The Police were unbelievable too
I have a wide spectrum in music and there's nearly always music playing in my ride, rock, easy going and even the odd classic and jazz.
Dio for one..

Charlie will guide LEW to the #FerrariThings

Well..Hopefully MAX can make it happen , but think McLaren and Ferrari will be very fast (!)

Last year Sainz got bad luck with a Vegas pothole . Hope they fixed it now
If it's true about PIA being let off the leash then MAX has to be quickest to remain in front of the aussie.

Monaco has bought a new 7 year FIA race contract . Money talks (!)

7 more years to hang your wagon on. That's the Monaco GP..
Monaco is not a race . Monaco is a F1 car parade .

You are right, it's not a race, but I enjoy it.

Monaco is more of an exhibition of driver skill. Like AmuroRay mentioned, Lewis being SuperHuman, most of the drivers display amazing skill at Monaco. Plus, qualifying is fun.

Not sure about the 'street' classifications for some tracks, just because they're in a town. It's right for Monaco sure and others like Vegas maybe but some places like Baku where we get the highest top speeds on a straight that goes on for ever may be a traffic light too much and then Hungary is like a tight street circuit but it's in the middle of nowhere.

Constructors will be ferrari or mclaren, there is no red bull in the fight. They don't want it, they'd rather the wind tunnel time. Checo is going to pay for the lost revenue. I think Ferrari might step up and take it. Oscar hasn't really been putting it together lately.

Checo will be at RB next year, regardless of how many click-bait articles the media wants to create, or what has-been pundit wants to interject their opinion.

I'd rather them not. Ferrari takes 2 steps forward one step back. It's in their DNA. I'd prefer finishing 3rd and getting extra development time.
