Yes, it does look like a great spot. I'll have to keep that in mind. Glad you had such a good time.

Indy series ovals scare me. Texas and this track are just too fast.

Holy crap! The Monaco marshals are typically the best in the business, crazy to see that happen

Yes, shocking. That can't be allowed to happen. Good heavens that was close to tragedy.

I'm not a seasoned Indy follower by any means but it looked to me that Pagenaud got a bit lucky, not really doing anything to manage fuel (ignoring requests from the pitwall) and instead gambling on there being an accident so that he could save fuel while the yellows were out. Without that Bourdais...

Wos what a race! Fantastic stuff!

Who wins best of the rest, Ferrari or Red Bull?

Who wins formula 1.5?

Who wins formula 1.9, Kubica or Russell?

Hamilton
Ferrari
Danny Ric
Russell

I can't wait! Every year I grumble about Monaco being a crummy race and then, as the race approaches I get so excited, almost giddy about it. One day I must go see it in person. I hope there is some good racing today. Lewis will probably be impossible to beat, so I am looking forward to some battles...

RIP Nikki. Very sad news indeed. He was a true legend, a cornerstone of F1. Very bummed about this news.

Wow. Very disappointing. What a farce.

jimmyj

So bummed I can't watch any of this in my area. Sounds like Alonso is going to disappoint.

Ah yes. That is sad.

Well done Charles

Yes Bottas has done so well.

Amazing isn't it. Hoping for scraps instead of glory.

Now this is interesting

Nope

Put a top tier Indy driver in the best car in F1 and you'll have a winner. Both series have some great talent.

jimmyj

I generally dislike street courses, but will remain cautiously optimistic and hope they can get it right. If it is another crappy processional track I will be disappointed.

jimmyj

Excellent!

Maybe they could attach blocks of metal to the bottoms of the cars to create a shower of sparks.

Pretty impressive to be comparing Hammy and Charles already. I really like Leclerc, my new favourite driver.

jimmyj

I haven't been this excited in quite some time. I have to work today when the race is on, but I'm going to tape it and sequester myself away from the news until I can watch it. I'm so excited for Leclerc.

I hope You gatecrash the podium ceremony with a placard having 'Planet F1 Forum Rules' written on it in Capitals. It would be a 1st for a member from here & will make our forum world famous!

This discussion makes me happy. It means we are paying attention to IndyCar!

jimmyj

Indeed but when F1 is judged to be boring because of the lack of overtaking that's mainly a product of the cars being so much faster than Indycars, Indycars being 14 seconds slower than F1 cars is probably mainly because of the crude aero which conversely allows the car to follow more closer and al...

I get that this is primarily an F1 fan forum, but Indy and F1 are different. So why not enjoy them both?

My friends and I were there and it was quite exciting to see. I agree the late caution cheated Power and Rossi, but Herta drove like a star and it was great to see him win. The track limits thing was a bit shocking but in reality I don't think it made any difference because they were all treated th...

Yep, we can agree to disagree. Why does it have a social obligation to politics? And why only F1? Do you see that in any other shows that gain TV exposure? Do they do a minute's silence on every program televised? Are you outraged that they didn't hold a minute's silence in Britain's got Talent? Do...

jimmyj

I agree with you. But i think a strong social movement like the "me too" one could be paralleled with a peace movement. I know it is ideological and somewhat contradictory.

jimmyj

Because very sadly attacks like this are not that rare globally - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents_in_March_2019 If you memorialise this one you have to memorialise all of them. Otherwise you open your self up to criticism where the sport will get labled hypocritical and be...

jimmyj

I would like to see F1 adopt a policy endorsing peace and tolerance in general, including perhaps a symbol on the cars etc. Frankly I'd like to see it as a world wide movement. To me that makes more sense than one off responses to tragedies or disasters. The tough part of this sort of thing, is once...
