And further: Merc seems to handled the slow start sickness. The strangest on sprint was Perez:s speed, and sad point was¨Hadjars problems. Never on the other car?

Katherine Legge did a sterling job by binning it while trying to avoid Ryan Hunter Ray.

Grosjean finished in a respectable position and Schumacher didn't embarrass himself too much.

As you say, it was a great race.

Now that Antonelli is so far ahead in the points I'm going to suggest that the Championship is decided and this is going to crush Russell's confidence when he may have felt that this was going to be "his" year.

I still believe that he'll leave the team by the close of the season.

Nice to see Hamilton and Verstappen back on the podium.

Ferrari getting good points and especially Hamilton squeaking past max for 2nd was delicious. Also tasty... Both Alpines in the points.

I'm still wondering why he didn't opt for the Mustang when Ford would have been happy to throw a car at him for the race. Maybe it wasn't race proven enough yet ?

The M4 sure wasn't slow and there are Porsche GT3's sitting on the shelves. Maybe not the A8 Historic F1 this weekend at Brands Hatch. Full Grand Prix Circuit as well.

I'm not sure that Kimi Antonelli is as good as Toto Wolff thinks that he is.

Granted, fast in F2, looks the part and is great for advertising but he hasn't done anything that's made me draw breath.

I think that he was promoted too soon because Toto didn't want to miss signing "The next best thing".

By all means sign him but give him time to learn his craft in a car with a Mercedes Benz engine while he adjusts to the Big League and then when he's ready put him in the Factory Seat.

I hate to say it but it looks like he's a bit out of his depth right now because he's been fast tracked too early.

and how many races as he won this year so far?

Ergo F1 'formula'; a set amount of green fuel max. wheel base, max track width, max hight, minimal ground clearance. max tyre dimensions, save for flat bottom aero as you please and good luck with it.
Want e-power, feel free, but no pre-charging so charge the battery with the fuel allowance and energy recovery.

And scrap half the rules of engagement.

So even if you just added a couple of pistons to the current F1 engines to make it a V8 you'd still only have a 2 Litre so are they going to increase the capacity and leave it at that or will Hybrids still play a role ?

Also if you insist on using "Sustainable Fuel" why bother using a Turbo or a Hybrid at all as you're already as "Green" as you can be as you're not trying to be efficient with Fossil Fuels are you ? Or is it just great Marketing so that we can sell a few more Hybrids ?

If you're missing the drama, only a few more days until the next race

Zoom zoom!

(Having Russell crowned before the season kinda bugged me, so Kimi in there pleases me to no end. Also, Ferraris are sometimes doing /something/, so that's a little fun too.)

I got a lot of my bingo card for things that I wanted to happen actually happening at the last race so, for the first time in a while, I'm hoping the good times continue and there is some good racing at Monaco.

Not until they make the cars even smaller. However there isn't any Active Aero this weekend so lets be grateful for that. Having said that, Qualifying is going to be interesting. I'm thinking that Verstappen might be on Pole.

The only thing Monaco has is it elitist partying , oh look at me crowd. As Bill said Qualifying will be interesting and IMO is THE race.

It is better than a modern day GP just because of the noise and the cars are actually racing. The Monaco GP is a tradition that's become a bit of a farce but too many people make too much money out of it for it to be cancelled.

Joined: UTC Posts: 22675 Location: South East Great England of Britishland	UTC quote Apparently the reason that there were so many pit lane speeding penalties was because so many drivers cut the pit lane entry. Something that they were warned about during the briefing. Alpine are appealing their penalty. Perez loses his first points in 2026 for being out of position at the restart which means Alonso finishes P10. Not bad when he started in 21st.

Did I laugh when Max stalled? Yes.

Do I feel bad? Not really.

I am a petty fan...

Notes:

Agree Kimi will be almost untouchable, there is a lot of racing left, but he seems to be DC material.

Glad Hamilton is showing up again consistently.
Bummed G-man got penalized. Would have been great to see him on the podium.
Poor Leclerc.
Happy for Hadjar.
Come on Cadillac... show some sign of life.
