Ad. Yay Australian coverage.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Alonso is slow or looking after his tyres?

My guess is a little bit of both.

 

[Addnan]

Could they not have had DRS up the hill from St. Devote?

Is that section not really bumpy and barely any space?

 

[DBT85]

Oooo Piq on fire on the pit entrance

 

[Adamm]

Fire!!!

 

[BrokenEchelon]

THIS RACE IS ON FIRE!

 

[TCRS]

Vettel backing off or in tyre management mode?

yep, just confirmed.

 

[nny]

Fuck; on fire

 

[Omiee]

Safety car?

 

[CurlySaysX]

sheeiitt!! commercials can't see no fire!

 

[Dead Man]

Ad. Yay Australian coverage.

Perfect timing too, Murphy in full effect as usual.

 

[TCRS]

AAAAHHH FUCKING ADS!! I only saw that Caterham and the driver getting out.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

lol that "nope" moment when he realizes his car is on fire.

 

[bobnowhere]

Aaarrrrghhhh, Aus TV adbreak incidents!

 

[nny]

I apologize in advance:

...would you say a car on fire would Pic your interest in this race?

 

[Shaneus]

Maintain the gap? Fuck that shit.

 

[Adamm]

Alonso is slow

 

[DBT85]

Maintain the gap? Fuck that shit.

You guys are getting more radio comms than the BBC world feed

 

[bobnowhere]

Alonso train forming!

 

[kharma45]

Is that section not really bumpy and barely any space?

It's narrow but there is enough space for two.

 

[Certinty]

This race is only ever fun when it's wet.

 

[hylje]

Wake me up when the race is over.

 

[DBT85]

Bianchi was in the wrong gear and stalled the car, hence the start.

 

[TylerD]

Such a dumb race, and I love it.

Aussie commentators covering what happened over our ad break :/

 

[Diablohead]

Nothing is going to happen with over takes until pit stops start to come into play, zzz

I love this track but not for the racing lol

Or vettel will suddenly be given the code word "sweep the leg" and attack.

 

[Adamm]

Zzzzzzz, classic Monaco

 

[Shaneus]

Wake me up when the race is over.

What race?

 

[Psychotext]

Yay, Monaco tedium.

 

[operon]

anyone awake

 

[Shaneus]

Oh interesting, STR using Renault next year. Ferrari this year, yes?

 

[-SD-]

What race?

Which driver gets back to their yachts first. That race.

 

[DBT85]

Aussie commentators covering what happened over our ad break :/

Ahh ok.

as for the Monaco boring comments, I agree. I shouldn't have to hope for an accident or rain fora race to stand a chance of being interesting. I get why the drivers love it, and I get why it won;t ever get dropped, but my god they could have a more interesting race somewhere else.

Yep, confirmed this morning

 

[nny]

What race?

Indy 500?

 

[Juicy Bob]

This is enthralling. Don't get the hate for Monaco.

 

[Omiee]

This is very very boring, no fights at all.

 

[kharma45]

It'd be fun if they could at least drive on the limit.

 

[Diablohead]

Ahh ok.

If only they could change some road shapes to be wider, it's very much a follow the train due to width.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Alonso's pace is tuuuuurible.

Edit : Okay, he's done saving tires now.

 

[Psychotext]

This is enthralling. Don't get the hate for Monaco.

I'm on the edge of my seat... waiting for a single thing to happen.

 

[TCRS]

where is sunhilegend? I miss his gifs, I didn't even see that car on fire.

 

[Omiee]

Alonso stepped it up, good move just before the stops.

 

[nny]

They should introduce Mario Kart power-ups for this race.

 

[Diablohead]

It's more interesting to watch the marshal's around the track to see what they are doing.

They should introduce Mario Kart power-ups for this race.

KERS 2.0 get charges by driving over power plates around the track.

 

[Juicy Bob]

All it takes is one mistake by one driver at one corner and we'll get a Safety Car.

And that'll change the entire complexion of the race in an instant.

 

[Addnan]

This is enthralling. Don't get the hate for Monaco.

Because this is usually it, race is decided in the first 1 or 2 laps.

 

[nny]

Hasselhoff!

 

[Chris R]

Nico to pit shortly it looks like with the gap increasing

 

[John Dunbar]

david hasselhoff was the most exciting thing so far.

 

[DBT85]

Problem is that because the tyres are so limp nobody is pushing, with nobody pushing they are less likely to make a mistake.
