Pirelli getting a lot of flak for the choice of tyres chosen for this race.

They should be given a commendation, the way the tyres went off added some excitement towards the end.

More from F1 fans. The 1 stop factor was boring. Neither could the tyres be pushed to the maximum for long periods of time and neither did it fall off enough for a 2nd stop.

Well we all expected a safety car. First time in a decade that it's been absent. Besides, we saw many on fresh tyres that couldn't make the most of it despite being 2 seconds a lap quicker (max).

Durable tyres or multiple stops, can't have both...

Problem at Monaco is that you just can't overtake so no matter how big the tyre delta was they just couldn't get past, stopped the possibility of a 2 stop completely.
