Mercedes wins Monaco Grand Prix.

I reckon that the fairest thing will be to allow all the teams that protested the chance to duplicate the 1000km tests that Mercedes did = current car+ team drivers +the same anonymous development tyres for next year. But as I said in my previous post I suspect that not the real motivation behind the protest.

It is interesting to note Stefano Domenicalli's views. I think he is leaning in the same direction as you.

Rock and a hard place really.

When most of the pit-to-car radio is telling the driver to slow down rather than speed up, something is fundamentally wrong with F1.

I rather like Stefano Domenicalli seems a pretty cool dude.

...and that is the rock and the hard place. The teams and drivers all want to go faster (Vettel made that point in the closing pas by going 2 secs a lap faster to make his point.

The tyres simply cannot sustain the speeds over any distance so you have to slow down or stop multiple times.

Tyre testing will help Pirelli bring better tyres to the teams. But now they are objecting to the testing (or the way it was done).

F1 - just like small village monopoly - always bickering over the rules at the Parish Council and whose nose is out of joint this week!! - all paid for by the well heeled sponsors who want a mind blowing week end in Monte Carlo - the rest is just a side show
