Great strategy from Mercedes to give Hamilton an extra stop.

1.Hamilton


Verstappen
Bottas
Leclerc
Perez
Ricciardo

Yes mate someone at Merc is good at maths..... :lol:

Evidently Red Bull are poaching all the Merc Engineers bit by bit...tempting them with Premier League footie wages...
trying to buy the title I spose..... :lol:

Easy traveling as well Brackley to MK only bout 20 miles.. Silverstone in between which is handy

Charles LeClerc on Pole in Monaco

2. Max Verstappen
3. Bottas

4. Sainz
5.Norris
6. Gasley
7. Hamilton.... :shock:


Could be great race. Bottas needs to win here to give Hamilton a chance in the WC. Another great effort by Norris.

LeClerc crashes but yet may suffer a gearbox penalty and demote him to 5th place?... The Ferrari's looking good.

Looked like Max lucked in this victory as Charles had mechanical failure before the start.

Bad strategy by the Mercedes boys in the garage. Pitted Hamilton way too early IMO. Bottas retired :(

Sainz 2nd and Norris 3rd ..... Another great race by Norris. :)

Hamilton down in 7th.. :( :o

I'm hoping this was a glitch on Mercedes part and the track concerned not suiting their cars. Bottas was again demonized with bad luck once again with the tyre stuck on his car. Hamilton was fuming with the team.

Lets hope in Azerbaijan - Baku, they get it right in 2 weeks time.

Overall this was the dullest Grand Prix so far :(

The glitz and glamour of Monaco is in stark contrast to the race itself.

Lots of fame and history Noni,but Monaco is sometimes just a time trial...race is moreorless decided in the Qualifying.
Hope this doesn't have to big an outcome on the WC.. Drivers anyway..Happy to see Red Bull win the Constructors.
Only 4pts, Lewis will get that back...reckon a DNF from either of them will have a huge say in it.

Think the Merc Crew needed some WD 40..... works on my nuts...:lol:

RIP Max Mosley.

Though I hated this guy, have to admit, it's a sad loss when someone dies.

Probably a good time to refrain from giving my views on that guy!

It's weird that Mercedes(Toto Wolf) blames Bottas incident in the pits as the mechanics could not get his tyre off at the Monaco race 2 weeks ago. He was a few CM off the line. Seems to me that this is a clue that Bottas might be getting replaced next season. Bring on George Russell as team mate to Hamilton ;)

Oh and bye the way Verstappen crashes and hits the wall in 3rd practice. :lol:

:D

Verstappen commenting on the pundits that Hamilton is a complete driver and argues that he is!..... :lol:
