Botas said Red Bull are untouchable... says it all. Shame Max tried to copy Dan and obviously smashed it....
So forgetting the crash test dummy, will Danny win? Last year he could have but the team messed up the pits changes.

Let's see what happens! He just said finishing the race is the most important thing today. We're about to find out..
Ricardo's not getting his battery energy. Poor guy. He never gets the luck at Monaco.
Suspect he'll need a second pit stop which will hand Victory to Vettel.
Unless of course they all have to stop again, which could play into Bottas and Alonso who are on the harder tyres.
Lots to play for.

Agreed. All the history and glamour doesn't change that fact that it's no longer suitable as a 'race track' as it is impossible to race, even with a car producing 20% more power than the one in front 
And look, RIC is my favorite driver from a personality standpoint and I want him to win, but if you're down significant speed and no one legitimately challenges you when you're in front, that's not racing.
Just turn Monaco into an exhibition event.
No way you can pass. This is just a tyre management race.
Max has been entertaining, but only because he started at the back.
Daniel deserves the win. Hope he gets it.

Thought we were going to get to the end without a crash!
[doublepost=1527433168][/doublepost]Well done Daniel. Well deserved. But let's be honest should we be celebrating such a slow race?
Not a great watch.

Congratulations to RBR and Daniel. An absolute master class in driving. I'll go Horner one better and say it was a better drive than Michael in 95. Quite a bit of excitement mid pack all race for a change.
New engines and upgrades in Canada next. Will RBR keep the pace?

Yes we should. You just witnessed one of the greatest Race Management Drives of the past 20 years.

Lewis calls everything a problem when he can't be spoon fed instructions from his Team Engineer to tell him what to do.
When did F1 turn into Race Management Driving. Christian has just summed it up with, I quote 'Dani managed the race like he was on a Sunday afternoon drive'. F1 should NEVER be comparable with a Sunday afternoon drive

Um, yes. That was my point. The skill set required to make it look easy is a learned skill set over thousands of race miles.

I think Canada is going to be one fantastic race this year. I love the circuit and new power plants plus upgrades always have the ability to mix it up.
That pool looks manky. Webber did a better winners dive!

Good day for Australian Motorsport as Will Power takes the Indy 500.
Any Aussies in NASCAR for the Coca-Cola 600?

Wasn't there an guy from Australia years ago in NASCAR? I think he ran a season or two? Marcus Ambrose.

And he won a race or two as well. He was a pretty decent driver.

This is an unforgivable error of design (which, er, they haven't forgiven and have sacked their head designer), but also testing. How on earth did it take them so long to realise this? It must have been obvious pretty early on as Barcelona has quick corners in it.

Sometimes design floors just get missed!
Antenagate.
MacBook Pro keyboard.
But yes pretty shocking.
I'm going to say nothing and sit back until the wind blows over!Unclear if the spelling mistake is ingenious pun or genuine error ...
