Strange phenomenon in the UK, where the BBC are constantly lambasted by a certain demographic. Yet people overseas seem to have great fondness for the BBC.

I've got cable tv here in the Netherlands almost solely for the BBC channels.

If his tires reach the cliff Button can just drive along side him at some point having so much more traction. We've seen this happen quite a few times now.

Well button still has to clear Alonso, who is no easy pass either. We saw how Vettel killed Button's SS tires. Even if they drop off, it's better to stay out now than pit. He can defend instead of guaranteed 3rd.

 

[Omiee]

button is just flying damn!!!

 

[navanman]

This is looking like a senna vs mansell end to the race.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Button is doing everything he needs to give himself the chance to win. I'm interested to see what Vettel and Red Bull are going to do to answer.

 

[Dilly]

Bugger off HRT

 

[Ark]

Button is now only seven seconds off!

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Best Monaco race for years.

Grass is always greener. I presume.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Well if RBR leave Vettel out then it is all or nothing. He'll finish first or smash into the barrier at high speed.

 

[S. L.]

certainly lots of bizzaro strategies today

 

[CurlySaysX]

does Kobayashi have to pit aagain?
If not I hope 2 cars that are ahead of him crash or something.

 

[Omiee]

this is close!! i hope alonso keeps button behind him

 

[hamchan]

I'm loving this.

think Sutil and Kobayashi are both 1 stop

Button and Alonso crashing = Kob on podium

 

[Caramello]

These ONEHD ad breaks are so jarring From marvelous BBC coverage, to jarring Aussie accent and then an ad about some piece of shit insignificant thing, like Rivers clothing or Hardly Normals.

It's quite terrible..

Not enjoying the BBC commentary today though.. They haven't been paying enough attention to what's actually happening on the screen.

 

[brotkasten]

Definitely. If the next Monaco races are as good as this, I'll turn down my hate for this track.

I don't mind paying the license fee, I just think you should have access to TV without the BBC channels, and then not have to pay it.

It's the lack of choice that annoys me.

 

[Aegus]

Vettel to crash, Button to take out Alonso and then Kobayashi wins by passing Sutil.

/troll face.

 

[Omiee]

no way vettel is winning this, i mean come on button is closing in.
and alonso is close

 

[tracky_dacks]

If Vettel doesnt stop again, he would've done 66 laps (I think) on those tyres!

 

[Merino]

Best Monaco race for years.

Just wanted to post that!

 

[Stop It]

Alonso now right up Vettel's tail, and Button isn't getting much slower.

The end of this race could well be very epic indeed.

Don't jinx it.

 

[navanman]

Alonso all over vettel, vettel tyres are gone now.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Vettel to crash, Button to take out Alonso and then Kobayashi wins by passing Sutil.

/troll face.

That would be glorious.

You're right - F5ing this thread keeps me well ahead of the commentary too!

 

[Omiee]

vettel is lucky if he makes the podium, horrible horrible strategy by red bull.

 

[Tenacious-V]

Fuckin hell, best Monaco I think I've ever seen.

 

[brotkasten]

Vettel to crash, Button to take out Alonso and then Kobayashi wins by passing Sutil.

/troll face.

As much as I want Alonso on the podium, this would be so, so awesome.

 

[tracky_dacks]

Another break? Fucking OneHD!!!!!

 

[Ark]

vettel is lucky if he makes the podium, horrible horrible strategy by red bull.

You're assuming that Button will actually pass Alonso.

 

[Dead Man]

Another ad break, last one though. I'm glad they are going back to the BBC coverage quicker than they used to, hearing Rust talk is so aggravating.

 

[Feorax]

Dangerous and irresponsible more like. If Vettel's tyres blow due to the stress, that is going to cause all hell to break loose.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Holding off just Alonso looks like it's a struggle. If Button catches up Vettel could hope that he and Alonso trip eachother up. If Vettel manages to keep those tires going to the end it'll be a phenominal bit of work.

 

[Omiee]

You're assuming that Button will actually pass Alonso.

18 laps left, both vettel and alonso are either going to pit or be slow as fuck in the end.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Oh, this is going to be good.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Savour this while you can. You'll only ever see this finish live once.

 

[John_B]

This seems like a mistake from Red Bull. Those tyres will probably give up at some point.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

18 laps left, both vettel and alonso are either going to pit or be slow as fuck in the end.

If Vettel pits first then he can come back with the SS and make sure of second.

 

[Merino]

Man I'm eating this up. What a race!

 

[Caramello]

Savour this while you can. You'll only ever see this finish live once.

Meanwhile on ONE, some stupid shit I don't care about..

 

[Edmond Dantès]

This race will be remembered.

 

[CurlySaysX]

Fuck off Sutil.

 

[Ark]

18 laps left, both vettel and alonso are either going to pit or be slow as fuck in the end.

We're just seeing a repeat of Barcelona right now, just for a different reason.

 

[brotkasten]

Please don't fuck it up, Alonso. Please don't.

 

[Omiee]

this looks sooo fucking good, top 3 so close to each other

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Vettel pulls out too much at the tunnel and hairpin. It looks like the only spot Alonso can try is into turn 1.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

this looks sooo fucking good, top 3 so close to each other

And Sutil catching.
