I still love watching the quali laps, I'll go back and watch Kimi's 2017 lap sometimes it's just so damn good. There are worse things then Monaco for F1 to do (USGP '06 anyone?), don't waste two hours watching it or whatever, you get 85% of the race from the 6 minute Youtube highlight anyway and it's still a feat to go run that track for 78 laps without fucking up, podium finishers deserve the credit as it's got to be one of the most mentally punishing <2 hour races.

As per 1982 ? Only 9 or was it 10 cars managed to finish that year... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982_Monaco_Grand_Prix Old school cars racing Monaco 82. All the while this was happening in 82, I was enjoying a trip with my Ant & uncle in a British rhd 68 VW camper somewhere in Italy getting our windows broken in Rome & My tent slashed for my camera bag while I slept & another broken window on the van in Florence… And had lost my Hero Gilles in May. What a year. Today MERC confirms that they have yet to remove The wheel on that ****** #77 car… |

If someone told me 6 months ago that in 2021 Vettel would finish ahead of Hamilton in a race solely on pure pace, I would have gladly bet any sum of money against them...

Big news since last race : Merc got the ****** wheel off.
Yuki did a good Austin Powers impression during first practice yesterday. Q gave a preview of what we may see tomorrow, a potential Demolition display. Go Charlie, keep it off the walls tomorrow, Go Gasly. |

Merc all 3 Practice. "We need to figure the car out, we are way off the pace." Q: "Got it." |

Kind of like a Monaco déja-vu except is was Car-Loss who cancelled any further bettering of positions. Merc were finally using a tow with less wing to get HAM in 2nd , And once again Bottas was the looser again and missed out in this plan due to the red flag. Those Alpha Taury’s both looking good for past 2 days. Too bad for Lando saw the clip of him guessing to go in or not, looked iffy to me… |

Qualy: Red flag saves the day for Hamilton yet again.... don't see how anyone can still deny the ridiculous luck/plot armor anymore
Anyway, really looking forward to this race. Ferrari almost certainly don't have the pace to stay in front, and safety cars likely to spice things up. Would love to see some good fortune for Bottas for once though. |

Mercedes: We have to measure the risks we are going to take
Hamilton: Bet. One Lap Race starts Hamilton: The risk that I took was calculated, but man am I bad at math. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
