Monaco 2012 Banter Thread

did you hear the team radio all the time?
Tires were a real factor this time again

Yes, I thoroughly watched every second of SkyF1's coverage the entire weekend (FP1, FP2, FP3, both F1 shows, etc.), woke up at 6:30am this morning to watch the pre-race, race, and post-race coverage, had F1's official live timing & scoring on, etc...
My point is that things just didn't fall into place to make this a much better race. The rain never came, the tire degradation at the end of the race never came, and Webber's choice of running at about 80% speed during the middle portion of the race & bottlenecking the field to help Vettel just dulled things to me. There have been some much more exciting races than this one at Monaco, and with the way the races have been going this season I guess I had too high of expectations for such a glamorous race as this one.
I know Canada will be much better, and this race will just be a distant memory soon.

ok,..points taken
really gotta agree on that!
Monaco is a very very great track and of course expectations are high..
but let alone be the action of F1 cars racing through the extremely narrow streets,taking the curbs hard,downshifts,upshifts,etc..makes for an rise of heartrate for me
