"Why did I sign that contract..."

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Absolute havoc.

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

LECLERC NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 4 days ago

It's not a proper Monaco if Leclerc finishes. I know he got that one win but that was the exception.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 4 days ago

George didn't serve his penalty, did he? Oh my lord

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Merc dropped the ball with Russell. Don't know why they made him double stack if he wasn't going to serve the penalty.

[-] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

F1TV commentators mentioned he wasn't supposed to come in at that point

[-] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago

another 10s penalty right after a safety car?

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 4 days ago

Should be, but I'm not a rules expert

[-] birne@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago

According to Niels Wittich you are not allowed to serve the penalty when the safety car is driving through the pits.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 4 days ago

Why did George get a penalty for failing to serve his penalty then?

[-] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

The first lap of safety car, before the safety car picked up the leader, the cars hadnโ€™t been instructed to use the pit lane, this is where George pitted

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Red flag? What a bizarre Monaco GP.

Lindblad got really lucky. Free pitstop now and jump on the Williams.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 4 days ago

Have we seen any racing? No. But fuck me, can't complain about the entertainment (even if half of it has been trying to figure out wtf is wrong with everyone's pit lane speed limiters).

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Damn. Mega unlucky for Verstappen. Antonelli did well getting off the line.

False start investigation for Russell??? Nooooooo

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 4 days ago
[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

No further investigation phew. A drive through penalty like Perez would've been disastrous.

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Seeing all that asphalt on Stroll's tire and then Leclerc going off similarly, seems irresponsible to continue the race.

Although with all the looming penalties and investigations for positions 2-5 I'm intrigued to see what happens.

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Seeing all that asphalt on Strollโ€™s tire and then Leclerc going off similarly, seems irresponsible to continue the race.

Was that asphalt on the tires? I thought I heard the announcers say "marbles", and I assumed its balls of soft rubber compound from tires that got sheared off during the race. If so, is this the result of new tire compound used this year that creates more debris on the track?

[-] eta@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago

Later they said that it's most likely the asphalt but I haven't heard that being confirmed anywhere

[-] YellowParenti@lemmy.wtf 4 points 4 days ago

Just wanted to see the first lap and Max buffed it.

[-] belluck 3 points 4 days ago

Trackโ€˜s fucked, doesnโ€™t look like itโ€˜ll get fixed anytime soon

[-] belluck 3 points 4 days ago

Looks like they want to continue anyways. That doesnโ€™t seem smart

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Everyone's getting noted for speeding in the pitlane. Bizarre. Are they sure it isn't some other technical issue?

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 4 days ago

Williams are going to just run back the manoeuvre from last year, backing up the field with Albon to give Sainz a free pitstop ๐Ÿ˜‚

[-] PrincessKadath@ani.social 3 points 4 days ago

Ouch for Max.

[-] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 3 points 4 days ago

So, how much of a procession this race will be?

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 4 days ago

The answer is probably "yes". We can hope the new regs save us, but I honestly doubt it.

Still, I got my thrill yesterday. That was a phenomenal qualy. And hell, we didn't get the typical chaos but F2 even had some last lap action and a final corner overtake.

And I'm fine with Monaco being what it is, somehow the pomp and ceremony and tradition works for me. And the track is just spectacular, I love watching the cars go through it even though the actual racing is nonexistent.

[-] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago

At this point Russell might just decide not to brake into T1 lmao

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Leclerc contemplating that contract extension..

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Good to see Vasseur back on the track after whatever precaution they took yesterday regarding his health.

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Leclerc's front left tire exiting the chicane: ๐Ÿ’ฅโœจ
