Well, there's another wasted afternoon, IMO.

Racing??? In two and a half hours, I saw ONE overtaking manouvure, by Tukima Sato, albeit a mighty fine one.

But honestly, what was there to watch? A lottery to see who would break down/ crash next?

It's unfortunate that Monaco should've fallen immediately after the Austrian GP and the accompanying fiasco. Eddie Irvine was right when he maintained that the Monte Carlo track as an anathema and should be dropped from the calender - surely the venue cannot be seen as one providing the excitement and drama now craved by an impatient vewing audience. It's a dinosaur. Let it slip away quietly and become extinct...

And as for the commentators now justifying Jean Todt's decision to have Shumi win in Austria, HAVING SEEN COULTARD WIN IN MONACO, well, they're as misguided as the rest of the 'auto'crats.

The fans will have the final word on the one and I suspect they're already voting... with their remote controls!

Tell me I'm wrong... :rolleyes:

hav to admit i quite enjoyed todays race, mind you it was theirst i have sat and watched all the way through in a long time.

the start was great, and although very little overtaking happened, it was nice to have a few nail biting sessions about coulthard. plus there was the awesome overtaking manouver with messa and someone else, which ended up with them both going off the track.

still, asmuch as todays was njoyable, i think it is getting more stale. maybes they have to do something like the BTCC did by standardising alot of stuff like gearbox's to makit cheaper, and hopefully get a more level playing field.

just my tuppance

toodles :xsofa:

Yeah I enjoyed that overtakng MrP. It was Sato and some other guy. Brunddle said something like 'they are two hot blooded brazilians with relatively little experience, its all going to end in tears' and a minute later some guy was pushig the other off the track. All wheels locked up! And was it Frenzten who came out the tunnel and 90 degrees with no wheels and front wing?! :eek:
