I've also realised something similar; that I'm going to be on the road driving for three hours for the duration of the race (and then some). I hope you enjoy the epicness that will be the 2014 Monaco Grand Prix. There's no way this race is going to be boring if I won't be able to see it

Anything can happen. Remember in 2012 we had random winners each race, and we tought its gonna be a exciting race and everything and it was all but exciting.. But we watch cuz no one knows what will happen.. |

If that was "all but exciting" then I'll just give up on motorsport altogether. |

Maybe the race can be fun for some of our members. There is a possibility of huge trains and crazy stuff going by GP2 race. The Supersoft lasts for just some 8 laps or less, then it is already much slower than the Softs. This compound would be hilarious in a track like Barcelona or Silverstone. Most likely it would be like a qualifying tyre from the late 80's/early 90's, ie, lasts barely one flying lap, then it's already totally wasted. Maldonado will bring at least one SC, so there is chance for abnormalities in the racing order. I think this race won't be worse than the average Monaco level, but then, that is easy as it's a really low one. |

The only excitement for me was "will the rain get heavier?" Now 2011. That could have been great. Top 3 really close, with Vettel first but on destroyed tires. Then that red flag happened and Vettel was allowed to change tires on the grid, gone excitement. Man I was frustrated. But unfortunately, for Monaco, it doesn't matter how close the cars are. They will not overtake. But it is still Monaco so I forgive them. |

2011 GP was way better than 2012, at least there was action. While 2012 it was a close train with 5 cars 78 laps.. I dont see action in that.. |

Just came across the footage of 2004 pileup brought by Sato's BAR engine explosion. And I caught myself thinking that any technical fluid doesn't effect on the tyre grip nowadays. Or I just don't remember any recent incidents caused by a car losing liquid in race conditions. |

cars don't spill fluids because the team call the drivers to retire before it happens |

There's 3 types of action, even on the widest road courses: 1) Battling in and out between equal cars, exchanging positions, through many laps (Bahrain this year). 2) The guy behind is slightly faster --> Laps and laps of following and trying to get close and find an opening, mostly with no side-by-side action or any actual attempts (Alonso vs Maldonado at Spain 2012) 3) The guy behind is much faster --> he eats up the other and flies off in the distance (every battle with worn tyres). My point is: Case 1: Not possible at Monaco, but it happens very rarely even on the best tracks. Don't expect that from a given race or you're doomed to disappointment. Case 2: Monaco provides just the same as other tracks. Case 3: Monaco provides better than the other tracks because it allows the battle to be much longer. Monaco wins.

last time I slept during a race was China 2010. I was sick and it is one of my greatest regrets in my history watching F1 is been a while since the last time Monaco hosted a great race (2008), if this year doesn't get good, for sure next year will |

I know some people have said that Monaco is outdated but I love the challenges of street circuits. Hence my interest (or is it obsession?) with the Birmingham Superprix. |
