Well enjoyed quali but suspect the race will not be that exciting

Sessions like Q3 shouldn't be allowed........awfully bad for my nerves!
Loved Fernando's mindgames...."maybe tomorrow will be one of Max's inconsistent starts" |

Charles Leclerc gets a three-place grid penalty so Esteban Ocon starts third.
That was a fantastic qualifying session, and that kind of on-the-limit driving is rarely seen outside of Monaco. With Perez and Stroll so out of position, we should get some entertaining overtaking (as when it is difficult to pass, the overtakes that do happen are far more interesting). |

[QUOTE=BTCC frog;4158242]Charles Leclerc gets a three-place grid penalty
Poor Charles, the curse of Monaco strikes again. Perhaps he should move to somewhere that doesn't hold a race? |

Yeah, Max's lap was annoying. Wanted Alonso to get it, although I bedgrudingly admit he must've done a fine last sector - win it or bin it.

Still sets up a potentially entertaining few moments at the start of the race. Both will be determined to get through Sainte Devote first.....

Leclerc will be rather miffed to say the least and emmotion running high so expect him to try and win back places at the start where it is possible to overtake but that could result in the inevitable.

That set of Tecpro barriers at St Devote has made lots of friends this weekend already. I expect several more before the day is over!
Interestingly, the way both Albon and Perez dropped it there seems to be a function of the new aero rules - they come in hot, have to brake heavily and there's a transition point where the aero grip switches off. If that happens mid corner, then it's goodbye Vienna and hello Mr Crane. |

A very exciting qualifying session.
People keep saying its going to rain this afternoon, the weather forecast shows the highest chance around race time but honestly, right now at almost mid day its beautiful sun, light cloud... Im excited to see how high up Perez can get. I think he will still reach the top 6. |

Interesting qualifying. I think we might get away with no rain depending on how it's looking atm. So should be a great afternoon
I think Perez, if he is patient, could gain quite a few positions and a top 6 is not out of the question, especially here at Monaco |

Both Mercedes and Red Bull unintentionally had the floors of their cars on display.

Perez pits early for hard tyres.

I dont get it. Every year the amount of retirements, incidents at Monaco in F1 seems to get less and less.
They are even driving the whole race on 1 set of tyres. LOL like 3 laps after posting this the rain starts and all hell breaks loose. Last edited by v8supes; 28 May 2023 at 14:32. |
