Pumped for this one...

Yep. This and Indy on the same weekend is a good time.

Yep. This and Indy on the same weekend is a good time.

All three races are great. 7am-11pm all racing.

What's the top speed of F-1 cars? Are they faster than Indy cars?

Alonso's new helmet for Monaco. Not a fan of the puzzle theme but hey, it's not my helmet.

Here are some other driver helmets if you're interested.

Slower top speed wise, but a good bit faster around a road course due to sophisticated suspension and aerodynamics.

They could, if they had a higher gear and a low drag wing. But they are made to go 0-130-0 in less than 10 seconds.

Perez was outta control but there is virtually no place to pass. Kimi shut the door and paid the price.

I loved how they left Massa sitting on the tire barrier in a neck brace - it was like Ferrari told race control to leave him there for a few laps to shame him...

Monaco is a spectacle but it's basically very fast parade laps.

The chicane shots showed how dang fast the Safety Car was going and it looked like it was standing still compared to race speeds.

I'm so happy that button and perez are getting on like a tire fire.

Can anyone get along with Button?

Another tedious Monaco GP... Sweet mother of jesus was that boring.... At least my man Rosberg won - it's his year!

that's been one of the highlights for me so far. hopefully they'll end up either brawling in the pits NASCAR style or just wreck each other out every week.

That would be awesome.

I dunno. Him and Reuben's got on okay, same with him and taku. Seemed like once he came to Macca things changed.

Reubens can get along with anyone. Taku knew his place.

i don't remember hearing much of button being a problem before either, but could have easily missed something. it's almost like he doesn't know how to handle a team mate being more aggressive than him. i seemed to hear more of lewis complaining about jenson than the other way around. sergio just seems borderline grosjean-like reckless especially when he's near his team mate.

Yeah. Alonso and Hamilton was a good battle.
