Seb just coasting

 

[kharma45]

Vettels fault

 

[Upinsmoke]

If Ferrari seriously think that tyre deg is a thing in 2017 they deserve to lose. These softs can go race distance and more.

Pirelli should bring ultra softs, super softs and softs to every race instead of these boring tyres.

No they can't, seriously just wow at your knowledge

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Bad luck Vettel. At least he is not complaining complaining about blue flags.

 

[John_B]

Stroll and Massa fighting for 13th position. They need better drivers.

 

[dakun]

Wouldn't go much faster to make up the time.

Hoping for the degradation.

Wouldn't the effect of degradation for Hamilton be much more pronounced if Vettel was also on faster tires? plus overtaking would be easier.

 

[Lima]

Vettel misjudged that.

Lmao nice spin bro.

"Why does it have to be Massa all the time" ahaha

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Lol Seb

 

[nekkid]

Vettel misjudged that.

Yeah, that was perfectly sensible from Massa.

 

[BigAl1992]

Massa left him room, Vettel Outbraked himself.

 

[djplaeskool]

ok well now it's definitely over.

 

[Zeknurn]

No they can't, seriously just wow at your knowledge

You said that Hamilton's tyres wouldn't last until the end? Avatar bet?

 

[Joni]

Wouldn't the effect of degradation for Hamilton be much more pronounced if Vettel was also on faster tires? plus overtaking would be easier.

Yes, but you lose at least 20 seconds by pitting.

 

[M52B28]

Alonso is driving the wheels off that car.

I don't think Seb was going to catch Hamilton with only 5-6 laps to go, especially with the traffic.

 

[Orbis]

Monaco is a terrible track for overtaking yeah?

The worst. I would never want to lose it though.

 

[Blastoise]

what happened to williams?

 

[aspiegamer]

wtf at the Honda overtaking.

Wouldn't go much faster to make up the time.

Hoping for the degradation.

There's time in the tyres, though, and no one is using it. The fastest theoretical lap is a 1:21.8 if you combined fastest sectors, but they're doing an average of mid 1:24s. If they'd pitted around lap 50 they would have had at least some chance, versus essentially zero as soon as Vettel got passed.

 

[Xando]

Honda engine overtaking mercedes engine on a straight hahaha

 

[TCRS]

did Ferrari throw away another victory?

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Incredible race,McLaren did 3 overtakes and the engine did not blew out.

 

[kharma45]

The power of that Honda.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

what happened to williams?

They signed a guy who retired and a pay driver who's straight garbage?

 

[AmaterasuOkami076]

Honda are fixed!

 

[kiyomi]

Stroll and Massa fighting for 13th position. They need better drivers.

Imagine if they had Alonso or even a Hulkenberg/Perez type in that car. Would be fighting and beating the Force Indias. Instead they are stuck with an old man who was never that good and a kid who has no idea what he's doing.

 

[Lima]

Not even the merc engine can keep them in front of Alonso. Williams aero must be horrible.

 

[Theorry]

Good for the championship this.

 

[dakun]

Yes, but you lose at least 20 seconds by pitting.

Yeah, i still think it would be worth a try.

 

[nekkid]

The worst. I would never want to lose it though.

Just replace the race with another qualifying session and split the points between them. Then it might be decent.

 

[nature boy]

Wouldn't the effect of degradation for Hamilton be much more pronounced if Vettel was also on faster tires? plus overtaking would be easier.

But Vettel would have to make up 20 seconds. Once he got close to Hamilton, his tires are gone.

There's time in the tyres, though, and no one is using it. The fastest theoretical lap is a 1:21.8 if you combined fastest sectors, but they're doing an average of mid 1:24s. If they'd pitted around lap 50 they would have had at least some chance, versus essentially zero as soon as Vettel got passed.

Again not enough to make up 20 seconds overtake and manage the race.

 

[Xando]

Just replace the race with another qualifying session and split the points between them. Then it might be decent.

That seems like a horrible idea with mercedes and their quali mode


Vettel should have pitted in lap 45-50

 

[magimix]

Yeah, i still think it would be worth a try.

Also needing to gain that different back while dealing with heaps of back-markers. A tough, uncertain choice, however you slice it.

 

[Orbis]

Just replace the race with another qualifying session and split the points between them. Then it might be decent.

Nah just add some sprinklers to make every Monaco GP wet. We've had some fun wet ones.

A dry Monaco is dire without a few crashes to spice things up.

 

[Grug]

Vettel would have been close to DRS range now if it wasn't for his mixup with Massa.

Still, Ferrari lost this off their own bat.

 

[nature boy]

The Dreams of Power

 

[Addnan]

Lap 65 best lap lol. That degradation

 

[paskowitz]

Should have gone for the softs around keep 50.

 

[jey_16]

hamilton tyre problems?....sets fastest lap

It's the Mercedes way

 

[kiyomi]

I would laugh so hard if the Williams crashed into each other.

Aww.

 

[Zeknurn]

Good for the championship this.

I'm not so sure about that. It's looking like power unit reliability is going to decide this championship and Vettel needed to build up a points lead to offset the inevitable penalties.

Good race though.

 

[Grug]

KMag terrible luck.

 

[brotkasten]

What a dud from Ferrari. Ugh.

 

[Theorry]

Poor Mag.

 

[Par Score]

Lol, Hamilton sets the fatest lap with 1 lap left.

There is no tire degradation anymore.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Poor Mag at the end of the race

 

[Lach]

points for sauber!

 

[kiyomi]

Lol, Hamilton sets the fatest lap with 1 lap left.

There is no tire degradation anymore.

Don't forget fuel loads are basically at 0. So many other factors as well, track is always getting faster.

 

[olore]

Happy for Lewis, excellent race

 

[nature boy]

What F1GAF learned today: never believe the tyre degradation bullshit

 

[Ark]

Fantastic race.

 

[nekkid]

Cue calling the Pirelli tyres a joke.
