+1. I cried "brake check!" When I saw it.

Yup. Could have been a bad result for that kid, glad he hopped out and walked away. His times were impressive all weekend.

I always get excited for the Monaco race, then when I watch it I'm reminded how much it sucks racing-wise. Last time I remember a good race there was when Schumi cheated, got a grid penalty and had to make his way through the pack. That was fun to watch.

Thank god Canada is next.

Sad to say but I completely agree. I would love to go once to see the spectacle but the on track action is limited. Thing is, when there is action its usually pretty damn dramatic.

Agree - I had the good fortune of stopping in Monaco while on our honeymoon, and walked part of the course, so the memory is personal....but yeah, the racing sucks.

I think the FIA should consider having them race go-karts at Monaco. Then we might have some real racing.

Verstappen is given a 5-spot penalty at Montreal. Not sure I agree with that. Still on the fence though, admittedly.
