Xpensive started that on another thread and I thought it was rather catchy. Clearly not. I have, however answered plenty of questions and have NEVER called anyone a name.

What's funny and the same side as what?

I did not say the millionaires are hypocrites. Try reading what I wrote. It is the F1 powers that be that are hypocrites. Constantly banging on about improving safety, yet they hold a race at Monaco. Given the lack of over taking opportunities it is only to please a few Monaco residents which tend to be millionaires.
Hehe you got me wrong there, i was just being sarcastic but my point was, plenty of people enjoy the Monaco race, it's one of my top 5 of the year. But i see what you're saying, and i say we should be objective about monaco, ie i'd be interested in seeing an analysis of driver injuries suffered at various tracks since 1994, that would tell us whether there's a case in saying Monaco is significantly more dangerous than other tracks.

For a start I can’t watch the Indy 500 as it is not broadcast on free-to-view in the UK that I know off.

You seriously can’t compare Indianapolis and Monaco in terms of safety. One is a purpose built circuit! #-o
Again i was just being a smart@$$, but I was also hinting at the fact that this purpose built track is more dangerous than Monaco once you consider the package as a whole.

Now the media is talking about Hamilton being the DRS-saver for the Monaco Grand Prix.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

We had the f-duct at Monaco last year, nobody cried then. If DRS was invisible, nobody would care.

You are right and nobody controlled the f-duct use during the race..they were using it whenever they wanted!
