    It's funny because most people were throwing up when they first saw the 2009 big wings but actually they look a lot nicer.

    I always liked them. Never been keen on the tall rear wings though.

    Vandoorne wins again. First driver to win the opening three feature races of a season.

    Apparently they had grid boys instead of girls in Monaco this weekend. Vettel was not impressed.

    Hes got a point. Grid full of male drivers enough already let alone male flag bearers.

    He's a random question, does anyone know what the penalty is for overtaking the safety car? If it's anything other than dsq then it could be totally worth it if you were pretty conniving? Get well up the road but don't lap the lead pack, more than enough gap to serve a penalty :)

    I know the safety car is supposed to let all past except the lead car so maybe they'd just reset the safety car period. You could wait to the safety car in this lap warning and then nail it haha. I'd like to say theres ample rules to cover this idea but FIA and well thought out are rarely related statements.

    I do have some weird thoughts sometimes!

    17 drivers having gained atleast a point really shows the quality of the grid today.

    If its like the F1 game, you die and turn into a ghost car. Thats why they dont do it. Ask Heidfelt and Inoue

    It's quite ironic how the best driver is the only person capable of getting points not having any. Yeah he should have gotten points in both Spain and Monaco (Arguably Malaysia too) but yeah, point stands.

    Ironic. He is the best driver on the grid.

    On the other hand, only five drivers have scored a podium.
