How can I not go with that and it'll add more speed and less haste to Max because of last years quali crash fiasco by Checo.

if max had stuck with his lap in Miami instead of pulling out he would start at the front row and wouldn't have had to sweat to win, but it was entertaining

sometimes perfect is the enemy of good

Progressive learning for the teams. Can't risk to stay inside the garage at the Monaco track during qualies in the closing stages, or the intended final stint may never materialize. Especially not if it would rain. It's the F1 track with the highest chance of yellow and red flags. So better stay out on track clocking fast laps and keep required pit visits to a minimum.

The Monaco GP : The latest weather forecast (translated to English)

We are currently in a Formula 1-free weekend due to the bizarre circumstances in Imola, but the weather forecast does not necessarily look rosy for the next race weekend in Monaco either.

Thursday 25/5 - Light rainfall
Friday 26/5 - Thunderstorms
Saturday 27/5 - Thunderstorms
Sunday 28/5 - Rain showers

Well no surprise with the weather across that geographical swathe, a better chance of trying out the new Pirelli rain tyres if the TIR lorries can get out of Imola.

Dominecali gives his reasons for piling on the pressure on drivers with more planned races and sprints, from what it once was and I've said it before he shouldn't pander too much to Liberty's whims. It's Liberty that approached F1 for money reasons and him now attacking drivers for being 'lazy' is quite frankly taking the peas.
I personally want him out and another CEO in place, there are enough F1 fans and money that's made without bringing in other 'odd balls' who know nothing and kick up storms about something they don't understand.

For Dominecali (and Liberty) it's easy talking. They don't have to drive the race.
Clearly it's all about money and not the sport. If Dominecali thinks that the fans don't get their money worth, then maybe make the tickets a bit cheaper? Maybe don't sell the TV contracts so high?
Formula 1 has never been this profitable, and it also provides about 90% of the money that goes to the FIA. All of the rest of motorsports combined only accounts for about 10% or so of the revenue. So there's that...

But maybe VER feels that this crowded program is taking too much toll. Maybe he wants to start a family at some point and feels that such a crowded calender is impossible to combine with a healty family life. Who knows what his reasons are, but I'm sure they're valid to him. He's one of the few who knows what it's like to grow up in a family of an F1 driver. I mean Rosberg (also the son of an F1 driver) quit right away after he became WDC.
He was 31 then. Maybe Max is aiming at the same age to quit.
Dominecali sees it as 'threats', but for a driver it's also about life choices. I don't read any comprehension of that mindset in his interview.

Most of the time they can't ever get the weather correct 24 hours ahead of time. I'll try to contain my excitement for rain on race day until next Sunday morning.

True, but then we wouldn't have seen the world class masterpiece of a drive on Sunday.

Actually it wouldn't matter , remember Suzuka and Spa last year .
That was unseen in the F1 history .

As I said , 3 years ago : "This is only the beginning"

And this is what Niki Lauda said ...

Agreed.

Can't even think of how many track days were completely unpredictable with weather a day in advance.
