The way Monaco was restarted in 2011 absolutely ruined the race for me, so I have to respectfully disagree. Alonso and Vettel were both on bad tyres when the red flag was brought out and Alonso was doing substantially better under those conditions. Once Red Bull changed tyres any competitiveness between Alonso and Vettel was eliminated. The results of the race did not change, but you knew what they were going to be as soon as tyres were changed and the cars were lined up in grid formation; there was no reason to watch the end of the race (which was only 6 laps and made the race run long).
