Mark Webber won his second Monaco Grand Prix in three years after starting from pole and not making a single mistake all through the race. It wasn't however easy, the next 5 runners finished within the next 6 seconds. Nico Rosberg was closest as he finished second while Fernando Alonso completed the podium in third place.
2 seconds of free air in front of you is enough to push and catch the guy... they're not doing it, because they're saving tires... EOD for me. you enjoy your processional racingmyurr wrote: This is Monaco and they're being backed up by each other. There have been many processional races over many many years no matter what the tyres do. Blaming the tyres in this race is counterintuitive where they have given us variation in pace and real racing in other races.
Dear god, the tyres are a lottery and there's too much overtaking, and now it a procession the tyres are awful. Seems people want everything to be the tyres fault. You could argue that the tyres are too durable here making the one stop strategy possible, rather than a two or three stop sprint.Goran2812 wrote:2 seconds of free air in front of you is enough to push and catch the guy... they're not doing it, because they're saving tires...

I didn't bring it up here. Beyond that, there's no truth or untruth to this. People are expressing opinions one way or the other. That tends to happen with subjective matters.myurr wrote:Just like you, and several others, seem awfully attached to polluting every thread with untrue comments about a lottery. I'm happy to stop defending the tyres when everyone else stops attacking them all the time.
but theyre not sprinting, thats the point. none of them are driving anywhere near what they are capable of. how does that not bother you? wouldnt you like to see the worlds best drivers on the limits of the cars they are driving?myurr wrote: You could argue that the tyres are too durable here making the one stop strategy possible, rather than a two or three stop sprint.
wow, you really have no logic at all! the tires are lasting for this long because they're not pushing them!myurr wrote:Dear god, the tyres are a lottery and there's too much overtaking, and now it a procession the tyres are awful.
