Any F1 guys watch WEC? I used to love watching GT cars and LMP cars racing simultaneously on the track, but I was probably in high school the last time I watched it.

F1 races at 2 hours long are pushing it for me. I don't know about sitting through 6-24 hours of watching a race, but I like the classes of cars so much that it's pulling me back in.

I watched Daytona and Sebring this year. Sebring was do-able, but Daytona got to be a little bit of an endurance-WATCHING event. I stayed-up until 3:30 AM Sunday morning watching before I finally had to call it a night, and then resumed about 9AM and finished it.

I'm kinda getting used to endurance-watching races though... because I've watched the Tour de France coverage for the past several years. It's all I can do to catch up at the end of work days and keep my ever-full DVR cleaned-up enough to catch the next day's coverage. If I manage to get behind a day or two, I feel like I'M riding an endurance race in trying to catch up. I'm always WELL ready for the end when it comes.

I've watched both Silverstone and Spa this year. I love WEC. I've been to Le Mans the past 4 years and I have to say that it's something every race fan should experience. Unfortunately I'm not going this year but I am planning on going to at least 1 F1 race later on in the season to make up for it.

I love watching endurance races. I stayed up watching until 3:30am in the 40 degree rain.

I'll usually watch the entire 24H of Le Mans, but I also used to do the 24 hour races on GT5.

My only worry today is that verstappen might be 3rd on grid...

That retard might just crash into the Ferrari at the first corner tomorrow

True but I can still enjoy it.  

I hope Kimi can pull this out and Ferrari doesn't boink up the strategy.

Great day for McLaren qualifying 9th and 10th.  Too bad Button had to give his up for a power unit penalty.  Would love to see him score points but that looks tough now.

The rookies are really having a hard time this year, aren't they? VAN, OCO, STR all wrecking.

Damn.... Ferrari front row.  Figures... I went from Ducati to BMW Italians start winning again.  

Did anyone else catch the comment near the beginning on Q1 where they said that one of the race engineers said that if the rules allowed it they could finish the whole Monaco race on one set of Ultrasofts?

If Ferrari was running race trim during P2 when Vettel was massively outpacing everyone else, I believe that statement.

Fuck yeah Kimi, I'm hoping for a 1-2 tomorrow for Ferrari. Shitty luck for HAM but he screwed up several laps in Q2 before VAN crashed out so it's on him.

Good quals. Glad Kimi got his first pole in 9 years. Red front row is awesome.

And I love that Ham got screwed. He was gifted his win last year by some dumbass at RBR. So screw him. Pendullum swung the other way.

FWIW, Merc stated the best Hamilton could have done in quali would have been 7th.

He's way, way off this weekend.

Didn't know someone said that but I agree totally. What is the highest he can possible place tomorrow? IMO he would be luck to score points with it being Monaco. He could even be taken out in the first corner because of contact.

Ferrari need a 1-2 for their championship points.

It was easy to see that Hamilton was struggling this weekend, but damn. He was going have a hard time getting better than row 2 or 3 but 14th on the grid! He's never been the greatest about coming in and telling the team, do this to the car, but he can usually drive around the car not being optimal. It was pretty obvious he was going to end up mid pack at the start but, again, damn, 14th.

Good to see Kimi putting it all together. I hope wins. It's going to be an exciting race. The wife is saying there's going to be a big crash at the start and I think Mad Max is going to pull one of his gotta win the race in the first corner moves. We'll see.

I predicted Hamilton finishing 6th.  I know he won last year, but couldn't stop remembering his excuses in prior years when he wasn't leading the race.  Monaco does not seem to be his best course and even 6th would mean great progress for him tomorrow.  He needs it to rain but that is not in the forecast.

Just realized that Vandoorne has a three place penalty for "causing a collision at the previous round".  I don't remember the incident anymore but McLaren just can't catch a break.

Hey! He is already up to 13th and the race hasn't even started yet.

He is going to win . . . if Verstappen takes out at least 10 cars in the first turn
