What the F is the director doing? Cut away to a pointless replay at the moment of real racing.
that's monaco direction for you. Only race where fom is not in charge and this is what you get.

Monaco is not a happy hunting ground for Mercedes this year.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Perez showing how much pace is in that red bull with a fully working engine.
If Verstappen had a problem we would 100% know about it. He’s just cruising. He doesn’t need to go any faster.

Valtteri might as well try another team. His bad luck as a Mercedes just keeps getting worse. :x

He's losing 0.3-0.4s every lap trough tunnel, how's that not losing time? He's compensating elsewhere.
This is gasly running in clear air:
283 kmh


and this is perez at 2s distance to car ahead
283 kmh
He was often slower in S2 in qualy , so its maybe just a more draggy redbull
You're saying perez with the same car has 15 kmh less drag on car in monaco where everyone runs 100% full downforce :shock:
Im saying the figures are wrong, if he was down on power, why has there been no word of it ? and the 3-4 tenths he was losing was similar to qualy yesterday

Heads will roll at Mercedes strategy team. Perez showing well today. He needed those last few laps to stay ahead of Vettel, good job

I am genuinely confused as to Mercs strategy calls, it was terrible for Lewis AND Bottas. The ONLY play they could make was to let Lewis run long to block Max from pitting as much as possible, and they screwed it thinking the undercut on the hard would work.
Felipe Baby!

Hamilton needs to chill. Sometimes it works sometimes it does not. He did not do a great job yesterday to put himself in this position.

Win together, lose together. They will debrief but they won't be kicking anyone. It's not their way.

Mercedes has screwed up the setup which lost them a good shot to get Lewis uo the grid and now the screw over the whole race. Smh.

Especially when it’s historically an overcut around here.
