[An update at 3 minutes in and on the first lap: Red flag wreck and cars have returned to the pits. At least 3 cars are out of the race while a small army of orange clad minions man the brooms to sweep the crash area.]
The Monaco Grand Prix is probably the greatest event in motorsports. ABC is streaming the pre-race hoopla that includes million dollar yachts backed into viewing position , stars of screen and stage looking for a mic, pro athletes with their trim blond and bosomed wives, and thousands of ladies in their summer finery. It’s a spectacular demonstration of wealth and privilege. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for wealth/privilege and hope both will visit me some day.
It’s a great course with spectacular views and challenging turns.

If the past provides any hint at what the future brings, there will be some broken hearts and destroyed machinery at the end of the day.
