I fancy watching some overtaking, so I will watch the world superbike championship now.

Rea made 9 places up on the first lap!

Its hyped up beyond what is really is. A place for plastic people with their plastic smiles and personalities. No overtaking at all on the race track. has anyone got the guts to just bin it?

No, because those plastic people have plastic credit cards.

It's also the place where deals are done.

And driving round and round with an occasional crash!

ahh sunglasses for Kimi...smart move

Not even you can honestly believe that

So Ferrari would deliberately make the slower driver win all season eh?

[Quickmoose]

I dunno whether it's sad or massively childish when you get the silver medal at one of the world's most prestigious events and you all you can do is mope.
I know Danny had it last year and both him and Kimi will feel their team let them down... but even so....

Nico was great doing the post race interview.

True, her eyes are saying 'help'
This whole podium is so cringe

Well before her wedding she did try to escape and they brought her back from the airport.

So I see, tried to escape 3 times apparently!

[HustleRussell]

Nico: Kimi, you lost it during the pit stops- what do you think of that?

Kimi: AHM.

Echo: ahm.

Echo: ahm.

[Adrian W]

At least Risberg had the bks to make it obvious what they were talking about

[ClockworkCupcake]

Well that was a damp squib of a podium interview.

[lee_fr200]

Tbh if Kimi had gone faster then vettel wouldn't be on the top step, it was said before the race the undercut wouldn't work and that it was better to stay out and Kimi opted to come in, he should have eeked it out abit until seb came in.

Was there an actual overtake on track? At least jb tried something vandoorne just drove into the wall!

I much prefer the cars from 2012 tbh much better racing imo

Yup. Apparently it's one massive gilded cage.
Grace Kelly wasn't allowed to act when she got married and was pretty much forbidden from leaving for years.
The current prince allegedly has quite a few illegitimate children kicking around already.

Anyway, back to Vettel apparently being gifted a win by being quicker than Kimi in a complete reversal of the year so far.

The other really big talking was the fact that even round a track like Monaco the dirty air had a major factor on how the cars handled, Kimi was really affected when he caught JB & that I think was a major factor in him losing the race.

She's an Olympic swimmer. Escape is just a wetsuit away! She's not even trying.

Bit pointless having a track it's pretty much impossible to pass on.

Monaco isn't a race - it's an event and an institution. It's part of F1's DNA.

At the Monaco GP the actual racing is just a sideshow

What's her name? Turned it off when Rosberg appeared.

[FourWheelDrift]

The Sunday Times had to pay big libel damages for suggesting she tried to escape.

Charlene.

Doesn't bode well for Hungary
