Ok, I see your point! It is impressive to see people like him do that but after a couple laps that gets boring too! This is why I said the only reason they go there is to make Bernie rich! He doesn't care about tradition or anything like that, just how much money he can make! I know Monaco is the oldest race on the calendar but its not like it should be! They could go alot more places and have alot better race!

How can you say it is boring since you admit that it is "VERY impressive to see!". To me something that is impressive to watch is not boring! That's the point I try to make but again everyone is different.

I NEVER said anything about it NOT being the most difficult! I said that its a boring place to watch a race, from a spectators perspective, thats all! I have seen what it takes, I've been watching F1 for like 15-20 years now! You watch Hamilton dominate there this year and how he was bouncing off the walls! VERY impressive to see! I don't know what your point was or if you even had one but I never said it wasn't hard!

It is the most challenging (most difficult, demands the highest mental concentration) place to drive formula cars!Do a search for Senna, Trulli etc onboard shots qualifying at Monaco and see for your self what it takes. Anybody with some race experience should be able to appreciate what those guys do in the circuit.

It is a pretty boring place to watch a race! I would have to say it would be fun to drive on though, very technical track! The only reason Bernie has F1 going there is the same reason he has them going to all the tracks they goto! MONEY! He doesn't care about what the racing is like weather its good or bad! Just as long as he gets paid, and paid well!

Look F1 is not primarily about overtaking it's about ultimate lap time ultimate technology, ultimate performance over a single lap an a race distance. Too much overtaking would dumb F1 down we don't want another A1 GP/nascar/champcar style series.& you cant surely be telling me you would rather have the French Gp in dull old Mangy-cours than MonacoNone of today's circuits have the atmosphere of Monaco, this the drivers favourite track.The Belgium Gp is always better when it rains

Ask the drivers themselves which circuits they love to race on. Most of them love Spa-Francorchamps,Suzuka and Monza(for its great speed).Monaco 1997, Schumacher led from start to finish all the laps. 1998 Hakkinen led all laps,1999 Schumacher led all laps.2000 the first 11 were exactly the same for the first 36 laps(boring). 2002 Coulthard led all laps. 2005 Raikkonen led all laps. 2006 Alonso led all laps but 1(pitstop). 2007 Alonso led all laps but 5. 15 drivers held same place for 17laps

F**k that shit, I'm sorry guys but F**k it!! Monaco is the greatest circuit of all time,there was plenty of overtaking there this year thankyou very much cynics, there should be more street circuits, put that in ya pipe & smoke it. Mangy-cours France is the boring-as-dry paint track that needs to be removed & that as they say is an end of it.

I don't give a shit if McLaren have won there 15 times, Monaco isn't a great racetrack and produces boring races with zero overtaking.When they had the first race there in 1929 the drivers complained that it was too narrow and unsuitable to race on even THEN. There was a race in 1950,but not one in 51,52,53 and 54. Zandvoort,Suzuka,old Nurburgring,old Spa(lethal and fast) are real racetracks.Monaco is just glamour.
