more exciting by overtaking him but they probably thought we have second and third comfortably in the bag so why bother? I thought it a bit rich for Lewis Hamilton to complain it was dull when he could have done something about it rather than just a damage limitation exercise!

But as often been said with the current aero it’s easy to catch another car but following at less than a second is near on impossible particularly on a tight track like Monaco. The other aspect is that very few incidents are deemed ‘racing incidents’ so drivers know there is a probability they are going to get penalised and points on their license
