Mercedes should just sack off Bottas for 2021 and give number 2 car to Russell - Bottas has been nothing more than a keep quiet seat warmer since he took the car after Rosberg left. If Lewis then does the perennial F1 thing of believing he is the one to resurrect Ferrari in 2022 - they all want to drive that car at some point in their career then they have Russell with a years front end experience.
Well the Monaco Grand Prix continues to be a bore fest, what's the point of having a race where overtaking is virtually imposible? Still the commentators try and make out what a great race it is.
The trouble is that modern F1 cars aren't designed for Monaco anymore. It was OK 60 years ago but now they're too fast and too wide, rendering overtaking impossible.But that's not the track's fault - two weeks ago Formula e raced around the Monaco GP circuit and it was fantastic - overtakes all over the place.The track works, and when it does work, it's immense. But it's just not right for F1 anymore.

But it's just not right for F1 anymore.The cars are too big full stop.I do find it quite amusing that Red Bull have whinged and complained about everything and anything to the FIA for 4 seasons, got them to change the rules so much its cost Merc nearly 2 seconds a lap and finally put them in front of Merc, then get defensive that teams are complaining about them. A more hypocritical man in sport than Horner you will not find.Lando Norris though, that kid is going a long way.
Brilliant first half a lap, but it’s probably ruined the rest of the race, it’ll be a procession now.Glad verstappen is ok though.
