F1 Monaco Grand Prix Discussion Thread

Go RiC!! Get that pole and let Max knock everyone else out of the race.

Again the Max haters

 

[muzikant]

Monaco is monaco...... Turn one after the start...a lot of trafic. How is the pitt strategy

This GP needs some excitement. Hoping Somali pirates show up in the harbor mid-race and hijack a few yachts.

 

[snyperal]

I think there'll be some Maxidents.

Monaco - A Grand Prix that is decided Saturday on track and Sunday in the pits. Overtaking on track in the actual race is virtually impossible.

I think people tend to read way too much into these early practice sessions. Ferrari have not been on the pace for most of the practice sessions, yet they pretty much dominated most of the qualis. Not concerned about Ferraris pace till they hit Q3.

Lets see if Merc use the engine boost mode in Prac 3 or Qual. Been here before with the sandbagging..
Having said that Monaco is not an engine circuit, so maybe...

Not an engine circuit doesn't mean that engines are irrelevant

LMAO!

With Red Bull consistently running at the front, this race could get really interesting - I'm picturing Max all over Ricciardo's gearbox in the closing laps...we may see some carbon fiber flying, boys!!!

Wrong, Max Will be on pole, why? He is a karting master!

Are you kidding? Looking at his record, Monaco is Max's kryptonite. I think he has crashed there every year he's raced.

And IIRC he crashed during qualifying and every practice in 2016.

 

[snyperal]

It's because he's pushing the limits on a circuit with no run off.

Also because he's a nutter.

 

[Kakusso]

Monaco - Overtaking? Only in the pits.

Ask Mansel.

Well, I don't have to look far to find more

 

[paracletus]

If the bulls start 1-2, they better put a safety car between them on lap 1 or there will be broken pieces everywhere

 

[rubaru]

I'm hoping for a big crash behind the leaders into turn one. Want to see 5+ cars out. Everyone expects it to be started by GRO but it will likely be one of the Monaco rookies, like SIR or HAR getting greedy and not wanting to leave room. Maybe even open up the door for some more Sauber points, or even a McLaren podium. Regardless, I'm expecting fun and a lot of drama, whether it's in the pits, against a wall, or something like RBR in Baku.

 

[Nick Hill]

I feel like the field is unusually full of unpredictable types this year - could make for a really, really interesting Monaco GP! I'm expecting tons of retirements (which means you can probably bank on every single car finishing )
