Also I thought the race was boring for the most part. With the exception of Alonso there was no passing on the track other than the start. Dont get me wrong it was a good race from a technical standpoint but rather boring if you are looking for action.

I thought there was plenty of action, but very little passing as you said.

Monaco is always a good race, the street courses are always the best.

Monaco is always a good race, the street courses are always the best.

While I do agree that Monaco is awesome, and always an exciting event, I have to say I love Spa and Suzuka more. Spa is the closest thing to the Nordschleife left on the calendar and Suzuka has just awesome flowing turns that make for great shots and good racing. Plus Brazil is awesome as everyone seems to race harder there since the championship usually comes down to that race.

So I would rank it 1)Spa 2)Suzuka 3)Monaco 4)Brazil 5)Silverstone/Australia/Montreal for my top 5 :P

Monaco and Australia are the only decent street events. I think Valencia is absolutely terrible and I dont think Rome will be much better when they add it. Spa rules followed by Brazil and I think Monza and Sazuka are high on the list. Worst in my mind is Bahrain what a shit hole track. Flat and boring.

Sadly it looks like bernie is fond of street circuts, I genarally dont like them at all as they do not showcase what these cars are capable of, neither does monaco with the exception of the change of direction in the quick esses comming out of the tunnel. Yeah the backdrop of the street circuts is cool for a camera shot but who really gives a shit about that, or night racing if its nothing more than a bunch of parade laps.... if I want street racing I would watch Indy car racing. Now if they were to race on the Isle of Man that might be different. If they come to America I really hope it does not go to NJ as there is speculation it might. There are far better tracks that would be great to see these cars on. Road America comes to mind.

I am looking forward to Fantasy F1 updating with my top of the league haul of 888 points for the round :D

Wish I hasn't swapped RedBull for Ferrari after first practice now, I'd have been leading!

Its updated already. I was checking it out right now. It's funny how I see Webber pop up on a lot of Fantasy teams now lol

He means the league points need to update still, though you can just look at everyone's points manually. Everybody is just copying me by picking Webber :P However, Alonso was the big mover and shaker this week though, wish I had had him instead of Hamilton, but I will give Hamilton another race before deciding what to do with him.

[Erick]

Oh right on. I might have to switch to Webber. Massa is making a comeback though, so I might hold on to him for another race.

[E30Kaiser]

I would keep him at least for the next race, I am thinking of switching to him just for Turkey as he is to Turkey what Kimi is/was to Spa.

I hope the Schumi position sticks, that was an epic end to a great race.

As for RBR, they should be running their version of the F-Duct for Turkey so expect even better performance out of them. I wonder if the new parts brought at Barcelona have changed the characteristics of the car in Webber's favor though, that or maybe Vettel is just having setup issues, or Webber is really just on his game(the most likely case).

I wonder if Vettel's bad luck has shaken his confidence.

[E30Kaiser]

I wonder if Vettel's bad luck has shaken his confidence.

I doubt it, he had a terrible start to every season he has ever had and he always has a great later season. It is a possibility that Webber's good luck on the other hand has, because it is one thing if you have bad luck, but it is another when you are doing shitty, and your teammate is winning races.

I think more probably though it is a setup issue, and the fact that he simply got out qualified, not much he can do starting 3rd at Monaco after the first lap, and we all know the problems he ran into at Spain. Turkey will hopefully be more his kinda of track and he will hopefully get back on the top step of the podium.
