2026 Monaco Grand Prix - Monte Carlo, June 05 - 07

These cars are smaller than the GE monsters but they're not small. They're still too big to make Monaco anything more than a qualifying session with a parade on Sunday. If F1 is serious about preserving Monaco (and the qualifying shows they should be) they need to either make some really expensive changes to the layout to create at least 2 passing opportunities or reimagine the weekend as a WDC points only heritage event with spec F2 based engines and chassis made to look like 70s F1 cars.

On paper these cars should be great here. They are lighter and smaller. I think the grief from the drivers is just that they don't have a lot of downforce. That's by design though. They would never be able to follow closely otherwise.

holy, I'm starting to believe the kid is a real deal

Shades of the wunderkinds.. Clarke, Senna, Schumacher, Alonso, Hamilton, Vettel, Verstappen..

Except he didn't burst out right away, it's like a sudden surge in his second year and he's dking it without any fuss too!

charles is the future of ferrari he shouldn't make a habit of letting an ageing Lewis beat him or question may start being asked

Kim Kardashian is normally toxic to her boyfriends, but seems she hooked up Hamilton with some plastic surgeon to get younger! Lol

I'm not sure how Russell comes back from this.

I don't think he can. I'm not convinced the Mercedes was the best car around here. I still think that was Ferrari. Like Max did with the Red Bull, Kimi made all the difference with the Mercedes. It's his team now and George is just there to pick up crumbs when he makes the inevitable mistakes a 2nd year driver would.

George was a nervous wreck.. But there are16 races after this and he's strong at other tracks. All it takes is a few DNFs from Kimi. George just has to keep his nose in from the more open tracks after this.
