I think it’s one of the coldest, windiest and wettest days we’ve had here since last Spring. Considering how humid and hot it was here yesterday. The worst of the rain has gone but it may throw a shower or two during the race. Let’s test these drivers out. Hadjar already into the wall during formation lap.
I liked the race. I love when weather plays into strategy. It is a fast track. Lots of competition and the rookies make it interesting. Looking forward to China.
Monaco is a great traditional course, but I think it may be time to move on from it. Today’s cars are much too big for the circuit and it shows with barely any passing. The forced two stop was a disaster and the teams intentionally slowed others down.
I know it’s all about money, but I feel there are too many races overall and too many in the Middle East and USA. Hard to believe there isn’t a race in Germany anymore.
Anyhoo, go Oscar!

I like the setting, hate the track. I tend to agree that it is no longer suited to the cars. It has not really been competitive for years. That said, even a parade of F1 cars in that setting is something beautiful to see.

I think Yuki will be fine as long as he does not crash. Lawson set a low bar.

How stupid to ask LEC to give back his position, and then the stewards announced that no further action was required
I thought I saw that on the wall in the Monaco tunnel.
The forced two stop was a disaster and the teams intentionally slowed others down.
