Right now? No. I'm working.
In general? It's OK, for free. I need to mute Steve twat Jones but commentary remains high quality IMHO.

Steve Jones is probably the most annoying patronising 'false' presenter on TV just now. Otherwise the Ch4 presenting/commentary team is IMHO marginally better than the Sky.

Agree, however, Sky lead guy is a far worse cockend.
Prediction
Hamilton win
Mad Max
Kimi
Kvyat and Vettel to get out of their cars and have punch up on circuit.
Rosberg to have flaming somersault into harbour taking out 3 £100m yachts in the process.

I agree with the Rosberg part. I think the rest is a little far fetched though, don't you

What part of 'Kimi staying away from the vodka ice cream long enough to get a podium' is far fetched?

But surely he'd whip his "Wee Kimi" oot at some point, no?

Daniel Ricciardo was 'on it' during P2 yesterday - A second ahead of the Mercs at one point (and LH only managed to narrow that deficit to 0.6 by the end).
Of course, the Mercs were probably sand-bagging, and normality will likely resume as soon as they switch to their 'special qualifying map' setting.

His car was sticking like glue and really balanced and his speed into the swimming pool was scary. Would love to see him dicing with the Mercs from the start.
Ferrari seem to be going backwards.

Looks more like he's finished the hip flask and looking for somewhere to deposit the contents...

Almost prefect with that prediction...

There is talk of some redevelopment of the harbour area that will give the possibility of track changes. I wonder whether they will try to introduce some overtaking. Everyone loves Monaco, but as an actual race it is usually a procession interspersed with crashes which can make it dull (in the context of F1 races - I know lots of people think all F1 is dull).
Cheers,
Robin
