Monaco

[Specracer]

F1 has done a really good job making qualifying interesting. Waaaay better than single car qual that other series use.

 

[dbk]

Indeed. I expect qualifying will be the most exciting part of this weekend unless Hamilton and Rosberg get in a fist fight.

It's all about the yachts and girls.

 

[sandman]

Nico and Lewis could all end in tears at Sainte Devote.
It is about the yachts, people, party and race.

Remember a few years ago, Derek daily was talking about the assets of f1, the live world feed panned to a boat, and what was sunning her self, and he said, "how about those assets" .........

If it weren't for bad luck, Vettel would have no luck at all.

I know there's little to compare between open wheel at Indy vs.Monaco, but the difference the amount of passing will stand out for sure!

Not to hijack the thread but, when the hell if EcoBoost going to Indy? Just buy Cosworth and get on with it! :biggrin

 

[roketman]

Go team Honda! Tom and Scott best of luck!
2 real winners working on that team!

 

[Cobrar]

Specifically, Ryan Hunter Reay Team Andretti Autosport. Good luck boys!!

 

[dbk]

Good luck boys!

Hamilton played the petulant spoiled brat all weekend to a tee. What a shame.

.......and what a shame we had to hear about the Rosberg/Hamilton contretemps every 10 seconds or so.

Nice race otherwise.

If it weren't for bad luck, Vettel would have no luck at all.

Ricciardo sure is a brilliant talent.

What an unbelievable scene and backdrop. The race seems secondary.

This is a you pole you win kind of circuit, what's up with the other manufacturer, no one can put a car together that beat the dominant Benzes ?

First year of a new package, merc hit a home run with it. Kind of like red bull with the blown diffuser in the last gen cars.

As for Monaco it is unbelievably tight and unforgiving. You really have to see it in person to appreciate just how precise these guys have to be. It's like driving in a crooked Armco tunnel. Their just aren't many places to overtake and what their are you can go from hero to zero very easily. Take away the location, spectacle and history and it's just a too small, too tight street circuit but with it, as an event, it's the jewel of the F1 calendar.

Back in the early 60s, it was still tight, but the cars were a lot narrower and there were less chicanes, so there was more opportunity for passing - problem was, if Moss was racing, you couldn't get close to him anyway....

I think Vettel has had an enormous about of good luck over the past 4 seasons but now finally his luck has run out. It's a pity Ferrari still can't provide Alonso with a competitive car

 

[dbk]

I definitely feel at least a little sympathy for Vettel because he'll probably never escape the perception that it was the car more than his talent doing the dominating. Ricciardo having a pretty good start and being quicker certainly is only reinforcing it.

Ferrari is a mess, there's just no way around it. The Adrian Newey dream seems dead, so there's not a lot of reason to think they'll bust out of this funk any time soon. They are lucky Alonso is a magician and is driving the wheels off that thing.
