The incident happened last year stemmed from the big mistake Ferrari pit wall made.

And what happened year before that? 
If it happens once ok, but when it happens more time than it is not coincidence.

Leclerc had to withdraw from the race before the race started in the year before that. And Verstappen won the race who started it in first place. You can win against a car which withdraws from the race before it starts with even a bicycle.

I think Perez is rightly the favorite, however I still think Verstappen has the distance in his armory to pull it right from the start, I have a feeling even from pole Perez will have some incident with (Ferarri lol).

I think it can happen twice, if it happens three times you have to fire the idiots or the pit crew, most likely the managers though lol

I say twice because shit always happens same things twice before you make a resolve to stop things from happening

Can someone explain to me what makes this particular race "boring" compared to the other races?  

In my opinion, it's one of the better ones.
The race itself might be boring at first glance, but for me F1 is mostly boring when a team is dominating like Red Bull is currently and that is the case in formula quite often.

Tracks like these with not a lot of places for overtaking lead to more strategic races with room for potential surprises in the final standings.

I also like the feel of the race and it's one of the rare ones I tend not to miss.

The fact that not much happens if the race is linear,the drivers even with the best cars cannot pass a lot of positions,for example this race would be very beautiful if Verstappen to start 15th or 17th on the grid,in here the car cannot help much and as such all that remains to help is his talent,if he goes for example like Senna did in 1984 that got from a lot of behind positions in a full wet race to second and he was about to win the race when FIA directors decided to stop the race clearly favoring the first guy.

Now if this does not happen then it is going to be a boring race for sure.

It's Race Week meaning the Exclusive F1 Prediction Contest is LIVE @ Sportsbet.io 🏎️🏁 Monaco Grand Prix 🏁🏎️ Prediction Contest

Thank you for the next chance to win.

At this prediction pool, I've already made my predictions before practice, but I find it very difficult to judge Ferrari, I think they could be fast on one lap, but to win the race, I think Ferrari is too slow, even if you basically can't overtake in Monaco. But I think Alonso could definitely finish second. In today's practice, you can certainly already see a small tendency.

The Monaco GP track is a quite difficult one to drive on among the all races in the calendar. Even a simple mistake can cost you too much just as it happened to Albon in FP1. He lost control of his car at the end of the start straight and crashed into the wall which damaged his car quite badly. Therefore being wide awake is essential in Monaco GP. I even see this race as the most difficult one for the drivers in terms of that.

The boring part is that the drivers can't overtake each other that easy as there isn't a long straight in any part of the track. There are only 2 parts which might be a chance for that. One of them is the start straight and the other one is the short straight right after the exit of the tunnel. But still it is very difficult to attack in any of those parts too.

It's true, Monaco is pretty boring for the spectators, overtaking is almost impossible, most likely during a pit stop...

Pole position is very important in Monaco, it looks like Verstappen will dominate again, or can Ferrari still improve, Leclerc was not far behind Verstappen in practice.

I went with Leclerc today for the first time this season, pole and fastest. This is only because it seems this is where his old magic can still happen so hope I didn't lose from ignoring what has happened so far this season

But still I'm not confident he has what it takes to win or shall I say, no confidence in Ferrari at all.

Prediction picks went totally different so I should be right in one of them lol

I also have not made my predictions and yet I feel Verstappen should not be able to get the pole today.I have to check the weather and if there is any chance of raining it will be great for all of us as the qualifying can be won by any of the top drivers and if someone else other than Verstappen wins it the race should be beautiful,at least in theory.I say in theory because Verstappen may just choose to be happy with a podium place because he has the luxury of doing so and recover the lost points in the upcoming races.

I am still going with him though to win pole and the race if there is no chance of raining today during qualifying.

At Superbru, I had Perez on pole position, but I can forget about that now because of the crash. But it's still exciting, so it's more likely to be Verstappen or Leclerc. But we're moving on now, Hamilton is also out at the moment.

I was extremely impressed by Hamilton last lap.He was suffering during all Q1 to find the pace and I don't know where the heck he found all that great pace in the last lap to go from 19th to 7th place and made him out of Q1 luckily.What made a master lap is also Tsunoda who kept the pole for a couple of minutes and he ended the Q1 second and also Albon who ended third.Leclerc disappointing in this Q1 but he was impeded a bit by his team mate,while it was unintentional Leclerc complained about it.In prediction Superbru I stayed with Verstappen on pole but looks like it will not be a sure thing as he near hit the wall also.

[darxiaomi]

One really really good Qualy, sad to Alonso who had the pole in his hands, i dont erally know where, and when in that last sector Verstappen steal the pole from him.

Ferrari looks good at one lap, nothing new, Mercedes "new" car really good if we think about the whole change they make, Aston Martin its Alonso plus one guy who just was walking around the circuit, but the most impresive was Alpine with that porvisional pole of Ocon.

Really good result for him and Russell was not far behind, team Mercedes and Hamilton will have a big chance to take over second place from Aston Martin after this race.
Verstappen won pole position like most people expected but I was surprised with great result Fernando Alonso made in qualifications.
Sergio Perez crashing opened a lot of room for him and guys from other teams to win more points in Monaco, and Ferrari to take top positions this time.
I think this race is going to be much more interesting then some people predicted, it is far from boring.

Are you guys going to change race predictions in Superburu competition now after you saw results so far?

[Koal-84]

I was extremely impressed by Hamilton last lap.

Exactly Hamilton came into the final qualifying with a last fast lap, Perez now starts from the last position. Alpine surprised me a lot, unfortunately I can forget my tip with Perez on the podium, but that's how it often is. If Verstappen gets away well at the start, it will probably be difficult to beat him. But Alonso could definitely finish second.

I never do and I had Perez second which is extremely difficult for this to happen tomorrow unless some mess up happens in the race.I think that it is always better to start off with 2 EBP points or 3 when you get the pole position right like I assume many people have done during this race.Now it is all up to Verstappen to lose his race which I doubt he will lose it unless as I said some mess up happens that compromises his race.Overall the 2-3 points you get before starting the race most of the time are not worth losing to change predictions in the pool as when you change predictions and don't get them right you lost 2-3 valid and important points in the fight for the prize spots,that is why I think it is better to get in top 1-5 in every race and in the end this guarantees a prize spots but this can't be achieved if we change the predictions and lose our EBP points.

[tokeweed]

Dammit...  I forgot to change my grid line up.  :/  Oh well...

Anyway, I still have my fastest lap bet but to keep me entertained for the race.  For 1.90 if either RBR car gets the fastest lap, I win the bet.  Perez has the fastest lap so far.  He'll prolly keep pushing it and try to climb up somehow.  But I don't think he'll get a points finish.

Another thing that could keep everybody entertained is Formula Dank.

The memes there are hilarious!

What a f*cking boring race it was man!Even the rain could not change events and I think Alonso rushed to change tires to hard compounds while if he just waited one more lap he would have chosen the intermediate compound and he may as well have won this race as at Redbull they were very nervous with also Max keeping an eye on his team to help him.I think Aston Martin lost a golden chance to get a race win this year and I doubt they will have another chance to win any race as all other tracks are wide open and Aston Martin does not seem to have power to do so.

[ILuckyGuyI]

It was surprising to see Hamilton having the fastest lap at the end honestly. I was expecting Verstappen to hold this in hand after dominating the race that much. If it didn't rain then maybe Red Bull would have called him to pit to go for fastest lap. But under those conditions it was impossible for Verstappen to beat Hamilton's 1:15.650 lap. 

I agree that the most part of the race was boring as we didn't see so many overtakes as usual in Monaco GP. The part after the rain was still better in my opinion. Drivers had big struggles for some time even after changing their tyres. But I regret to say that we didn't see any competition for winning the race. Still I guess that Verstappen wasn't bored because he needed to be wide awake on a dangerous track like this one.

He was extremely wake if you ask me.He kept hitting the barriers and walls quite some times during the rainy part of the race and honestly he was over 20 seconds ahead Alonso so he didn't need to push that hard yet he kept pushing to the limit and this shows his winning spirit.He surely was awake,the worse driver of the race of today and there should also be a worse driver of the day vote instead of only driver of the day vote and if this was to be here,Perez deserve it fully having a Redbull and showing nothing while other drivers made some overtakes when they saw it fit while Perez just kept driving around for nothing.
