That's one of the race weekends I enjoy the most! Monaco is an awesome place!

Good for crashes and strategy based surprising results, (or fails) not so good for RACING

For the first time we seem to be getting the Formula 3.5 series LIVE though on BT Sport, normally Bernie has an embargo on live action at Monaco, can't remember that ever happening before.

After the past 2 years of being screwed out of a win, Lewis will probably think Monaco owes him.
Which means he'll either dominate the weekend or wall it Senna style and rosberg will cruise to an easy win.

Haas ftw?

In before everybody else:

- Monaco sucks
- It's a glorified go-kart racetrack
- It's an event for rich assholes to showcase their yachts and bikinis
- No RACIN'
- Monaco sucks

Now that we've got that out of the way, I just hope someone pulls a Trulli and creates a lol-train. lol-trains in Monaco are the best.

BTW, who is this era's Trulli?

Monaco can be boring as hell, but can be very entertaining as well.

as a certain Mr. Gump once said, "it's like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you're gonna get"

Something I scanned a long time ago:

it's a comment about the famous 1984 Monaco Grand Prix:

another picture I found in my photobucket account:

Phill Hill and Bruce McLaren. I'm not sure what the gesture means by Hill.

rain

The 3.5 race was live on BT Sport certainly in 2014 and possibly in 2015 as well. By the way, this year it's actually Formula Renault 2.0 that's racing, which at least guarantees a much healthier grid.

Crashes!!!



Probably jinxed it -> Incident-free weekend.

we need a 1996 repeat.

Every race so far had some accidents on the start of the race,pretty sure Monaco will suprise us and it will be a trouble free boring weekend. (hope I jinxed it )

I don't trust weather forecast so much for F1 races, but we could expect two things: treacherous rain that wouldn't allow racing in their opinion (like Canada 2011) or bone dry weather for boring race (and obviously, another Rosberg victory)

I do enjoy Monaco because of the history and it is a proper street circuit which I enjoy a lot.

Last year was interesting because of Verstappen's big stunt, Alonso's first points finish with the Honda engine and Hamilton being so upset all the way until the podium celebrations.

probably will end up like 2007 - a completely overcast snoozer

Are you sure it's 3.5? As far as I know, Monaco race was dropped from 3.5 calendar and only Renault 2.0 will be racing at Monaco this time!

It's Renault 2.0 that's a Monaco, 11am Sunday iirc

Please don't tease us with the prospect of rain.
