According to Permane th enew Renault engine is a bomb.AMUS

How much is a bomb? Estimations - 0,45s and 0,2-3 in Monaco. Half a bomb for them anyway. Imagine Ferrari giving one of the two engines to RB, same for McL, RB reversed or Mercedes. The latter didn't bother giving Williams new engine for half a season, nevermind at the first race it was available and at their own cost. I'd like to know who really made this decision.

- forget about tyre strategies, even FI is good on tyres
- How did Magnussen do that? This embraces Schumacher's legacy.
- Can't they put a tyre symbol next to best times (TV) or is it beyond capabilities of multi-billion corporation?

Did what????

I would guess he was referring to when Magnussen went into the barrier at Antony Noghes

Magnussen said he had no idea what happened, the tires had extreme graining and the car just didn't turn at all.

Thanks for this! Very good stuff. Where is S1 speedtrap? I am guessing that McLarens are heavily wrong with necessary downforce...

S1 is a braking event into turn 5 (mirabeau). Not particularly useful imo.

What did happen here? What's the story behind middle finger?

[domh245]

Ricciardo felt that he'd been blocked throughout the last sector by Kimi (just visible going around the last corner) - it also prompted Daniel's "What a c**t of a bloke" message over the radio.

italo-aussie clint finally pushed out of the comfort zone ? angry at Marko? or Didi or Horny Horner? ahhhh Raikkonen... he probably thought it was VET. Typical.

RBR certainly looks stronger this year, but I doubt they'll be able to take the fight to Mercedes yet. I do think they could steal WCC second place from Ferrari, though.

Everybody always says how Monaco is a boring race, and I don't get that. I think it is one of the best of the year.

Sure, there is not a lot of overtaking going on, but the track and scenery is awesome, and something always happens here.

the scenery!!!

Oh dear that's gold, Frukostscones.
