^So a great race is one which absolutely every car crashes and there is no race because there are no cars racing? Strange logic...

Mattk, Ironically, wouldn't you agree that a more interesting race is created - (over a traditional) 'procession', to see the faster cars overtaking from the back of pack and working their way up?
Monaco is horrible circuit for that however, the overtaking spots are few and far between.. Instantly I think of Mark Webber in this regard. For the last few years in a row he's done a brilliant job overtaking on this track.

My logic was that all the cars pile up and those that can continue finish the race but non the less it would great to see them pile up

^You sound like my late grandmother. She liked watching motorsports because of the car crashes.

The 1996 monaco grand prix was wet and only about 8 cars finished the race and a very unlikely win from Olivier Panis in the Ligier which turned into Prost a year later.

^I think it was closer to four or five. I remember Michael Schumacher being the first to go after crashing into a wall.

Yes, in a way, and I love a good crash, but I generally watch races for the racing.
