It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
It's the worst racing in years. It's not even the best battle of points in years.
So far you're right, i think what saves this season for many is the nice looking and fast cars and Mercedes dominance being a thing of the past

Wow, the first hour was awesome! The Test Punch completely sold me on ARMS!
The second hour, with some cars driving around some streets, was pretty awful.

Amazing argument, well-articulated.
If we don't count the start or the safety car situation then we only had Perez trying to overtake Kvyat and that went poorly.
I might have felt some enjoyment if Raikkonen had won it. Not sure why Ferrari thought they had to use him as a guard against the desperat undercut attempt from Verstappen. It landed him in traffic and cost him the win.
Also Magnussen is weirdly unlucky. Two races in a row where he has to pit from a strong position with a puncture.

We had much more than that, but useless tv director missed almost all of it. There was passing and repassing between Perez and Stroll, Palmer, and Kvyat and we only saw one move on Kvyat. I think there were at least 5 overtakes involving Perez.
I don't know how I coped with ITV's coverage. Couldn't do with adverts during the race now.

Wehrlein left the door wide open allowing Button up the inside, he then looked at his mirror and shut the door. It was his fault 100% - those blaming Button need to look at the onboards again.
Button is a gentleman and a scholar.

You can make the same argument for the Pérez/Kvyat clash. But and Per deserve a penalty.
Why bother articulating when your straight out wrong. The fact you have two manufacturers that are competing with each other at the top for the first time for what, 6 plus years? Means it cannot be the worst for years.

Those 90 minutes were more entertaining that pretty much any dry Monaco.
Sure, if you're interested in the change of WCC points in a spreadsheet at the end of each race, then this season is spectacular. If you're interested in watching the cars race each other then this is shit.
The battle in the WDC has been more interesting in most of the last few seasons, if numbers are your thing.
God that was terrible. Pretty sure they missed Kimi's retirement at Hungary 06, I may have thrown something at the TV.

Well, that's funny. Just when C4 went on an ad break, I switched to Sky, only to see that they're on a break, too. Happened twice now.

Oh sod off, Wax. Seriously, we can do without your shitposting.

If only he had a chance to test the car before the GP.
Button's problem was that he went for a gap that was always going to disappear. Trying to overtake on Monaco is always going to be difficult, but he misjudged it big time on that corner.
McLaren should install Wax into one of their cars. His superior spinning might make the car competitive again. Although the torque might be too much to handle. His motivation would last longer than two races, though.

At least they can count on his reliability to spin as hard as possible, unlike with Honda.

Verstappen highlights Monaco 2017
Thanks.
Webber says Perez is up for the spot.
Either him or Sainz. Who else is there to get at this point?
I would assume Perez, Sainz and Leclerc are the three biggest in contention.

Not Grosjean?

Would love this so much, he's been driving great all year, except for today's fuck up.
Leclerc is not gonna happen. Doesnt have experience at all. Sainz is possible. But to "young" for Ferrari still. So Perez is the obvious choice or Grosjean. His whole reason to go to Haas was for the Ferrari shortcut.
Oh, I forgot about him. Sure, I guess he could be up there too.
He has 3 years of F1 experience by then. That is enough for Ferrari.
I agree Leclerc is unlikely but it's always sounded like they really, really rate him. So idk.
Sainz has enough experience by now.

First 60 laps were Monaco, the remaining 18 were kinda funny. Watch the highlights later on the Youtube channel. Vettel had the better strategy.
I don't think age matters at all. Experience? Yes. Age? Nah.
Dont know, Just following the Ferrari pattern really.

I think people assume that Kimi is going to quit, rather than getting fired.
