[Official] Monaco Grand Prix 2018: Grand Prix Weekend Thread

[Paulaweybridge]

I’m going to miss Ch4’s coverage next year as I think it’s excellent and Steve Jones hinted on it by saying that it is probably the last time he will be there, certainly as part of a television presentation team. I have really grown to like him and his style of presentation which is very different to the usual mould. You can see that Susie likes him ...😉 ... There is something so special about Monaco with its unique and chaotic atmosphere, enjoy the race everyone ... 😀

Mad Max or Sensible Max!!! ....😂😂.... well said DC

A very clean and uneventful start.

Stroll really is totally lost and out of his depth to an incredible degree.

[GT6]

Not the exciting race we were hoping for, but hold on Rikki may have problems

[bjohnsonsmith]

Despite Ricciardo's PU issue, Vettel isn't making that much of an impression, unless he is just holding back.

[GT6]

Alonso out

[bjohnsonsmith]

First VC as LeClerc destroys his front wing and Hartley's rear wing.

Back to green flag.

[bjohnsonsmith]

Congrats to Ricciardo, a stirling drive and congrats to RB.

[GT6]

a sterling job by Daniel R in an otherwise tedious ace

i wouldn't say tedious, for once at Monaco. Processional yes, but despite that I rather enjoyed it and we got the right result.

I have to agree, processional mostly but often with that will they won't they pit/make a bold move/lose focus. Was a rather enjoyable race for that almost endurance race thoughts of what could happen. Definitely not a race for on track action but for the tension and excitement a decent event. And much better than Indy or I expect the 600 to be this evening.

Has any top 6 driver made as many silly mistakes as Verstappen in their first 3.5 years, this side of the millenium? Lewis was a champion in his 2nd year and only 1 point shy of double champ.



Vettel the same, going on a 4 title string from his 3rd year and almost 2nd year he just needed a bit more time to catch those Brawns.


Both of those guys have made some silly mistakes over the years, definitely Vettel moreso which is why he nearly got beaten a couple of those seasons, but not anywhere close to Verstappen.

He's certainly coming across as a spoiled child who's been handed everything on a silver platter and never had to suffer and work through adversity ................. Oh wait....

Spoilt Child is exactly what I thought too with all of his petulant whinging this weekend.

He's going to be really upset when he realises that all the money thrown at private testing and wind tunnelling Formula 3 cars won't actually buy talent.

Larry would do better to adopt someone else.
