This weekend sees F1 return to Monaco.

Haas have prepared accordingly.

McLaren are also running a special livery and team wear livery for the weekend with the special liveried driver's helmets been raffled off in aid of the charity MIND.

Verstappen is yet to make the podium here after he was demoted from 2nd to 4th the last time out here after an unsafe pit release into Bottas.

You'd have to fancy the Mercs and Red Bulls to lock out the the first two rows in qualifying but it could make it a really interesting race if a McLaren or a Ferrari could sneak a car onto the second row.

Predictions,

1) Verstappen
2) Hamilton
3) Ricciardo
4) Leclerc
5) Alonso
 
The Monaco race is all that is bad about F1.

No overtaking, too expensive for the regular fan to attend and the only spectacle is on the private yachts.

Big F1 fan here but it wouldn't bother me in the slightest if they never raced there ever again.

Exactly this 👍. It is a GP that is all about prestige & money and nothing about racing. The most pointless race of the season for me, Q3 decides the outcome in the main.

"Really interesting race" is not a phrase I'd associate with the Monaco GP. I get the tradition but if it was my choice this would be one of the tracks to be consigned to the history books.
 
I'm a big f1 fan but I dont like this race. Pretty boring most of the time but a full weekend of everyone saying how great it is.

Did anyone watch the Formula E at the weekend on the same circuit?

Yes - The track is suited to relatively low powered Formula E, and that was a good race.. The track is not suited to Formula 1 who outgrew this place at least 25 years ago.

All the F1 races this year have been very good, but I expect this one to be dull unless it rains. However, I though the same about Spain, and I was wrong.

The new McLaren paint job is brilliant.

I'm amazed formula e was allowed on a big boys track. It's sad watching them Potter around go kart tracks in parks somewhere.

Love the McLaren paint job too
 
Hate this race, modern F1 cars are far too big for that circuit. Probably wont see more than 5 on track overtakes in the entire race. Says it all that Riccardo was able to win with a huge engine problem a few years ago just because no one could find space to pass him

Based on sector 3 times in Spain, which is similar to this track, Red Bull could be a long way ahead this weekend. Should keep the championship interesting if they get a 1-2

Aw. That's a shame showing how ignorant you are again. First you STILL seem to think Russell won the Sakhir grand prix last year. And now you think Monaco is a track where speed and not handling is important.

I know you're just on a wind up but I have to ask you why? People care about this sport and have a nice chat about it.
When you just try to be a WUM all it serves is to make you look stupid. Especially as the two things you've tried to use as a wind up have been completely incorrect. I don't understand why you would post on a subject you're ignorant of and deliberately make yourself look like an idiot
