I love the pageantry of Monaco don't get me wrong, but the race is going to be awful with these cars. Qualifying will be far more interesting, then on Sunday you only need to watch the first lap - then turn it off. There's your race winner.

The nice thing about Monaco race day is that soon after the pretty parade is over, the real racing starts and there's plenty of passing the rest of the day.

Assuming Monaco stays on schedule but was moved to another weekend - which event would be ideal for the triple (Indy/Nascar/F1) Memorial weekend as replacement?

I think it has been mentioned here before, but Monaco should be some sort of spec race that doesn't count towards the standings, but has a financial incentive for teams/drivers to participate. Make it like an All-Star race.

It would be awesome if the schedule (time zones) would allow for one of the U.S. F1 GPs to be on this weekend...maybe the late night Saturday race in Vegas followed by Indy and NASCAR on Sunday.

It'll never happen though.

There have been several F1 seasons in my lifetime where Monaco was earlier in the month and there was just no F1 event that weekend.

Sucks, but probably unlikely now that we got 24 goddamned GPs these days.

F1 on Saturday night would be the only practical solution in this scenario.

@ESPN intends to keep @F1 commercial free if it renews rights, and the only ad option even being considered otherwise (if the new fee forced it) would be comparable to a split screen.

Full commercial breaks with no racing on-screen is not being considered, per
@BurkeMagnus

Here we go, the Monaco qualifying championships. The race is just a formality. No need to tune in tomorrow. Passing is strictly forbidden.

Odds on crashing out have to favor Sainz.

Leclerc odds on favorite to have reliability issues halfway through the race.
