Faith in Monaco

To be honest 2014 season is dull. I know Hamilton and Mercedes fans will say it's exciting, superb, dramatic, but it's not. We can't blame Mercedes, rather we should blame other teams that aren't able to race them. Bahrain Grand Prix is the only bright point of the season tbh. We have one dominating team with one driver a step ahead of the other, much slower laptimes, F1 is unspectacular in one word. However that can be changed on the streets of Monte Carlo. And I really want Red Bull to beat the silver arrows and finally see a competitive race at the front!

I'll be happy with Lewis taking Pole and the win.

Perez and Sutil are going to have crappy cars for Monaco I think, so I don't think they'll entertain us during the race. I hate to say but Maldonado might be the only source of entertainment, he should have a top 10 car at least.

Last year was one of the worst races ever. Not much faith in it. But let's see.

Nothing will change in Monaco, maybe some front row guys will retire but thats it.

Im actually looking forward to on how Maldonado will do in this race, im curious.

Id be happy to see both Mercedes knocked out of the race with mechanical failures..
RB Vs Williams Vs Ferrari Vs Lotus...thats what i want to see.

To be honest, i prefer Mercedes winning again  rather see Red Bull back on top, i had enough of this crap for 4 years.

Massive pile-up please!

We haven't had a decent one for ages.

You do realise that Red Bull are a step ahead of that lot? Both Mercs out, both Red Bull cruise to finish. Although it may cure some of the angst here, it won't make the race any more interesting or exciting.

Macca usually has good Mech grip .. maybe JB can do something

JB.....Greep....How

The Merc domination is just as boring as the RBR domination, but at least we get to watch them fight it out once in awhile.  Rosberg & Ham battling it out in Q3 on their "home' turf should be fun to watch. I can't see any other team having the genuine pace to beat Merc for at least this half of the season though. 

I also suspect theirs going to be some dirty overtakes at the nouvelle chicane again.

Monaco was a better circuit before they opened up the track towards the end. They lessened the challenge and added no overtaking possibilities.

Anybody but an AMG Mercedes. This is like last year only with Silver and not Blue.

Yeha, JB will manage to finish on points once again.

On a serious note, i doubt mclaren will be able to do anything in monaco, in Canada is a different story.

I think there will be more crashes this year.

no doubt, the fact that the cars are harder to drive should make things interesting..... I hope

Only when Charlie is fishing, otherwise it would be a SC procession.

troll mode on

I just want to see the marshalls inside the tunnel with no headphones.

Meh, Hamilton pole to flag please 

Not again Merc win  please 

The twisty track should reduce some of Merc's advantage.  The bulls, Williams, FI and perhaps even Lotus could possibly challenge.

It'll be tense in case someone touches a barrier with these unruly cars, otherwise it's 10 minutes on Saturday and 1 second on Sunday.

The RBR looks good on the brakes, so it could be closer, at least.

I have no problems with a Merc winning. I just hope McLaren goes better...

I'll be happy with Lewis taking Pole and the win.

Sadly some people are like this ^^ and even their driver winning by 50 seconds would be utter excitement for them

as for Monaco, sadly I'm expecting another Merc demonstration 'cruise'.. 

I thought this was going to be about Faith Hill.

I don't see why it is "sad".  It is exciting to see man and machine meld to outperform the field so excellently (in this case two men and two machines).  The rest of the teams/drivers can add to that excitement by bringing a challenge to the frontrunners or among themselves behind the leader. 

If all else fails, we have the sight and sound (and if lucky, smell) of pure motoring brilliance to delight our senses. 

I love racing.

I'm hoping Bottas or Massa get to the front, loving the Williams comeback. Correct me if I'm wrong but if Massa won wouldn't he break Patrese's record for gaps between GP wins? If so, got to be a reason to root for him!

Not quite.... Riccardo waited 7 years.

Massa currently 6 years.

Looking forward to seeing how Pastor will total his car and what excuse he will come up with.

I think there are some churches in Monaco so it should be possible to find faith there.

Seriously... you are rolling your eyes because somebody professed a preference for a driver to take pole and victory... LOL to that. 90% of people on here have a preference, so roll your eyes back in the opposite direction before you fall of your woodworm ridden high horse.

Professed a preference for another dull, lights to flag victory, which said driver in question didn't prefer either a few races back.

Theres really not been much 'racing' recently tbh.  (no, I don't consider the last few laps of Spain 'racing' as Nico was never going to pass imo)

The Ferraris had a great race only last weekend 

...or, you could watch ALL the drivers in the race, and not just the one that is in the lead.

The lead battle isnt the only interesting battle in a motorrace.

You mean not much wheel to wheel.  I can feel you on that - it is exciting to watch.

However, there is plenty of racing. 

how many times will Massa bin it at T1 ... any bets???

mine is 2 ... 

It would be nice to see a challenge to the Merc's but ultimately I would like to see Lewis win the race. If he started from 5th or 6th place, that would be much more of an achievement than a pole and cruise victory IMO. It won't happen though and one of the Merc drivers will get pole I think. Monaco is one of my least favourite GP's of the year so it won't be one I make the effort to watch live anyway.
