Sebastian Vettel has won the Monaco GP for the first time in his career, ahead of Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button, both former World Champions and former winners. Red Bull were however lucky with a late safety car to make a risky one-stop strategy work.
Not unbeatable but definitely helped by circumstances. Hamilton was looking like he had the legs on the whole field today until the last 3 minutes.vall wrote:looks like Vettel was again unbeatable!!!
You can gloat all you like but he was sat at the end of the pitlane for 2 minutes so it's likely the tyres weren't up to temperature and that they played with the tyre pressures to try and compensate. Also no one went quicker in that final two minutes, including your boy wonder, so perhaps the conditions played a part.vall wrote:why he was some much slower? He was driving first in the clean air? I doubt he could touch Vettel, who seems not to push too hard in Q1&2...myurr wrote:Oh well, glad Perez seems to be okay but we were robbed of a proper shootout for pole. Hamilton a second slower than we know he can go, should have been able to at least take the fight to Vettel.
are you kidding? his q3 tim was a whole second slower than in q2.vall wrote:why he was some much slower? He was driving first in the clean air?

Fact is that McLaren had the pace to at least challenge the Red Bulls but circumstances denied us the chance to see who really was the fastest.
Vettel put a monster lap, no? I doubt anyone could go faster.Just_a_fan wrote:Not unbeatable but definitely helped by circumstances. Hamilton was looking like he had the legs on the whole field today until the last 3 minutes.vall wrote:looks like Vettel was again unbeatable!!!

he would of pushed vettel harder than the others thats for sure, it was obviously the tire temps/preasures if you bothered take notice.
Vettel put in a great lap, but his closest competition was robbed from being able to have the same chance. You clearly relish Vettel's chances in a fair fight to feel the need to gloat about this.vall wrote:Vettel put a monster lap, no?

the teams had over 7 minutes to set a fast lap, sitting in the garage until the last minute is always a gamble. Nobody was robbed, the smart teams put a fast lap in before the circuit sat and slowed down.myurr wrote:Wonder if we need another rule in F1 that in qualifying if the red flag is brought out any session will always be started with at least 5 minutes on the clock.
Because he was on cold tyres. We've seen that Hamilton was consistently 2-3 tenths quicker than button all weekend, if he hadn't got screwed over, he probably would have been within 0.05 of Vettel or ahead of him. Not only that, but we know the RBR's race pace is much worse than it's qually pace. My prediction for tomorrow:vall wrote:why he was some much slower? He was driving first in the clean air?
