    Really fun qualifying. A lot of laps that looked good but seemed to have their tires die by S3. Norris ended up with only green sectors and pulled a tenth over Leclerc. Must have balanced it perfectly.

      The new C6 tyre was a fun challenge to watch the drivers figure out. Monaco qualy just never disappoints. You can’t seriously watch those final hot laps in Q3 and claim Monaco should leave the calendar.

        While the qualis are always good in Monaco points are awarded for racing not qualifying and races themselves are generally a snorefest.

        I can appreciate qualis but I watch F1 for the racing. If I want watch something time trial style then I’d rather WRC than F1.

        You can however watch over an hour of “racing” where literally nothing happens and then claim it should’t be in the calendar. And you can do this year after year, every year 😄

        I already had my fists in the air for a Ferrari pole and had to slowly lower them as the realization sank in… to an italian I would say: “mai ‘na gioia!”

          Yes! Was really hyped the last few leclerc turns when I realized he delivers the lap. For current Ferrari form I still count it as a win 😜 Curious how the 2 stops tomorrow will play out

    Rip terrible weekend for Merc.

    The marshals pushing Russell’s car out of the tunnel was a fun watch.

        Gonna be a strange race with the forced 2-stop, lots of opportunity to fuck up strategy. Who knows what’ll happen.

    How do you know if you are rich?

    A) you have an apartment overlooking the Monaco start straight.

    B) you don’t watch the grand Prix and don’t rent it out either!

    It’s 2025 and we have a Kimi walking down the harbour next to the yachts again after a crash lol

    Ah Antonelli. Even without the crash, Mercedes weren’t looking the strongest.
