Lots of pictures in the comments. Looks crazy -- Cody, you may have gotten your wish!
I hate modern McLaren as we've discussed, but yeah, that's EXACTLY the stuff I love.

One of those front wings probably costs more than my house. But yeah, super cool. Modern art for sure!

If one of those wings didn't cost more than my house, I'd be sorely disappointed.

Apparently Ricciardo spun after the VSC & they didn't show it once?

Weird

haha yeah -- he pulled a Grosjean. Good thing there wasn't a wall there, Danny! lol

Speaking of Grosjean, what an idiot. Stand on the gas when you're pointing the wrong way with half the field behind you and see what happens. He got a 3 place grid penalty for Monaco; probably should have been more. I think we'll see Charles LeClerc in that seat next year at the latest -- if RoGro keeps up like this they may ditch him sooner. Arguably the fourth fastest car on the grid and he's one of two who haven't scored a single point... yikes.

Aside from that, pretty boring race in my opinion.

They did show Crashtappen hit the back of Stroll's car though.

Race was fairly boring though.

Race was super boring IMO, but...Barcelona always is.

I think the reason for Grosjean's spin is a result of KMag taking all the air off of Grosjean's wings with his bobble, then it seems he floored it to get off the racing line. Had he just clamped on the brakes I think Alonso hits him square on the side.

Yep, the bobble in front of him caused him to lose it, but the issue is him then putting the car back into the traffic. He could've stayed left and only possibly taken himself out, or just gone into the runoff area.
