Sorry, what? Are we in 2021? A race endlessly delayed by rain? Haas topping the Losers points, followed by Williams? Ricciardo disappointing? Red Bull the subject of petty protests? If Monaco does disappear, we'll perhaps remember it as a never-ending Groundhog Day loop of modern F1 tropes.
It was a rotten race for Haas. Both cars out of the race, and Schumacher's car snapping in half in another costly crash. The 30 Track Points earned in Monaco is the biggest score for any single race in 2022, assisted by a long pit stop for Schuey and an early bath for Mags.
A public apology. The F1 Losers Electrics And Loose Wires Department has been disbanded following the Monaco grand prix. We thought we could fix the start lights with gaffer tape and chewing gum. Apparently they should have employed a "proper" electrician with "qualifications" with hands that don't have "the shakes". We tried. At least we didn't delay things--- oh. Oh dear. Oops.
Read on for all the Track Points in Monaco.

WHAT'S NEXT?
The next races on the calendar are Azerbaijan on 12 June and Canada on 19 June. At last year's Azeri grand prix, a tyre disaster ruined Lance Stroll's race and sent him to the top of the driver points, while Mercedes claimed the most constructor points. Fancy a prediction for 2022? Place a Fast Forecast now.
Expect more automatic Boost Buttons for teams that have been lazy with their boosting. In the meantime, with almost a third of the season behind us, you might want to dump your pointless drivers with an Ejector Seat. The sooner you Eject, the more points you could earn. Yank that lever of loserdom now!
Finally, it's time for some bookmaker housekeeping. We're going to review the odds on our Pitlane Punts. Some odds and stakes may change, and one or two Punts may be withdrawn. Worth getting in a flutter before we broom out the cobwebs?
