George did a fab job keeping the Bulls behind for as long as he did. Max's frustration was fun to listen/watch.

As  per Merc finding the solution to straight line bouncing, will they be able to make up the rest of the gap to the others?

Of course they will, I reckon Mercedes will be firmly in contention come the summer break.

Ooh can't wait it's Monaco round and round and round and 

Who's your money on to put it in the barrier first ? 

[Swampy442]

Latifi. Or Stroll

[Swampy442]

Turns out it was Ricciardo

And more surprisingly the only 1..... so far 

The Mercs especially Hamiltons looked awful 

Think the most exciting prospect is it could rain on Sunday and properly mess it up 

[Annabella]

Both Red bulls lucked out in the slip road in FP1.

Think 1 of the Ferraris will clip a barrier , there's my prediction. 

[Swampy442]

Mercedes are running the old front wing set up, and no doubt too low to maximise the downforce

[Dnk]

My money was on Leclerc to be first to have a moment with the barrier  

Still a possibility of showers for Sunday 

[Dnk]

New wing on for Hamilton and it still looks horrible 

Doesn't look good for qually 

But go Checo

Stroll was in the wall, so I feel slightly vindicated. And speaking of barriers, Tsunoda just caused a red

[Annabella]

My prediction was bollox, Perez was the culprit.

[Dnk]

Not sure I want to watch.

I watched the F2 and that was dire 

[Annabella]

Sprinklers anyone?

40% chance of rain according to the met 

[Swampy442]

Rain now, well a bit, with heavy rain forecast. Formation lap behind the safety car, wtf

I thought the same, but as it happened they were right, pissed it down just after. Age old problem though at Monaco, lack of any chance of overtaking, was interesting in a way though. 

[Dnk]

So how did Max not cross the pit lane exit line ? 

[Dnk]

And how ironic this was the podium in qually

Concluded that his entire wheel didn't cross the line apprarently. I've not seen the footage yet, was expecting it to be a boring race so haven't paid too much attention. Sounds like it was manic lol

[Dnk]

I thought they had to stay to the right of the line.

F1 rules and rulings are all over the shop 

The grand prix was manic but not for racing, same old Monaco really

[Annabella]

Looked like the front may have done, but this years regs have changed that the whole wheel has to cross the yellow line.

[Mugello]

Maybe the best Monaco GP in years?

Great to see Gasly (amongst others) doing some overtaking. I also couldn't help but laugh with Alonso backed up half the field, even as a Mercedes fan.

[Swampy442]

Because its Max and Red Bull, thats why.

Also that Alonso show, made me rage. Monaco is bad enough without some oaf backing the entire field up.

It would be so much easier if it was touch the Yellow line with either front or rear and you'll get a penalty, it's very difficult to see if the inside edge of the tyre/s has actually crossed it
