The race had its moments, but ultimately got boring. Nevertheless, it was great to see Ferrari back in form. I think they'll pose a very real threat to Brawn in the races to come. I loved when everyone, especially Massa, was really pushing. Massa and Raikonnen were gaining a lot of ground, and Barichello was starting to crack under the pressure.

Barichello says that his seatbelts had worked lose, which meant he was rattling around in the cockpit. If that is true, Monaco is perhaps the very worst place for it to happen, as you need incredible precision to keep the pace and stay off the walls. Hard enough when strapped firmly in. With lose belts it must be a nightmare. No wonder he was covered in sweat afterwards

Barichello always has excuses, not trophies.

With modern F1 cars, street courses don't offer enough passion opportunities, and make for boring races.

I know Monaco is more of a tradition than anything else, but I don't understand why Bernie is trying to introduce more and more of them. I have heard rumours that if F1 returns to NA, Bernie wants it to be on another street course.
