F1 2024 - 24 Rounds of Street Circuit Thrillers

[Waffdon]

Norris 0.2 and Piastri 0.1 quicker than Verstappen respectively in Q1.

It’s coming home

[Gray Fox]

Have they said why Piastri only got half the upgrade?

[Adramelch]

McLaren's championship to lose really.

[Gray Fox]

Waffs going to have no boxers left at this rate.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

If he can do this in the actual quali and race...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mercs :lol:

[Waffdon]

Shit, it’s sprint quali again.

I’m no longer excited.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh no :(

[niko_cee]

Stand down.

[Waffdon]

wtf was that :D

If they’re that good on mediums, that bodes well for the race at least. Got to presume Norris made a mistake somewhere in sector 2 as he lost 0.7 seconds there and purple sector the 3rd

[Waffdon]

Unless I’m being a tit, but I’m fairly sure Norris went quicker on mediums in Q2 than what Verstappen set pole with

[niko_cee]

Yep, 1:27.597.

[Gray Fox]

Seems the softs either overheated, or they went way too cautious to prevent that happening and they were too cold.

[niko_cee]

Got to get them into the right window. That's what people pay to see.

I enjoyed the long piece article bout Sid Watkins on the beeb the other day, but fucking hell, modern motorsport is so far removed from what it was in the now distant past and not all of it is better.

I've been watching 2005 (the year of no tyre changes) and while management has always been a thing the extent to which they're able to drive the cars to their limit is so much more apparent.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's been spiritually dead since whatever point it was when everyone decided it had to be relevant to the modern motor industry, rather than consisting of a load of rich wingnuts hiring extraordinarily clever people to build them little metal boxes on wheels to fly around fields in.

Clockwork whirry engines in a massive battleship must go, big roaring engines in a flimsy coffin must return. If you don't want danger, play chess, or golf.

Without checking anything I know by this alone that McLaren didn't win.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I didn't even turn it on.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lando :(

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking Stroll, the absolute cunt.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hamilton also a prick.

[Adramelch]

Not quite sure that's Stroll's fault to be honest.

[Waffdon]

Amazing.

Thankfully it doesn’t look too horrendous in terms of getting car ready for quali

[Waffdon]

Hamilton getting the Ferrari gig is a joke. Terrorist

[Gray Fox]

A mistake either side of Alonso there. Not a lot he could do.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Not quite sure that's Stroll's fault to be honest.

On second viewing it's a double Stroll/Hamilton whammy.

Both twats.

Alonso couldn't do a thing.

[Waffdon]

No penalty is crazy

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lando being investigated.

Absolute joke.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Liking the Hamilton/KMag fighting.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

KMag is a Lando fan :cool:

[Gray Fox]

This is my problem with the current penalty system with Magnussen. He's already fucked up and actively ruining a race out of spite now.

[Adramelch]

Big drive from Ricciardo that one. Might singlehandedly guarantee he keeps his position for the rest of the year.

[Gray Fox]

Hamilton eventually gets the penalty he should probably have got at the start.

Great from Danny Ric. He just needs to do that a bit more often.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Please let Max's clutch be absolutely fucked.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Big drive from Ricciardo that one. Might singlehandedly guarantee he keeps his position for the rest of the year.

And now he's guaranteed his position he can revert back to shit.

[Waffdon]

Wonder if McLaren will use mediums in Q3. I presume not as they’ll need them for the race but he just looks so much better on them

[Adramelch]

The discussion was that the soft is very sensitive to temperatures and the out-lap is very important in that respect. Given that his third sector was good in sprint qualifying, you'd assume he fucked it up before his lap even begun.

[Gray Fox]

Interesting. Magnussen admitted he was deliberately a twat in order to help the team in post-Sprint interviews. The stewards have called him in under the sporting regulations and he could well be punished.

[Gray Fox]

Wonder if McLaren will use mediums in Q3. I presume not as they’ll need them for the race but he just looks so much better on them

They've gone early. Here we go.

[Adramelch]

Such a weird Q3 that one.

[Waffdon]

I’m never going to see Norris win. Let’s hope there is some race pace but another podium awaits. Yay

[Gray Fox]

What was that track temperature? Near 50c? Those tyres just melting with everyone pushing it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They just handed that to Max.

[Waffdon]

I didn’t think last year could get any worse but Verstappen is now winning every single quali lol

[Disco]

If you penalise Magnussen for being a dickhead the guy will never race again.

[Shindig]

I was surprised how spicy that got. He had a mission in mind. Also, for all Hamilton did in that T1 incident, Alonso and Stroll were already tangling when he got there. :D

[Gray Fox]

Why can't they just sing the fucking freedom anthem properly and get it over with.

[Ben]

No wonder the rest of the world hates them.

Even the hard tyre is overheating if they push it so my hopes are low for this one.

[Gray Fox]

I suspect someone(hello Lance) will bin it having cooked their tyres sticking close to the car in front. Not good racing to be had.

[Disco]

I still haven't watched China so tonight's viewing is Silverstone 2005.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTxk_GANsEk&list=WL&index=13

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

If Checo would have taken out Max there he should have been put up for a knighthood.

[niko_cee]

Perez smashing in to Verstappen there would have been amazing.

[Adramelch]

That was Stroll-esque by Perez.

[Waffdon]

That replay really shows it. Nearly took Verstappen, Sainz and then Norris out when coming back on track

[Adramelch]

Yeah, the rules probably don't cover it, but it was definitely penalty-worthy.

[Pepe]

I like the blue wheel covers.

[Pepe]

Give him a stop and go. :drool:

[Waffdon]

How have they not safety car’d that? It’s literally on the racing line :D

[Waffdon]

Could do with a Haas taking a car out here and getting a proper safety car

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Safety car to slap a new bollard in?

[Waffdon]

McLaren have a chance here

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm starting to get some hope...

[Pepe]

Could do with a Haas taking a car out here and getting a proper safety car

:harold:

[Waffdon]

Norris bottle job incoming

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Norris to lap everyone :drool:

[Gray Fox]

I guess Magnussen just got to Miami and chose violence.

[Waffdon]

If Norris didn’t use mediums in Q3 he could have went in the pits and put mediums back on

[Waffdon]

Norris is definitely locking up and going into a wall whenever Verstappen gets close. I’ve seen this story

[Ben]

Apologies for the horniness, but Leclerc's partner oh my word.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Apologies for the horniness, but Leclerc's partner oh my word.

Yeah she's stunning.

[Gray Fox]

I always poke at him being a fake Frenchie, but for having her on his arm I take it all back. Fair play lad.

[Waffdon]

Could do with Leclerc annoying Verstappen for a few laps

[Ben]

Like parking in his rear diffuser preferably.

[Pepe]

Sainz lol.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I can taste the tears.

[Adramelch]

Sainz been taking private lessons from Leclerc it sounds like.

[niko_cee]

Sainz's moaning is hilarious.

[Pepe]

I know F1 follows different rules than everyone else, but I think KMag did nothing wrong.

[Ben]

Verstappen is 2/1 to win in-play. Can't be missing that opportunity, soz Waff.

[Waffdon]

Leclerc falling away already. Verstappen is going to fuck us

[Gray Fox]

There's still time for Lance to put it in a wall and ruin this.

[Adramelch]

Leclerc falling away already. Verstappen is going to fuck us

The only saving grace might be that he hasn't been that fast today. Normally Verstappen would have built at least a 10-second lead over second before the pit-stop, but now he was like 2.5-3 seconds ahead of Piastri at that point?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sainz is so pissed off :D

[Waffdon]

The only saving grace might be that he hasn't been that fast today. Normally Verstappen would have built at least a 10-second lead over second before the pit-stop, but now he was like 2.5-3 seconds ahead of Piastri at that point?

Still worried Norris is doing too much too soon and the tyres will go off at some point.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Piastri has been fucked here.

[Waffdon]

1/5 in play. Pinch me.

No safety car. Please.

[Ben]

Magnussen. :D

[Pepe]

Nice overtake Sainz. :face:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sainz KMagged it.

Got annoyed the stewards didn't side with him and so he chose violence.

[Waffdon]

If this little shit Stroll causes a safety car here I might cry

[Ben]

Waff must be in bits now.

[Ben]

Shove your car up your arse Newey. Zak Brown is the new king.

[Waffdon]

These little shits racing over zero points need to get a grip. Ocon v Alonso ffs

[Gray Fox]

Potential for a very wholesome cooldown room. Norris winning with his best mate up there with him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm so nervous.

Please no shenanigans.

[Waffdon]

This isn’t even a track that would notoriously suit a McLaren. Their car might be legit now

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking hell Piastri, CAREFUL.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Good of McLaren to tell him off instantly.

[Waffdon]

Piastri is giving me a heart attack

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Absolutely bricking it right now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Albon don't you fucking dare.

[Waffdon]

Right, can cause a safety car now. Should be fine

[Adramelch]

Bottas 12% vote for driver of the day? What? :D

[Gray Fox]

Will he cry? I think he'll cry.

[Ben]

:cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Landoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :cool:

It's finally fucking happened.

Let's fucking go boys.

[Waffdon]

That’s the best high since I quit drugs. Oh my god let’s go

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Waff, our boy has done it \0/.

[Ben]

Finally nice to hear an emotional radio message at the end rather than the usual "well done guys, car handled really nicely all weekend"

[Gray Fox]

Everyone liked that.

[Ben]

Ahhh this is brilliant stuff.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sniping my bollocks, none of you like to hear it, even the steolivich stuff seems to be needless wankery. He's pulled out some decent stuff this year alone, there's definitely far worse drivers on the grid. At least a par with than Norris, sorry 'Lando', who's done fuck all and is basically a huge pile of piss and wind.

Get fucked lad.

[Gray Fox]

I'm sure he'll be crying into his Service stop chicken fillet roll tonight.

[Giggles]

Get fucked lad.

First thought :drool:

The biggest suprise is you actually taking enjoyment from something.

[7om]

I was genuinely surprised to see Norris so easily pull away after the safety car. Verstappen had no answer for his pace.

Let’s enjoy this before Max wins by half a minute in Imola.

[Waffdon]

Imola layout should suit McLaren down to the ground (before the upgrades) so god knows how good they could be there. Only one DRS zone is a bonus as well

[Adramelch]

I mean, I'm all for some competition, but let's not get carried away. Verstappen was clearly slower than usual in Miami and it took a VSC and a Safety Car for him to not win.

[SincereTheRebel]

Sainz to outscore Leclerc
Hamilton to win a race
Lando fails to win a race
Verstappen to win it all

I was wrong.

[Shindig]

Am I hearing things correctly in that the safety car picked up Verstappen thinking he was the leader? I think Lando owes him. :D

[SincereTheRebel]

Looks like you are right. I dont think it would have made much difference. Lando had a 5+ second lead before the safety card and his pace indicates, he was quicker after. Passing Max on track would have been interesting though.

[Waffdon]

Lando was 30 seconds clear of everyone. Was it not just a case of him being on his own and then pitting whilst the safety car caught the main pack?

[Gray Fox]

Because the SC caught Max, Lando could have pitted as he did for the hards, run it back around to the pitlane, pitted again and put a new set of mediums back on and possibly still come back out in first(it would have been very close). Problem is he used that set in Q3.

There just seemed to be no overtaking in the front cars no matter which way around they all were. The exception being when Sainz decided fuck Piastri. You had several occasions were it seemed Leclerc was faster than Piastri, Sainz faster than both, Hamilton faster than Perez, but none of them could make a move.

[Adramelch]

Lando was 30 seconds clear of everyone. Was it not just a case of him being on his own and then pitting whilst the safety car caught the main pack?

Lando was 10-11ish seconds ahead of Verstappen when the safety car came out. The rest slowed down but he didn't (because he didn't have to). He definitely benefitted from this whole thing (without doing anything against the rules).

Piastri waltzed past Leclerc fairly easily enough but outside of that yeah, fuck all other then Haas shenanigans

[thommo]

Lando was 10-11ish seconds ahead of Verstappen when the safety car came out. The rest slowed down but he didn't (because he didn't have to). He definitely benefitted from this whole thing (without doing anything against the rules).

He still would have come out in front of Max I believe - the time lost when pitting under SC was only 9 seconds. Timing of the SC being called meant Lando couldn't immediately pit but he was past the SC Line 1 before the SC had left the pits - all worked out correctly in the end.

[Adramelch]

Yeah I think he still comes ahead, it just gave him (and the mechanics) a big leeway for that pit stop.

[Ben]

Also Verstappen violated the safety car restart rule (that was put in place because of him). I think he only got let off with that because Norris gapped him quickly.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nah, he got away with it because his name is Max Verstappen.

[Adramelch]

I was surprised that it wasn't even noted. I guess if they had noted it, they would have to punish him so maybe that's why.

All in all, it's somewhat poetic that his fuck-up that broke the bollard and triggered the VSC also indirectly led to the Safety Car that cost him the race.

[Ben]

Imola will be massive for the season. It's a strong track for McLaren anyway and this will really show if their upgrade is legit. Ferrari also due a big upgrade which they're unusually bullish about.

No way was Red Bull's lack of pace down to Max driving over a bollard. He was already 0.3s per lap slower than Norris in the previous handful of laps before he took it out, which was exactly the same gap Norris was pulling on him after the safety car.

[thommo]

Also Verstappen violated the safety car restart rule (that was put in place because of him). I think he only got let off with that because Norris gapped him quickly.

I think it wasn't even noted because Lando didn't go from that moment. He waited a little longer to put the foot down and by that point, Max was back behind.

Max is pretty ridiculous from SC restarts - whenever he's leading, it seems like he's a second up the road by the time they cross the start/finish line.

[SincereTheRebel]

Imola is one of my favoruite tracks. Fantastic circuit.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGeIRbM0mec

[Clunge]

Red Bull said the bollard damaged his floor – as if :D.

[Adramelch]

I could see the bollard possibly causing some damage since it was stuck there for some time, but it definitely wasn't why he was slow. Any other race and he would have built a 10-second gap within like 15 laps.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He was slow (for his standards) all weekend really.

In both qualis he was basically handed pole, especially the sprint one.

He was complaining a lot more as well about the car than he usually does.

[SincereTheRebel]

Hopefully, the grid becomes more competative now. We have never seen a one driver dominance like Max ever before.

[Shindig]

It's Monaco Historique time!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AAGiSzl98o

Adrian Newey's out there at the minute driving a Ferrari.

[Pepe]

Moto GP was good today.

[Pepe]

First time watching Formula E. That is some Mario Kart level shit.

[Ben]

Moto GP was good today.

That top 3 are on another level.

[SincereTheRebel]

Is Max Biaggi still about?

[Ben]

He has some kind of role with Aprilia, but seems to just saunter around the paddock looking cool.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cd181jy0nm5o

Here. We. Go.

Ferrari's updates looking promising in FP1 but more importantly:

1791410524619485466

[Jimmy Floyd]

I noticed in France the other week every good-looking young man had a moustache like it was 1940 or something, maybe it's a sign that war is coming.

[Waffdon]

Ferrari's updates looking promising in FP1 but more importantly:

1791410524619485466

Leclerc is always good value to win FP1

[Waffdon]

Don’t want to get excited but I must have watched Verstappen drive off the track about 3 or 4 times today.

McLaren looking GOOD. Norris would have had the fastest lap but pitted instead. No idea why they always do it with him. Long runs look good too. Should be a belter

[Waffdon]

Max drifting to 8/13 to win the race and 6/5 to win quali if anyone doesn’t believe the hype. He’s not been at them odds in a long time

[Ben]

FP1 Leclerc
FP2 Leclerc
FP3 Leclerc
Quali Leclerc
Race Verstappen

[Gray Fox]

This is the way.

[Giggles]

You are such a shambles waff.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Alonso really not liking the track today.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hulk :cool:

Shame it's only Q1.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Checo :harold:

Absolute wank driver.

[Waffdon]

Proper quali. Max is a joke.

Should be a class race tomorrow. Think Piastri is going to get a penalty

[niko_cee]

Hopefully McLaren can at least get a bit fruity on strategy if they can't ambush Verstappen into turn 1[2?] in the race

[Waffdon]

Their long stints looked very good in practice and we all know they’re better on mediums anyway. It’s on.

[SincereTheRebel]

Max has been doing stints in iracing 24 hours event. F1 is is hobby ffs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

1792175837221122170

Security really didn't like that guy :lol:

[SincereTheRebel]

You need a reporter pass to be on the grid.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Such a shame that Albon's tyre didn't come off and take out Max.

[Waffdon]

I can’t believe I doubted the red bull and Verstappen machine :D

[Waffdon]

McLaren’s looking slow now. Leclerc is going to get into DRS zone soon and Sainz keeping Piastri away fairly easily

[Jimmy Floyd]

This commentator is good. I could get used to him.

[Waffdon]

Boxing Norris to go in behind Perez. How fucking dumb.

[SincereTheRebel]

Punishing Albon directly with a 10 second penalty for his team not able to attach wheels correctly sounds silly. Take a constructors point away or something...

[Waffdon]

These Hards are basically the Mediums from last race so these tyres should suit McLaren.

Agree with Albon too. Not his fault. Should be a fine

[Jimmy Floyd]

Boxing Norris to go in behind Perez. How fucking dumb.

Worth the risk to get undercut on the snoozing pasta boys.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Of course Albon should be punished, he's driving the entry.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nice to see we're back to boring races again.

[SincereTheRebel]

Of course Albon should be punished, he's driving the entry.

What does that mean? Is this an attempt at comedy i dont understand.

[Adramelch]

Obviously he's driving a slower car and he's not quite at Latifi levels, but it's a travesty that Sargeant still has a driving seat. He's miles off the pace.

[SincereTheRebel]

This shit drivers last less than two seasons. He should be gone.

[Gray Fox]

This has been very dull.

[Jimmy Floyd]

What does that mean? Is this an attempt at comedy i dont understand.

No, it means the car is entered in the race, he's driving it and the team botched it, it's all part of the same thing, you can't only punish drivers for things that are 100% their fault. He also shouldn't have driven it away without the tyre on properly.

[Jimmy Floyd]

This has been very dull.

Putting these steamships around a magnificent venue and thus reducing it to needing a 0.5s gap out of Rivazza to pass anyone, truly a travesty.

That said, it's not been the same circuit since, let's say, they modified the first sector.

[Waffdon]

Verstappen going off the track and getting a 5 second penalty would be lovely

[Waffdon]

What is happening

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just keep pushing Lando boy.

[Shindig]

He'll push too hard and boil his Pirellis before he can catch him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Max is starting to SEETHE.

[Adramelch]

Don't think there's enough time, but nice to see something for a change.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lando is great on the radio.

What a babe.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Think his tyres have gone now sadly.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

If there was another 2 laps we could have had a fight.

[Jimmy Floyd]

He made two big errors in Villeneuve in the last 5 laps which cost him a DRS run. Good to see a race to the finish though.

[Gray Fox]

Max being made to actually work for it is much better.
Perez remains a disgrace.

[Waffdon]

What an effort.

McLaren on them tyres are ridiculous.

[Ben]

Verstappen having to work hard for a win for the first time since 2021.

[Giggles]

Nice to see we're back to boring races again.

:lol:

Sport is dead again.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:lol:

Sport is dead again.

It was a boring race, bar about 8 laps.

[Giggles]

Just drop your balls and say that you're not happy because the person you didn't want to win won the race, or the person you wanted to win didn't win the race. This bullshit of the sport being fucked/great based on who wins is nauseating.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nothing happened at all for ages, it was a boring race regardless of who won.

A good finish dragged it up.

[Adramelch]

Yeah weird battle you chose to fight really Giggles. The race was a complete non-event for about 50 laps and virtually every overtaking of note happened through the pits.

[Giggles]

Yeah weird battle you chose to fight really Giggles. The race was a complete non-event for about 50 laps and virtually every overtaking of note happened through the pits.

But it's always the same story regardless. Just front up and be mad because the result didn't go your way. Brit fans are hiding behind the sport being dead ever since Verstappen started winning, but it was never that way when Hamilton was doing the same.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

[Giggles]

It went straight from Hamilton dominating to Verstappen dominating. So by that you haven't watched for over a decade.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It went straight from Hamilton dominating to Verstappen dominating. So by that you haven't watched for over a decade.

Think it's longer actually.

I came back last season and before that I think I quit during the Vettel years.

[Shindig]

Nah, even with dominant champions, I kept an eye on things to see if records started to tumble.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Giggles, lad what happened to this post?

https://i.imgur.com/Kg1mlQ4.png

8 seconds behind Norris and he was going to catch up in a lap or two was he?

[Ben]

Motorbikes thread is dead so it's going in here.

Going to Spain on holiday and it's occurred to me we are not far from Montmelo where MotoGP is running this weekend. A 3 day ticket is £100, so it's worth it even if I can get permission off the wife to disappear for one day.

Give that man a coconut

[Ben]

Tremendous reactions.

[Jimmy Floyd]

That's how Villeneuve got killed, and he wasn't in a fucking tunnel either.

[John Arne]

Why on earth wasn't their an instant red/black flag? Questions for the stewards for me, Clive.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking hell, those reactions are insane.

[Pepe]

Slow car should have gone to the outside of the turn.

[Adramelch]

I don't know that it would have made much of a difference. If the slow car was at the outside, he still would have seen him at the very last moment (judging by the on-board shot) and would have to squeeze his way between him and the wall.

[Ben]

The yellow McLaren. :drool:

[Waffdon]

Leclerc looking rapid in practice again. Surely even he can’t bottle it if he gets a pole tomorrow.

15/8 for max :drool:

Leclerc looking rapid in practice again. Surely even he can’t bottle it if he gets a pole tomorrow.

Standby. We are checking.

[Ben]

We are going Plan D. What do you think?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's French (adjacent), they can bottle anything.

[Gray Fox]

After seeing who he takes home every night he can call himself whatever he wants and I'll go with it.

[Ben]

After seeing who he takes home every night he can call himself whatever he wants and I'll go with it.

Agreed. Even my wife made note of her.

[Waffdon]

Looking like Leclerc P1 with Verstappen fighting Merc and Sainz for the other spots. Lack of high speed helping Merc I think

Wouldn’t be shocked if Verstappen sticks it in the wall in Q3 ala Singapore

[SincereTheRebel]

Speaking of sexy. There she is again.

I'm a big Charles fan.

Fuck Red Bull.

Mrs Leclerc looks like a special talent.

I’m all in on a dominant Leclerc period if it means the cameraman is going to perv on his Mrs constantly.

[Waffdon]

Surely even Ferrari and Leclerc can’t bottle this tomorrow. They’re rapid and Monaco tax

[Clunge]

Piastri leading out of Sainte Devote, maiden (proper) F1 win, por favor.

Lads im over here day dreaming about Mrs Leclerc ffs. He is probably chopping her down as i type this and im over here half hard.

[Giggles]

He's probably barred by the team from leaving one in her tonight.

[Gray Fox]

Both Haas drivers disqualified from Qualy for a non-compliant rear wing.

[SincereTheRebel]

A first time winner today surely. None of the top 5 have ever won at Monaco.
I suspect, when Max gets clean air, he will jump a few of the guys in front of him.

[Gray Fox]

Depends when the safety car comes. There's no way Sargeant and Strulovitch can keep it out of the wall all race. Though there being two of each of the front runners in the top 4 does allow for some serious holding up shenanigans.

[Gray Fox]

Brundles ability to blag these celebs on the grid is incredible.

[Shindig]

And an angry K-Mag at the back. Leclerc should be safe but I still wouldn't want to rely on that pit crew to get me home.

[Waffdon]

Norris to win without taking anyone over on track again. Yes please

Will take a Piastri win though

[Gray Fox]

Max will find a way.

[Waffdon]

Brundles ability to blag these celebs on the grid is incredible.

Him telling Mbappe’s security ‘it’s alright I’m in charge round here’ was incredible :D

[Adramelch]

Leclerc being the second highest all-time pole winner for Ferrari caught me a bit by surprise.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sainz is fucked.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Checo has half a car.

[Waffdon]

Holy fuck :D

[Waffdon]

I think Sainz is going to get back his 3rd place unfortunately

[Waffdon]

Would imagine magnusson will now get a race ban assuming he gets penalty points there

[Adramelch]

Magnussen has turned into the new Kvyat this season.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Would imagine magnusson will now get a race ban assuming he gets penalty points there

Has to, he's a nutter.

[Gray Fox]

So much debris to clear up.

This means all the medium runners just switch tyre and run to the end now doesnt it.

[Ben]

That’s a hell of a smash. I’ve always like Magnussen but fucking hell mate.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Gasly :D

That was nuts from Ocon.
