Of course new lap record will be set, because the track was changed last year and 2017 cars are few seconds faster.

 

[Zaru]

Like Pirelli, I suspect that traffic during the warm-up laps is going to be the real decider for quali.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Since we have 50 minutes before Q1 starts, we might as well watch this to kill time:

I wish i was the dog (It's ~40°C in my flat right now).

Lovely little bit on C4 showing the unusual "pit wall"

 

[Lach]

Oh wow. I never realized that the 'pitwall' in monaco is in the building above the garage. Thx to RedBull to letting the C4 crew in.

 

[Mastah]

Sky showed Mercedes "pit wall" at the same time.

It's funny, because Sky showed the exact same thing, including the driver's briefing, but from the Mercedes pit wall.

Anyone got a Maldonado avatar ready?

Asking for a friend.

You've already accepted the loss? Shame.

 

[Grug]

Let's go!

 

[brotkasten]

Not quite, but I expected more from Mercedes in FP3. I'm still not used to Vettel getting poles in a Ferrari. It's a weird feeling, you know?

Indeed it is. I don't think the Ferrari pit wall has become used to it either.

But don't lose hope, I think either Red Bull driver might still bail you out.

 

[PdotMichael]

Speed trap now indicates the speed in miles as well.

I welcome our new American overlords.

Was the same last race.
Absolutely disgusting.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Red Bull looking pretty good, hopefully they can keep up in Q3.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Man those cockpit cams look absolutely mental at Monaco.

Red Bull is looking crazy good right now, wow. Q3 could be interesting. It's a shame that you can't count on Kimi for a 1-2 lockout.

 

[Grug]

Jesus Grosjean that was dangerous.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Lol Jesus.

 

[JDB]

damn 👀

 

[Xando]

Lewis is almost 1.5 sec off Vettels FP3 time.

Wonder what's going on there

 

[GrimmGrinn]

That was a close one

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Lewis is almost 1.5 sec off Vettels FP3 time.

Meh, watch them pull something out off their buttholes during Q3.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

So much for the new cars having more mechanical grip. Haven't seen so much sliding in Monaco since the 90s.

Jesus Grosjean that was dangerous.

Did well to get out of the way. If he stayed there the next car would crash into him.

 

[Grug]

Man if Lewis doesn't get out of Q2 it will be incredible.

 

[Joni]

Vandoorne in sixth. McHonda is doing good.

 

[Dilly]

Sweet lap from Vandoorne.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Lewis is almost 1.5 sec off Vettels FP3 time.

[Goldrusher]

Vandoorne finally comfortable in the car it seems.

 

[Grug]

Poor Ocon.

 

[chadskin]

Hulk's a second quicker than Palmer. Fire him already, Renault.

 

[Dilly]

Lawl, Palmer and Stroll.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Damn I wanted Ocon to go through.

 

[Zaru]

The wider tyres were supposed to provide more mechanical grip, but then they also had to make them much harder to last longer.
Next year's tyres are going to be softer again, we'll see how that works out.

 

[illamap]

Palmer 0.8s off hulkenberg...

 

[Blastoise]

I hate Palmer

 

[ChubbleDucks]

Palmer is so crap.

 

[TCRS]

don't forget after qualy 24h of Nurburgring!

great weekend

 

[dakun]

wow if Vandoorne is only .4 behind the top time what would Alonso do?

Also obligatory:

Palmer 0.9s behind Hulkenberg
Stroll 1s behind Massa

It just never ends.

 

[Zeknurn]

Palmer needs to be replaced for the next race.


HEY PASTOR

 

[Mastah]

Times are very close, nice.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Ericsson did what I have done more than once on F1 2016...

 

[Xando]

I mean they always sandbag but usually it's .3-.8 seconds and not 1.5 sec

 

[Joni]

Vandoorne finally comfortable in the car it seems.

Alonso should take a break more often.

 

[JDB]

It's pretty crazy how big the difference between drivers within a lot teams this year.
