Yup, always the case in Monaco.

I never usually pay attention to practice, namely becsuse it's never shown in Australia in the past and practice is practice, the times don't mean a lot in the greater scheme of things but this is interesting news to me.
I like this alternate universe where Hamilton isn't in at least a 1 second lead based on his car alone, but alas, I'm a realist.
Interesting tos ee all the drivers are generalyl so happy about the refuelling and Alonso even calling fora tyre war again.
Another thing occured to me just now about the refuelling, the cars will be able to push more even with the same total amount of fuel, simply because they won't be wasting as much fuel carrying it all around every lap.
I still want to see them do something to limit the negative impact of following behind other drivers though.
Friday is party day in Monaco.

THIS JUST IN: McLaren less than 50 ms off Mercedes!!

One tyre manufacturer shoud supply only Ferrari and another one should supply other teams.
That's basically how it always was when we had more than one supplier...
It was pretty even during the Michelin/Bridgestone days.
But I loved the Goodyear vs. Bridgestone days, really. Each race was interesting because the tires were integral in which of the teams had better performance. It definitely added to the show.
Well, it certainly was interesting
The fact that we're still talking about it means it was money.
Everyone else probably hanging back so they don't get taken out.

Lewis throwing down the gauntlet for Rosberg. I imagine he wants to smash him this weekend for multiple reasons: to curb any of Rosberg's momentum from last week and to pay him back from the nonsense last year. Plus, it's a track Lewis has been only modestly successful at, with just the one win back in 08.
There was a full evacuation of the circuit.
The teams weatherfrogs say dry for Saturday and Sunday. *shrugs
Weather forecasts are as reliable as a Renault engine.
Absolutely. Yet they are the reason ROS/HAM chilling instead of driving.
Well, it certainly was interesting
That was something that could have been and should have been avoided by adding the chicane that the teams asked for and then punishing Michelin in some other way. What they did only hurt the entire sport in the US rather than just the manufacturer.
I'm all for multiple tyre suppliers provided that everyone supplied by them get the same rubber and that teams pay a flat rate for the tyres over the year. Any development costs come form the manufacturer, not the teams. Same should be the case for the PUs (not sure how that works currently.)
Its a special problem in Monaco, where the cams signal gets distorted by the narrow track framed by highrises.
Hopefully the car produces a miracle and parks on a corner.
It would be a miracle, yeah. Then again, the Mercedes looked bombproof last year until Canada. They're still on their first PUs as well, unless they have new ones for this weekend?

If Rosberg was to pull that two years in a row Mansell should come from out of nowhere and beat him with his mustache and eyebrows.
As far as I know they are still on the first since the race is so much less stressful. IIRC the plan is for 2nd engine in Canada with tokens used, allowing them to apply tokens to more engines.

Looking at the PU usage Renault should be ashamed of themselves. Holy shit just noticed that Sainz is the only one not on 4 engines #blessed.

"Watching F1 with others reinforces social bonds and connections between people"... Hmm. Deep stuff.
It's not out of touch or anything. It's a survey, so yes it includes ideas you might consider stupid and others might enjoy.
The idea of a sprint or qualifying race isn't even remotely stupid as it works really well in other open seater competitions.
I think a lot of the ideas in that particular question seem a little outrageous. I know they're looking to mix up the sport, but a lot of them seem way off and are seeking to make it more artificial.
Sprint and feature races do work well in other series, I agree, but this is Formula 1. It's about the Grand Prix.
FTFY.
