    They really should get rid of Monaco. I mean, they won’t. But they should.

    And lose the excitement of a race where I don't believe that a single overtake occurred after lap one?

    The only reason to keep it, is so Charles gets a chance to just once finish his home race.

    He has been so unlucky!
    I agree though. I love the Monaco track but it is no longer suitable for racing and hasn't been for a long time.

    Nothing official but it looks inevitable.

    Oh yes I agree . I have liked / supported him for a few years now , but even I’m starting to feel he has had more than enough chances .

    Bit harsh Jasper - he did a huge amount for F1, for calling newspapers to account, for ending the News of the World, but mostly for safety both in the sport and in road vehicles.

    You may not have particularly agreed with some of his other facets, but he's a man that achieved a great deal of good things.

    I thought his calling out of the press for their invasion of his privacy ? He was right to do that and I’m glad he won . Anyone would have done what he did for F1 in that position ( imho ) . What I will never forgive him for was his personal vendetta against RD . If McLaren had gone to the wall , all those people would have lost their jobs because he didn’t like someone . He was an arrogant Pratt .

    Yeah, I agree with that. A lot of people don't like Ron, but on the few occasions I met him he was nothing but very gracious and good with me. I like the bloke (whereas I doubt I would have liked Mosley or Bernie). Mosley's son committed suicide shortly after the NOTW "reveal" about the sex party though, and that's just horrid.

    I have literally no idea who's going to end up on pole.

    Lewis will take P2 all day long. Ironic that Charles potentially benefited from a crash to get on pole!
