Here's hoping the Mercedes upgrades debuting this weekend make a huge difference. Not just for Mercedes but for the state of F1. We need to see progression from the rest of the grid to rein in the Red Bulls to stop it being a snooze fest.

Heavy dose of irony given we're at Monaco this week
To be fair this track is boring, but for me its a different type of skill on show here, and always enjoy it.
Especially if we get rain in Quali and midway through Sunday
I wonder if they'll stick to the original idea of it being a World Cup of drivers, from what I can remember quite a few big names took part at some point

I reckon so. Pretty much the same format apparently. Hope they continue using the v8s on the biofuels. As a series it was well ahead of the curve.
Because it is so difficult to overtake any car, the qualifying becomes more exciting. Also, the track brings the difference to the Red Bull in a bit so it is hard to perdict who will get pole which will help.
I think Mercedes will be reasonably happy with that, let’s face it, it wasn’t a suitable circuit at which to fine tune their all important upgrades, I think there’s more to come from them over the next few months. 🤞🤞🤞
Which of course ends with Verstappen on pole... What an effort from Alonso though
Dare I say it but I think it will prove to be way more exciting than the race itself.
Yeah need rain to arrive, after the race starts for proper drama
Imagine it'll show up when Verstappen is down in P8 after a bad start, with the drama putting him straight back into P1 again - Bloke has unbelivable luck
Only saving grace is that we've seen Hamilton, Norris, Sainz and Perez all in the barriers this weekend already, so perhaps we'll get drama from that.
Indy 500 will be the one to watch tomorrow though in reality
Will be at Brands Hatch tomorrow for the masters historic meeting, really not bothered about Monaco at all. Will definitely be watching the Indy though, it’s a really good race series and the 500 is on my bucket list.
Victor Martins though, how the hell he didnt get Black Flagged for almost killing two Marshalls is ridiculous. Great job from Race Control, to basically split the field so he wasnt overly penalised.
Harsh on Bearman, who had an excellent race... thats the luck of the Safety Car though

Race currently stopped, 14 lap shoot out left after a crash. Incredible in car footage of Kyle Kirkwood travelling upside down after clipping a car and flipping.

Aston to switch to Honda power from 2026
Red Bull (Ford)
Aston Martin (Honda)
Ferrari (Ferrari)
Mercedes (Mercedes)
Sauber (Audi)
Alpine (Renault)
Alpha Tauri
McLaren
Williams
Haas
With Andretti (Cadillac) looking to enter too, and Porsche lurking in the shadows.
Guess Lawrence Stroll thinks the only way for Aston to truly challenge at the front is to have a " works" engine deal.

Doesnt give us any hope for the F1 tomorrow, if the Junior series can behave round here.
Only the rain can save it

He gets no luck around Monaco does he
Passed four cars on Lap One, then overcut four cars via. the pits, albeit loses a place to Iwasa on cold tyres
He'd have been fighting for the win surely if he hadnt fucked his Quali

Just so happens our room also has a view of the start line at Silverstone. Minor details. She loved being woken up by 1970s F2 cars at 9am 😂
