   I wonder how long it is until Grosjean gets kicked out of Lotus: he’s either slow but safe or fast but constantly crashing. He’s costing Lotus so many constructor’s points and damaging others races.

         Sorry @celeste I don’t have one – I am completely and utterly ruthless when it comes to things such as this! I couldn’t care less for his personal situation: if there’s a better driver available he/she should get the seat.

         For me he was already on his last opportunity at the start of this season and it’s time for him to go – he’s a liability currently.

               @hellotraverse @celeste You could have add one as you should be an explorer to take the hairpin pic : © Colombo
               Actually, I also think you will only have reply if someone doesn’t understand it (or if someone understands and loves it but I guess it’s rarer)

   Every year I watch the Monaco Grand Prix and I envy with open lust the spectators on their balconies overlooking the track. And every year I look at the block of flats at the super-tight hairpin (between Mirabeau and Le Portier where Sutil mugged Alonso) and I see that the ground and third floor always have their shutters down ignoring the race, and I think “What a waste!”
   What are these people doing? Where have they gone, and why haven’t they given me their keys? I’ll feed the cat/goldfish/budgie, I’ll even clean the bathroom (within reason). Just let me use your balcony . . .

      Agreed – I will even go to the lengths of cleaning the car with my tongue if that’s what is required…

         @vettel1 I’ll write them a letter. A clean bathroom and a clean car – they can’t resist that.

            @timothykatz precisely: all we ask for in return is to be able to put a deck chair in view of the track!

               But seriously Max (@vettel1), it is fundamentally weird that these two apartments are always closed up on the race weekend – they have certainly been so for the past five years. And I wonder if there is another reason. Are they rented by visiting teams/drivers/journalists?

               It does seem rather strange to me that’d be the case as usually hotel prices more than double for the demand – why wouldn’t you rent them out as a landowner if you weren’t interested in watching the race yourself? Seems like wasted revenue to me unless there’s some other reason like you’ve proposed @timothykatz…

      I know the exact apartments you mean and i was thinking the same thing. I guess if you have the money to own or even lease one of those places then you probably don’t care for the money you could be making by renting out the place for the weekend — because it’s obvious they’re not fans, and probably just split for Italy for a few days.

   Nice one of Massa, quite unusual angle, and unusual to see his car in one piece around Monaco :-)

   Nice pics, but where’s the one with Rosberg and the pigeon during the safety car period? :)

   The Toro Rosso on the third photo is Ricciardo’s, not Vergne’s.

   Grosjean gives the thumbs up “Crash in the first corner? Sure, I can do that!”
