Grosjean Awarded 3-Place Grid Penalty for Monaco

[Boby Kim]

Im afraid a grid penalty does not solve the problem. Grosjean denied that he did something wrong and he certainly did not expected any penalties, so he said in a interview

daniel went for a spin under VSC

also some of the f1 teams twitter account having their own race during the race lol

I found Hülkenbergs comments most suitable. He has some serious bad luck this season

 

[Celestiale]

They let him off very easy...If Grosjean continues like this, it's soon a bye bye from F1 for him. Ridiculous driver.

 

[JonnyCombat]

Rush of s**t to the brains as they say.

“Oh crud my 747 has lost power, I’d better steer it towards that large city”. - No one ever

 

[leseb64]

What beauty he has in the art and the way to destroy his car and that of others it is magnificent...retirement sounds fast!!

 

[ltcars]

How much money was destroyed in the crash?

 

[Mr Latte]

The footage sitting by himself on the "naughty step" was just so comical.

Grosjean
Romain's, at nil pwa... (lol)

It's easy to be commentating f

If an amateur did this in iracing he'd probably be banned! In real life its more or less ok though.

iRacing's rule enforcement is notoriously lax. They'd rather let the algorithm sort it out.

I would like to see Giovinazzi on Gross-jean seat...

 

[Craig Dunkley]

Basic stuff really, that is learnt by all, at the beginning of there driving career...I guess speed alone has got him a seat? ..but basically he should not be anywhere near an F1 car....why are the Team even allowing him to continue??

 

[Jan Larsen]

Because when he finally DOES get his act together, he's fairly quick. Right now he's crap, his selfesteem is crap, his reputation is in tathers and to top it all off, Magnussen is performing better than ever.
But I do agree with the vast majority here, if this continues, Haas will be forced to look elsewhere. The last time a Haas driver scored 0 points he got the boot - Gutierrez.

 

[Cleopatrajewell]

why post people over Formel 1 . Its BORING!

 

[gamer19]

I actually love the guy, he seems nice and... how would I put it... tender, I guess.
He better pick up his pace, the replacements are always just around the corner in F1.
Lewis did, so can he, I'm sure.

 

[LeSunTzu]

It looks like he has issues when he has a competitive car. With an underperforming Haas he did not have moments like this one and now we see a repeat of the Lotus years. He seems unable to cope with the pressure, which is a pity because he is fast. So far Magnussen and him have been making a mess of a season that could be great for Haas.

Hopefully the penalty will have the same effect as Magnussen's: a clean race at last.

 

[Jamiedh303]

I can't really understand why he full throttle when he know there are like 10 cars coming and he want to spin the car into the track... meaby someone can open my mind on this, but this action is seriusly horrorific to see in f1

I expect he thought he could doughnut out of it, wide, on the far side of the track and carry on. Whatever his thoughts, it was a reckless decision. Deserved penalty for Monaco.

 

[boomn]

Almost as bad as Grosjean's move is the team boss Gunther Steiner defending his drivers even in obviously stupid and dangerous situations like this. Ok, Grosjean's inability even after the fact to recognize how bad this was and his refusal to apologize ranks slightly ahead of that, though it's probably fueled by how Steiner defends him.

Unfortunately for Grosjean, I think he could doing better and his career continuing to progress if he had a team manager that wasn't on his side so much. I don't think Grosjean is having a problem with the pressure, I think he isn't getting the right kind of pressure and coaching

I guess it's sometimes too easy to be over-critical of these drivers from the safety of our sim-seats -- so he lost control, and maybe it could have happened to anyone out there.
Certainly nothing new to see a driver spin in F1.

The spin in itself is not that bad I agree. The real trouble is that its one of many mistakes this season. But Other than that Im with you - ppl are very critical and talk like hes generally a very bad driver and always has been. If he was a bad driver he wouldnt have lasted so many years in F1. The first season he had with haas was more than approved. But of course everone Can see hes having a bad time at the moment and need to turn things around sooner than later.

When asked if it was the correct move to keep his foot on the power, he replied: “I think it's the natural thing to do".

well he's wrong! Yes, in a FWD, you should keep your foot down when you get oversteer but in a RWD you should let off
