This is their blue riband event, so its fair to say its a spectacle.

Indy is more basic and there's a far higher skill and ability level in F1. Its a lot easier to make the swap to Indy from F1 than vice versa, there have only ever been a handful of successes coming into F1. The reason I mentioned Chilton is that he was a fairly ****e F1 driver whose biggest achievement was to finish successive races.

But whatever, you don't care about that

F1's blue riband was quite unspectacle-ish earlier by all accounts.

But, yeah, I don't doubt what you say

Monaco is generally ****, and its a well known anachronism - its one for the celebs and business deals. The real blue riband events are the Italian, Belgian, British, Japanese and Brazilian GPs.

[dom9]

Meh. They're all **** really.

Which is why I don't watch them anymore.

Still, it is good to see Alonso fighting for a win. F1 has missed him as a contender - what a waste.

Standard race finish for Alonso in a McLaren then

[Daniel 7]

Pity. He's far too used to that

[dom9]

That's a bit of a bummer.

[dom9]

Maybe it is is if you don't follow it. Max Chilton in 5th place ffs

First. I have literally no idea who he is.

[dom9]

And.. a pile up.

F1 no hoper backmarker who paid for his seat in a bad team. He was painfully out of his depth in F1

[Daniel 7]

On his day, unbeatable. Lewis had that race sewn up as soon as he pulled away - great performance all weekend, and some more evidence that Mercedes are pulling away from Ferrari in the development race too. They should have won in Baku, won in Austria easily and a 1-2 against the odds here yesterday. Vettel was losing his head again - its quite possible this season's Mercedes v Ferrari battle will end up a Mercedes top two finish again.

FerrrrrrrrrOuch!!!

[RichC]

Vettel at fault with that I think
