FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX DE MONACO 2024
I am fairly sure this is the worst race I have ever seen. Might as well have called it 80 formation laps. Jesus.
I think I counted like 5 overtakes that did not involve a crashed car. Ridiculous really. Last week at least there was some hope that one could pull a move. No such hope here
5 is pretty high for Monaco. I’m sure there have been years with zero on track overtakes before.
Have they?? I can’t remember any year with 0. Till lap 50, I was thinking that we may have zero today.
It happened twice before I think
2021 apparently had zero on track overtakes
Oh yeah. I completely forgot about that. I guess that the strategic battle between overcutting and undercutting kept me engrossed enough. Also helped by the fact that verstappen was not driving nearly as slowly as people today.
There wasn’t a single one inside the points, though, so that definitely didn’t help
First race I’ve ever heard my mum call “boring”
