Verstappen wins the race/parade in Monaco, and with Hamilton only finishing 7th, he now leads the World Championship.

We didn't even get any Mazepin entertainment. Best thing I can say is at least the result closed up the title race.

I know this might be somewhat of a controversial opinion.. But I honestly wouldn't be upset if F1 got rid of the Monaco Grand Prix.
I know it's not going to happen but it's pretty obvious that the Cars have outgrown the track.

I mean I'd still class it for him going above and beyond in managing to exceed track limits at a track where there is only 3 places to do so and you'd have to actively try to cut any of them.

Meanwhile, we have a proper wet NASCAR race at COTA. I don’t think that ever happens normally.

hey you know how in wet races in F1 they have these bright red lights on the back of the cars?
y'know, like they easily could put on Nascars exactly where the painted on brake lights are?

He wasn't the only one to get warned about track limits though which takes something away from it. Think of what he could have achieved: spin in the wrong place, get his car wedged and block the entire track, causing a red flag.

The real disappointment is he didn't attempt any heroics into San devote

All race we seen track limit warnings pop up while at the same time seeing back markers dip off track at the chicanes to let others by. Most should have been ignored. Lando on the other hand, I’m not sure how he avoided a time penalty

Extreme E final turns into a 2 car 1 lap shootout as JBXE and X44's cars take each other out on the first turn.
Rosberg Racing wins their second of the year.

Also I just spent like an hour watching Indy 500 build up only to find out there's another 45 minutes of build up and go do something else for that time.
America, you don't need this much hype BS for your sporting events.

America, you don't need this much hype BS for your sporting events. I saw 11am on the IndyCar website and thought, "Oh, that's early for the race to start." Turn the TV on and.... pre-show.... race scheduled to "start" at 12:30. But then again, Mania has started getting this much pre-show hype, and of course, the Super Bowl with 6 HOURS OF PRE-SHOW!!!! I think we're kinda de-sensitized to it, and most of us just ignore it until they sing the anthem and "Back Home Again...." for Indy.

So weird not having Monaco to start the morning.
But I'm happy the race is live local this year.

Veekay blinks first on the stops and also narrowly avoids a speeding penalty.
