Agreed.
Monaco was indeed a snooze. I like the idea of giving them carts, that's a brilliant idea and wants putting up as a serious suggestion.

Monaco is one in qualifications. Apart from the winner all drivers find it slow and boring.

And having watched Montreal, which is supposedly a circuit with many overtaking opportunities, how many overtakes did you count? The stage was set from Lap 1.
I don't know why I wasted my time.

Sounds like tyre saving might be in place but, yes, it was a none eventful race sadly.

I agree, I’m getting a bit fed up with the processional type races, it would be good to see some proper toe to toe racing rather than tactical tyre choices and undercuts etc.

There have been one or two more exciting races this season, just can't remember which they were right now.

Gave up with F1 about three years back after following it all of my life. Just too boring now :( Still follow BTCC though that is still alive :)

BTCC is great, I used to follow that too, just forget when they are on. The format works really well.

Watched the highlights last night and frankly I'm amazed they had enough to put together a show.
Dull dull dull doesn't begin to sum it up.

I don't many of the drivers were that impressed. All Alonso was bothered about was Le Mans, Raikkonen, Hamilton were bored, and so were we.
Hopefully the French Grand Prix will be better as we're going to that one.

I don't any more, followed it for many, many years but they have ruined it and I have now lost my interest. :( Havn't watched it for about four years now and I can't say that I have missed either. Still watch BTCC and Aussie V8's though :)

Guess that will prompt a decision from Daniel R. He is being offered some BIG bucks but seems unsure of best way to go. He would seemingly have to accept a 2nd place behind Hamilton or Vettel if he ventured into either of those teams and he doesn't want to be number 2. Rock and hard place....

Not sure what choice he has, if he can get some good qualifying done he'll be competitive against lewis.

Has anyone been to many F1 races, we're going to the french Grand Prix, but we're not sure if the three days will be too much? Is there enough to fill the days? Might look at going to just qualifying and race.

Thanks mate, we were worried that there would be little to do. What is the catering like, many options? Also, what are prices for beer? :)
