Formula 1 Discussion - And favourite driver?

They need to roll the dice with Piastri. He would blitz the outlap and leclerc would have no option but defend like hell at the end. Rather than just accepting 2nd.

Once Max gets Russell that opportunity will disappear.

And Leclerc broke his winless streak before Hamilton moved to Ferrari. Now just imagine if by some incredible luck Leclerc wins the title this year (how very unlikely it is). Hamilton would have to be number 2 then.

Good for Chuck. Hes so fucking fast and Monaco is a track that is decided on Saturday by who the fuck is fastest. Home track or not he deserved this one at least once in his career, cause he is the fastest over 1 lap and i say this as a max fan. Glad he was able to keep it out the wall and the rari strategists didn't cuck him.



For fucks sake that perez crash I mean I know there's a lot at play here and first lap carnage is to be expected. Not ignoring any ignorance or blind spot issues from other drivers it's just like even if anyone knew what the fuck was going on/where everyone was on track, at what point does rhe fia admit that even if these dudes could see each other they still wouldn't be able to go 2 wide practically anywhere with these current cars at least here at monaco. I'm not saying this was preventable but how much of the severity of this crash stems from how big these fucking cars are currently?

The size of the cars is fine.

The reason why this race sucked was because of the tires, the stupid battery, and dirty air. When there was a sufficient grip differential, passing was very possible: see Stroll passing several people after pitting for softs.

Blame Mercedes for lobbying to change the ground effect rules because their engineers messed up and their driver sucks, blame the eco nuts for forcing a hybrid system that forces drivers to slow down to recharge, and blame F1 for having such dumb tire specs that nearly every manufacturer backed out because they don’t want their road car customers thinking their tires fall apart.

"And now on Sky F1 rather than Indy 500 buildup we're going to have Ted reading out a bar's menu off their website".

Look the race ran long, I get it, but surly we can cut Ted short instead of missing anything.

Discounting Magnussen's gung ho tardery on the first lap, and Ocon's optimistic bunny hop off his team-mate's front right, that was a fairly standard Monaco GP. I did not appreciate the already turgid pace being further reined-in by the bean counters on the pit wall. Strip out the radios and have any flag warnings routed through an emergency comm by race control.

If anyone was going to fuck up starting on pole on one of the hardest circuits to overtake, it would have been Leclerc, so I'm glad that he managed to hold it together.

Someone, anyone, needed to take a risk. Norris had a couple of laps where he could have risked a pit to get ahead of Russell and chase down Sainz at the end. Piastri could have gone for a rather optimistic pit, get norris to let him past and see if he can bomb Sainz and then put Lecperc under pressure.

As it was the strategists for the top 4 decided to just bank what they had and not try anything special. So it was rather dull.

Though as we saw with Max vs Russell, they'd saved enough tyres trundling round 9 seconds off the pace that new tyres couldn't make the difference.

The red flag dictating everyone's strategy to "long ass one stop" fucked it up too.

They needed to do what Brudle suggested during the red flag and call it a fresh restart with one less lap then the change in tyres wouldn't have counted.

As I said during the race we either needed tyres that would never make it full distance so they'd be pushing to make the pit stop gap or they needed tyres that would easily make it so they'd be pushing hard and not worrying about tyres.

With no one willing to takr a risk and no one pushing to cause incidents it was always going to be a procession. This was the first ever monaco GP where the starting order for the top 10 was also the finishing order.
