Formula 1 2025 - Monaco Grand Prix - or "Williams did nothing wrong"

The race itself was pretty much dull as ditch water, even if part of me felt sympathy for Leclerc's "why always me" radio message about the timing of the virtual safety car. Why does it always happen at the worst possible time for him?

But it's Monaco, so nothing other than redesigning the cars so that they are smaller is ever going to make it an interesting race.

And if they're going to add stupid rules, the teams, staffed as they are with over-grown hyper-intelligent schoolboys and girls, are going to bend and spindle those rules any way they can to get one over on the other teams and try to get points.

That's even more true of Williams who are one of the smaller teams (and why I have more sympathy for them than Mercedes or Racing Bulls).

Following an excellent performance in qualifying, they used a race strategy that guaranteed them points, in a sport where points = prize money.

Williams did nothing wrong!
