What a crazy good Qualifying session!!!

Lets hope the 2-stops make it interesting. Last week race was decent, nothing better than taking een a race on a rainy Sunday morning.

Go Lando!
Monaco is just too narrow for modern F1 cars.
Good pit strategy by Racing Bulls tho

The extra pitstops made it interesting. It wasn't a bad race. It's only British fans that does be complaining about everything in F1. It's just amazing that British have no problem looking at a 5 day cricket match but find a hour and half race at Monaco boring.

It surely isn't boring - but the narrow track leaves little space to pass and too much attrition.

It was interesting... Until RB figured it out and then Williams followed. Monaco needs something to change for Sunday. I did enjoy the practice and quali sessions and you usually win Monaco on Saturday

Took in some of the Indy 500.
Didn't get a chance to watch the coca cola 600

Isle of Mann TT this week

The 600 wasn't too bad at all. Denny and William were class of the field... William especially. And in the end Chastain took it.

I didn't realize the same wall riding Chastain won the 600

McLaren lockout for tomorrow - Piastri on pole.
Hamilton had a decent last qualifying lap but Russel and Verstappen replied right after and pushed him down to 5th.
Let's see if Verstappen has another crazy first corner answer for Mclaren

It's max versus the rest again. Maybe the guy is just that good.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Go McLaren!!
That incident with Max and George looked intentional on Max's part. Some calling for a stiffer penalty, but I think that 10sec was ample

[fokhan_96]

Well max definitely going Mercedes now, and redbull would be fighting with Haas for last place from next year.

Interesting. He actually held on longer than I expected after that sexting scandal. It would be interesting to see where he lands. Jos Verstappen must be a happy man.

[kamakazi]

Most of the main players at the Red Bull that Verstappen joined have left.

Wheatley is now at Sauber
Newey is at Aston
Dietrich is no longer in the land of the living

[fokhan_96]

Redbull running with a low downforce wing payed off for the sprint today. Is like max tell the engineers to make the car as fast as possible and don't worry about the handling, he'll just figure out how to drive it.
I wonder if any team brave enough to try that setup.

[Slartibartfast]

Ahhh yes... Ferarri never disappoints to disappoint. Charles sounded broken.

he should be on suicide watch
in other news, how is everybody buying lulu's bs explanation of his quali exit comment? Man was clearly p1ssing on the car, not himself. His post quali explanation was some of the dumbest backpedalling ever

[fokhan_96]

Meanwhile, Alonso have no shame...
