That was a damn good lap. Suppose this is the sort of thing expected of the driver after being resigned for $150M.
I don't get Nico. In the onboard replay I think maaaaaybe he downshifted too quickly. He was at the very top of 7th and kicked down to 6th from there and locked up instantly. That'd make the harvesting and brake by wire go nuts, wouldn't it? Disclaimer, I have no idea what protections they have on this on the current transmissions.

Yawn. Just watching the highlights tomorrow. Really not a fan of Monaco.

A safety car should mix things up tomorrow. Interested to see Bottas charge through the grid tomorrow. What does he have to lose by taking some risks?

Yeah, looked pretty sorted, he got slightly sideways out of one corner but other than that wow, it`s crazy how close the barriers are, the way he cut the corners, if he is a couple of cm off... goodbye
It won't rain for the race according to forecasts.
Charging through the grid and Monaco are two things that don't come together.

Press conference has started, and Rosberg already delivers.

That guy is really quick with the flags. The yellow flag is up before the car has touched the barrier.

Q1 and Q2 were great, but unfortunately Q3 was a bit meh. Shame, but first 2 parts delivered the goods, so whatever.
Verstappen this, Verstappen that, but at the end of quali it's Sainz who's usually faster of the two. Yeah, the kid is good, but the hype is like's he's already on Hamilton or Alonso level, when clearly he's not anywhere near them yet.
If they renew contract with Kimi it'll be sure damn sign they want lapdog alongside Vettel. He's pretty pathetic in quali and somehow it's the same as last year, eventhough he was sooo sure 2015 car suits him like a glove. LOL.
Alonso, Button
Tomorrow - Pirelli procession, yawn.

*Monaco Procession. If there is one thing you cannot blame pirelli for it is a procession
Formula E starts in 20 minutes from Berlin Tempelhof airport. 21.000 spectators.
Well, this is how they roll at Ferrari from the glory days.

Well that lasted long.
The pictures at Monaco are always fantastic. Love it.
Meanwhile, Sainz has to start from the pits for missing the weighbridge.

hahahhaa
Ferrari had huge problems with getting supersofts on working temperature - they will suffer on every colder race
Meanwhile, Alonso living in another dimension
EDIT: Piquet Jr. made a fantastic recovery and what a luck for Di Grassi

Care to share? I missed the conference
What is this F1 replay program on BBc2? Showing highlights of past Monaco GPs - watching 1982 now. Is this a regular thing? I'd love to have a program showing classic old races before each race of the season.
Edit: Urgh, these 1986 cars are ugly. 1996 don't look hugely different to today.
Edit 2: that was great. Definitely check it out on iPlayer if you can.

It's another "Smiley Hamilton and Grumpy Rosberg" but it's still amusing to watch.
How does this guy still have his super license?

He should be able to nail one or two cars at the braking point coming out of the tunnel and leap a few more with good pit stop strategy. He may go no further than Massa though.
Vettel set fast lap in the morning practice and the Ferrari stans (over half the crowd) went apeshit even though it was obvious that Merc was sandbagging. It kind of reminded me of the crowd at the Pacquiao/Mayweather fight.
At the end of Q3 it was REAL quiet. I mean like church quiet. A lot of sullen faces shuffling out of the grandstands. 7 tenths off pole at Monaco? Vettel's only prayer of winning is a crash or a mechanical happening to both Mercs.
The GP2 race came after, I won't spoil the results since it hasn't been broadcast (I think.)

Eh. This years car suits Kimi billion times better than last years car. The problem is that at the same time it suits Vettel who has pretty similar driving style and has been simply better especially in quaifying. Last year Alonso beat Kimi handily in both qualifying and race speed. I don't think Kimi has been that good at qualifying since his return though. He somehow doesn't get these modern tyres warm enough to do fast single laps. His race speed has been great still (except last year). Of course in Monaco though that doesn't really matter....
