Frances Fry (Assistant Writer) - "Monaco has been one of my favourite races on the F1 calendar for as long as I can remember. I've always been in love with the adrenaline that rests in the corners and the thrills stashed in the straights. Some people find themselves growing tired of the track but I can't pull myself away from Monaco. There's always something memorable from the race, something fresh.
Max Verstappen made quite an impact with a barrier after colliding with Romain Grosjean. The footage of the accident makes it appear to be Verstappen's fault but he was experiencing braking difficulties. Both drivers, as expected, blame the other. However, I believe the most talked about highlight of the race was the podium order. Hamilton was leading for a majority of the race but finished in third. This was due to a misjudgment in time within Mercedes.
It was lovely to see Nico Rosberg stand on the top of the podium at his home GP in Monte Carlo. A home win is something incredible to witness."
Amy Hawk (Lead Writer & Editor) - "As Monaco is my favorite race of the season, I've been looking forward to it since the start of the season. The build up to the race is great, there's plenty to see and plenty to talk about. The city is absolutely stunning and the circuit is no place for mistakes. It is a heart-pounding, hair raising street circuit with little room to overtake and a tricky layout if you're not careful.
First off - A congratulations to Rosberg, Vettel and Hamilton. There were parts of the race where I found myself nearly cringing at how close some drivers were getting when trying to pass each other. The accident with Max Verstappen and Romain Grosjean was so sudden and it's very relieving that neither of them were hurt.
It was an unfortunate end for Alonso and Maldonado with both having Mechanical issues and then Max's retirement from the crash. It's not the way you want to end the Monaco GP, but it happens and it's quite disappointing for them.
We're already looking forward to the Canadian GP and there will be plenty to talk about then. Cheers!"
