    Then attempting to spin himself round in the face of oncoming traffic.

    Williams, but mostly Maldonado. So much expectation for this weekend. They leave with one point. Bruno perhaps unlucky with strategy after a poor qualy while Maldo just looked dangerous.

    Clearly Maldonado... Pulled an idiotic move and not only fecked his own weekend, but also Perez's.

    If i could, I'd give it to Dmitry Suranovich for driving like a total cucumber with no effing wing.

    Bernie, for sanctioning this bore-fest. If these tyres couldn't liven it up, then nothing will. Even Spain and Bahrain were good, and they're normally dreadful too.

    The tyres prevented overtaking.

    Formula One (c) for holding that 'race'.

    Bridgestone.

    That was, wtihout a doubt, the worst "race" that I have seen in a long time.

    Why did F1 get so greedy? Last year was great. Even the Monaco GP was interesting last year. I just saw the BBC F1 page with the main story being "Webber wins thrilling Monaco GP" Thrilling? Really? It was a total waste of 3 or 4 hours of my Sunday, when I could have been doing plenty of other things more interesting, like sanding door frames.

    Maldonado/Button/Grojean. But for me Grojean, for hitting two people for no apparent reason.

    Maldonado - obvious reasons really, such a shame after his win in Spain

    OR

    Toro Rosso - for ruining the race for Vergne, which would have been his best finish. No wonder he had a face like thunder

    Monaco is a difficult place to overtake as it is, but when everything off line is knee deep in marbles, who wants to even risk it?

    Marbles were not an issue in the lack of overtaking, Monaco was.

    I also find it funny that when there is loads of overtaking people complain that it is "contrived" and all Pirelli's fault, then when there is not overtaking it is again Pirelli's fault.

    Not saying that Monaco isn't a pain in the arse for overtaking, but the junk off-line rendered it all but impossible.

    Everyone who thinks it was TR's fault about bringing Vergne in. He had to pit to use the option tyres so he risked it on inters. He wouldnt have scored if he went to options.

    yeah, the way they 'degrade' is simply ridiculous, sometimes the off-line portions of the track resemble a building site, to call a brick shaped 3 inch piece of rubber a 'marble' is a bit of a joke
