Yes Lewis Niki would have loved his performance!


Great result for Sainz and McLaren.

P6 baby... I'll take that!

5s pen for Max was too lenient IMO.

Same.
Plus I think that the move on Lewis at the end was nonsense. I thought that he finally changed this kind of driving...

Regarding the unsafe release of Max:

Article 28.13 c) and 38.3 d) state, that the penalty for an unsafe release is a 10 second stop and go penalty.

I have no idea why Max did not get it.

That's a typical Max move... he'll eventually be more smart about those moves, but he'll never change.

I think it was lenient due to the congested pitlane so its hard for the pit crew to see. I need to see it again though that said, I still he should've got ten seconds.

Surprised Bottas didn't get a penalty for slowing the pack up too.

Glad to see some breathing room for Lewis in the standings.

4 wins in 6 which makes this his best start ever to a season that I can think of.
It's his 77th win, on the 77th Monaco GP. 14 to go to match Schumacher
15 podiums to go Match Schumachers 155

Daniel had it worse last year, I think!

These are so cool.

Oh, so that's why they were at the Indy 500.
All makes sense now.

 

[Sinner]

Well done, Sebby. Hope this mixes things up.

Ferrari beastly on the straights.
Merc probably had to trim some down force.

Good to see some competition and will be interesting to see long run pace since Mercedes had the best on Friday but Ferrari made big changes overnight.

It was incredible to see the cars in person yesterday...can't wait to go to the race today. Been an amazing weekend already.

Once Vettel got on the straight it was over

 

[rolaholic]

Bottas taking the zamboni out for a spin

Today should be interesting after qualifying,hoping for some drama for a change

 

[Sinner]

Ferrari's S3 though...

 

[Sinner]

Damn, what a disappoint turn of events... from a racing perspective.

Vettel is pissed. He might get DQ'd at this rate if he doesn't go on the podium.

I don't agree with the penalty.
It did look like a squeeze against Lewis but Vettel's main concern would've been keeping the car under control so its hard to say.

 

[baik]

Damn. This dude Vettel went rogue lol

I need to see the replay again because it looks like Seb could've stayed off the racing line when rejoining.
Need to see Anthony Davies or Jolyon Palmers analysis on this.

What drama

27.3 Drivers must make every reasonable effort to use the track at all times and may not deliberately leave the track without a justifiable reason. Drivers will be judged to have left the track if no part of the car remains in contact with it and, for the avoidance of doubt, any white lines defining the track edges are considered to be part of the track but the kerbs are not. Should a car leave the track the driver may re‐join, however, this may only be done when it is safe to do so and without gaining any lasting advantage. At the absolute discretion of the race director a driver may be given the opportunity to give back the whole of any advantage he gained by leaving the track.

The regulations

WOOOOOOOOOOOOW

I don't blame Seb... and that's from a McLaren fan.
