Monaco GP - "well done"

Chips down

Highlights - we all like an exciting race. Hulkenberg contributed by losing his front wing in the first lap. Vettel nearly took Rosberg at the start.
Team radio - lots of it. Including "that's not very nice" from Raikkonen
Mystery - why did Mercedes give Hamilton's race away?
The decent team strategy - Kvyat was given back his race position after Ricciardo could not use his fresher tyres to overtake.
Apologising - the new whinging
Poor maths - Mercedes didn't calculate the gap correctly
Media training - continues to work for Hamilton

Scratch on the yacht

Sainz qualifying exclusion - he missed the weigh bridge. His ever-helpful team gave him the target: "go as quickly as possible and overtake as many cars as possible".
New sponsors - Pharelle William's clothing line sponsors Lotus???
Hulkenberg - punctured Massa
Errors made by 17 year olds - Verstappen is a very lucky boy, ending up with his feet so far in to the barrier and hopping out.
Debut of the virtual safety car - very, very briefly
Lapped cars unlapping themselves - no, no, no
Only knowing two phrases in Italian - Vettel, we suspect you
Sounding angry- the first time Toto has
