Procession to the finish you mean.

 

[Dead Man]

True, but there is barely enough room for two cars to go through side by side at that corner even if they slowly lined it up. It is one of the few overtaking spots on the circuit and you cannot allow people who do not want to give up their position to simply jump across the middle and get away with it.

Similarly you can't just tell drives it is okay to kamikaze through there and the other guy will get penalised if they avoid the crash. This case was iffy both ways.

 

[Omiee]

Rosberg aced his restarts this race.

 

[Jibbed]

I don't think that should have been a penalty.

Same, Alonso was ahead (just) at the apex of the corner.

 

[kharma45]

so, 30 more laps or only 25 mins?

30 more laps, red flag doesn't count as race time.

 

[Juicy Bob]

2011 style finish, x5 more cars?

I agree, but the pass is usually made earlier than that, With where Perez makes the pass the only way alonso doesn't go off the track is if he stops in record time.

Basically Perez wins because Alonso has no track left to drive on.

 

[Road]

SO perez should put his car there and leave no space to the car in front and he will be able to overtake anyone? This is a bad precedent set by the stewards because if Alonso turned into the corner it would have ended badly for both.

I agree. The next time someone tries this it will end up badly, because the other car will make everything to stay inside the track.

How many clean overtakes have there been today? 2 or 3?

 

[Omiee]

Vettel is slow again.

 

[Dead Man]

How many clean overtakes have there been today? 2 or 3?

2 I think. A veritable orgy of passing by Monaco standards.

 

[Shaneus]

How many clean overtakes have there been today? 2 or 3?

Counting the RBRs on Hamilton?

Vettel is slow again.

Webber's fault somehow.

 

[Milchjon]

I love how much onboard footage we get today.

 

[Psychotext]

So how have Merc fixed their tyres?

 

[Adamm]

Come one Hamilton!

 

[Shaneus]

So how have Merc fixed their tyres?

Don't think we can tell here, can we?

PS. Webber's not gonna hold third. No way.

 

[jey_16]

Problem is that webber is getting DRS behind Vettel so Hamilton can't pass

 

[h3ro]

Pastor just said in an interview with NBC that he is fine and his impact was a 9G deceleration. :O

 

[Dead Man]

So how have Merc fixed their tyres?

Monaco is gentle on tyres, always is. Just too slow to stress them as much as other places.

 

[Omiee]

So how have Merc fixed their tyres?

They were able to test the tires at spain.

 

[TylerD]

I love how much onboard footage we get today.

Monaco onboards and swimming pool chicane stationary shots and I am a happy boy.

 

[kharma45]

Nice from Sutil

 

[Hackbert]

nice overtake by sutil...

 

[nny]

...wa...was that an...ov-overtake?

 

[Timbuktu]

Boo button. Come on

 

[DBT85]

So how have Merc fixed their tyres?

As I said before the race, Monaco has an average speed of 99MPH, it has no heavy braking zones, it has no high speed corners and the cars have less fuel than anywhere else.

Little surprise that Merc were better here, though I didn't expect them to be better than RBR.

Though they do have the fastest car.

They were able to test the tires at spain.

They were not testing those tyres.

 

[operon]

how long til Benson complain about sutil

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[brotkasten]

I want more helmet cam footage. I wish the FIA would make it mandatory. It looked so great last year.

 

[fmcato]

...wa...was that an...ov-overtake?

They should be called "übertakes" in Monaco.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Perez. For fuck's sake.

 

[NHale]

Perez is a dumbass. Congrats to the stewards.

 

[Psychotext]

I like how racer Hammy is but I still can't help thinking he's going to screw his three.

 

[Shaneus]

Perez again?

Vettel dropping off :/

 

[h3ro]

Checoooo

 

[Omiee]

Perez the only one who wants to race it seems.

Well him and lewis.

 

[Adamm]

Perez is crazy today!

 

[DBT85]

Perez doing the same thing again.

I'm going through and if you don't stop on a sixpence I get the place har har har.

 

[Dead Man]

Yeah, Perez is going too far now, I think. Pushing people around now.

 

[kharma45]

Perez just pushing Kimi off the road basically.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

2 I think. A veritable orgy of passing by Monaco standards.

Fun times.

Counting the RBRs on Hamilton?

No, pure clean on-track overtakes. Perez on Button, Di Resta on Massa and now Sutil on Button.

Penalty for Raikonnen confirmed, right?

 

[Hackbert]

wow. Perez is a tad too aggressive. It is fun to watch, but damn risky here
damn i want Hamilton to overtake Webber. he has definitely more speed

 

[Certinty]

Kimi and Sergio working together to increase their lead over Fernando. xD

 

[Shaneus]

Ahaha, good call by Brundle.

 

[Omiee]

Vettel train choo choo. he is on tire management to much =(

 

[Timbuktu]

We need a little craziness.

 

[brotkasten]

Yeah, Perez is clearly showing how you overtake on this track.

 

[NHale]

I blame the stewards. You can't go into the corner like a maniac and hope others allow you to simply overtake. But when you blame the person that avoid a collision, this is what you get. Lucky not to crash because Kimi was the smart person there.

 

[Psychotext]

Perez again?

Vettel dropping off :/

Vettel seems to be keeping a fairly exact gap.

 

[Juicy Bob]

"Monaco's boring. No overtaking."

"Perez trying to overtake? What a dumbass..."
