2023 Monaco Grand Prix - Monte Carlo, May 26 - 28

[Juzh]

Wrong thread? Or is this related to something?

Max complaining on radio about his car in his Monaco run.

And even doing a bit of a brake test (well, deliberately pulling in front and slowing down) after Lewis missed the chicane. A bit of childish behaviour, really, from Max there. Not necessary.

Again you're taking broadcast at face value. Hamilton was on an outlap and his whole mission was to block verstappen on a hotlap, that's why Ham missed the chicane, and Ver doing the same. Hamilton then finally slowed down and Ver overtook him, then slowed down himself trying to prepare for another hotlap. Ver then did another cooldown and Ham overtook him again.

fp1 TOP 10.

The Williams is pretty quick for a Williams.

Strong accusations. Any source for your allegations? Or is it an eye for an eye childish banter?

It's hyperbole. He could have gotten out of the way in the tunnel but didn't. He got told Ver is coming behind him at 2.4s then 1.2s but just floored it instead. They both yellows in T1 on next lap and that was that.

Grain of salt. Keep in mind last years Q2 and Q3 were in the 11's and 12's. Assuming cars have improved over last year, those times are not very representative of where they really are.

Absolutely, these are medium tire runs for most people but it's all about the relative performance so far.

Impressive time from Norris.

[Sieper]

As always. Norris is extremely good. Piastri as well but Norris to me is one of the top level guys.

Soooo....come FP2 on Friday evening......(ive only seen brief FP1 and FP2) It seems normal service as expected at the minute? Nothing special to write home about?

I don't know how normal service it is. It's very tight. There will be surprises tomorrow I think.

I think the field is so tight and Monaco quali rarely straight-forward so I agree - there are likely to be large upsets

Would be nice if the Bulls start from the back. How can we make it happen?

Its from Toto/Hamilton Textbook... moan whenever you can to show yourself as hero because in the end you always win with that car.

this should be pinned

To remind us every team/driver behave exactly the same?

Surprise reverse-grid announcement?

Get the other teams to do a better job? (I think they would cooperate)
