If people really didn't cope with Monaco at all well, don't watch the Canadian Grand Prix. Job done.

These days it would get the message across AND you could even watch it back on catch up TV/record it once you've made your point

Unless catch up/recorded viewings are somehow counted...
Not sure the canadian race is available in uk unless you pay a large sum to Sky

If Hamilton's dominant performances result in boring races, that's hardly his fault. Blame the other drivers and teams for not being quick enough.

We love to whinge don't we. I will agree the race was boring from what happened on track. Now this may be only because I', a Ricciardo fan. But I found it one of the most enthralling races we've had for ages.

Would Riccardo's car make it.
Would Vettel have a go at him somewhere
Would Vettel or Hamilton change to hypersofts and try to run everyone down
Would there be a Safety Car, Where Dan may have been a sitting duck on the restart.

All in all a very tense race, and enjoyable.

I think it’s a shame some lengths people will go to. Not the most exciting race. But how did Danny get to the end, that was one point of interest. I didn’t think the tyre strategies were worth it. Could have been better

Without wishing to detract from Danny Ric's performance, he was fortunate in as much as he had full power on corner exit, thus was able to get out of corners quickly, but was hampered in top speed terms, some 20 kph down on others. His swift corner exit and lack of passing places, limited DRS assistance to Vettel etc allowed him to not be passed. Had he been hampered on corner exit I feel a different outcome would have prevailed. The strengths and weaknesses of the Red Bull on the day were fortunately playing to Danny's advantage given the track layout.

I bet Ricciardo didn't find it boring. He would have been on the edge of his seat if he wasn't strapped into it.

I don't really get the complaint either. All sports have exciting events and boring events. One year Monaco will be thrilling, the next year it won't. So what? It's part of the ebb and flow of a championship season.

Ricciardo probably found it tense, it would have taken a lot of energy to hold on. I think there are some points to be made, but it was hard to make this exciting. Hopefully next year’s race will be more memorable

But motor racing is supposed be exciting, with cars racing each other and overtaking, what we got was a brilliant display of defensive driving from Daniel in a wounded red bull and very little else. Unlikely people want to see much more of that

Well motorsport has the ingredients to be exciting, any overtaking is welcome. Personally I am surprised Ricciardo didn’t slide back. But don’t judge what fans think on one race

There are thousands of examples in every type of series of races where passing is rare. I would say we got a proper "motor" race, in wondering if engines at the end of their life cycles would last, where the eventual winner was seeing his engine (or part of it) going away. It was a spectacle, and dramatic. For this venue, that is pretty good.

I tend to agree but what if we didn't have the knowledge that Riciardo's car was suffering? Would that lack of knowledge change your view?

boring is probably a strong word as there was some interesting stuff going on but i guess for me it really didnt come through so much over the broadcast.

we knew that DR's car was hurting but we never did get to see SV take advantage of it. nor did he seem to even try to take advantage of it.

kind of a side issue (and really a very minor complaint), but with Liberty's push to update the graphics i wonder if more could not have been done to highlight the problems DR was having and how he was dealing with it.

im thinking of the graphics we used to get of gear selections and braking/throttle usage plus side by side comparisons to how SV was handling those same sections/corners etc.

might have had me more engaged if they were sharing more data then just the just the radio comms.

I saw some of thise graphics, with both of their speeds showed at the same time. Trying to see both's top speeds at same spot was hard to do though. Seems like they showed a steering wheel graphic that showed the gear as well. The one graphic I dont like is the blue one overlayed on the halo on the onboard. The info is cool, but it looks video gamish.
