None of those races are as important for pole as Monaco though. Nico's race to lose now.

If Nico gets off the line well it's going to be very difficult for Lewis to get past him; one thing that might be a factor is the fuel, Lewis has been so economical this season so far he might be able to crank it up a bit and go for an undercut with the stops if need be.

I generally find this race ****ing boring but it might well be very interesting this time around

It could be a fiery first corner anyway,it really is all or nothing in Monaco. Get there first and you win 9 times out of 10.

[Daniel 7]

Fuel shouldn't really be an issue, they don't have prolonged hammering of the engine round this track, and bumble around at relatively slow speeds. I suppose it might if someone fuels light - doubt it though.

Reckon Lewis is going to be ultra aggressive though - Nico doesn't have that in his armoury. Lewis has that cold eye assassin thing about him.

Thank **** the most hyped race of the season is over, on to Canada

[G]

That one really needs to be put out to pasture.I don't know how the drivers all love it when they have no chance of getting past anybody. Boring as ****.

[RichC]

Terrible race isn't it. It'll never be dropped from the calendar as £££££££££££ talks

[G]

Suppose its exciting to drive that close to barriers etc but it really isn't exciting to watch,no matter what F1 people say about how "fascinating" it is every year. After qualifying the whole weekend dies on its arse every year. Time to leave it in the past where it belongs but I agree it never will be unfortunately.

Lewis is behaving like a complete spoilt brat at the moment, all of his comments and his behaviour since yesterday's qualifying have been frankly embarrassing

Can see him ending up back at McLaren next year if things keep going this way

[G]

Heard him say he'll do his talking on the track.Needs to listen to his own advice. Nothing he could do today after yesterday but theres a long way to go,he'll be champion if he carry's on the way he has up to now,no doubts.Just needs to get on with it,stoking the fire with Nico seems to be riling himself up more than Nico!

It can be dull to watch on tv, however I was there last year and it is utterly magic for reasons I'm not sure of. I was standing no further than 4ft away from the cars as they shot by out of Marnia chicane. Also had a good view of the giant screen so I could see the rest of the race. Walking the track afterwards was also cool.
With the crap sound from the engines this year, im glad it was last year I went.

Hi guys haven't been on for ages. Seems we actually have an exciting season coming up. I agree I like to see that in a driver. Schumacher like, and although I'd love to see Lewis win the championship he needs to stop throwing his toys out

[Daniel 7]

Hello AJ, how are you?

[Aj34]

Good thanks Daniel. You ??

[RichC]

Looked like the Mercs touched in the first corner, it'll be interesting to see what's said about that
