Dirty Side Digest #20

On the Dirty Side this week…

Ahhh, the jewel in the crown of F1.

Monaco.

Only this time they decided to change it and make the jewel sparkle more than ever.

The result?

Well, let’s just say that the jewel didn’t sparkle quite as well when it was covered by a large turd!

You have not been able to move on social media this week without bumping into the backlash over Monaco.

Even it’s biggest defenders struggled to come up with any positives about this race. Qualifying was at least still fantastic but the race was one that we wish we could unsee.

At least we get to quickly move on and look forward to Spain this weekend!

The one upside to the events in Monaco is that it gave us an opportunity to try a totally different Pitlane Paul format and we think our experiment was way better than Formula 1’s ;-)
