9. Monaco's surroundings were great as always, the battle for the lead was more MSC-ALO Imola 05-06 like, but there was action all over the place. Many DNF's, so exciting!

8 Points for me.

Really exciting race, some actions, and far better than most of the 2014 GPs.
And special kudos for Bianchi and Marrussia's points!

5 Points

Had some drama at the end but you knew that Hamilton never would divebomb Rosberg.

+1 for the Track

so 6 Points

5.

It was okay apart from a tiny bit of drama at the end. I fell asleep through most of it.

Pretty good, but really only saved by incidents and safety cars rather than close racing. 6.

6/10.
Nothing too memorable happened in the front except Kimi once again having problems. Couple of safety cars or some retirements that enabled Marussia to get their first points made the race tolerable though.

8 - there was overtaking (!) and fumes (!!)

anyway some dull parts but Monaco still claims it's position in F1

7, race was cool.

Great driving and passes without too much stupidity, a lot of tension for the lead with the balance shifting one side then the other, a couple mishaps and retirements. What more to ask from a Monaco GP? :)

This is MONACO, this is the best you'll get :p


(Close racing was between Nico and Lewis for 3/4 of the race, it was never going to result in a pass.
Hell, Mansell 3 seconds a lap faster than Senna on faster tyres didn't result in a pass either)

Had enough incident and drama all the way through to keep things bubbling under.
Thought it was odd that throughout all the races over the weekend I didn't once see anyone able to follow in the final corner close enough to get an overtake going in turn 1.
Great to see some divebomb passes in places you don't expect though.
Magnussen's pass on JEV after the safety car was the first ever overtake I've seen at Rass Cass that didn't end in a shunt.

Was so pumped for Kimi doing well in the early going too, shame things unravelled for him when he got Chilton'd :(

So surprising passes, crashes and dramarama, about as good as a dry Monaco can get.

7/10

Well, I still remember just 3 years ago, the best race ever until that red flag.

7 seems fair. You don't expect any passing at Monaco, yet there were several great moves down the field. You never expected Hamilton to pass Rosberg, but at least it was close and then pressure was on. I enjoyed it, anyway.
