Official Not606 Monaco GP Chat and Predictions

Very dodgy indeed.

 

BBC Radio 5 live pit-lane reporter Jennie Gow:

"There was a meeting on Gerhard Berger's boat on Wednesday involving Mercedes bosses Niki Lauda, Paddy Lowe and Toto Wolff, and both drivers. They discussed what was going to happen in the future, and how they would be allowed to continue to race, and there was an acceptance that somewhere down the line it was likely that a collision would happen. Interesting

Rosberg better start winning quickly otherwise it could be over for him with just over half the season gone.

Ricciardo down to 1.19.047, Alonso 1.19.178

 

Kind of weird.

Sebastian never f**ks around at Monaco just to get pointless times in practice. He never attacks sector 2-3 until qualifying.

As he's having problems adapting his driving style to the new engines he should be getting in as much practice as possible with the brake by wiring.

 

Ever since he binned it in 2009 Vettel has taken a "collect easy points here" mindset than to risk it by hitting the wall and be given nothing.

 

Kvyat to get fired for holding up Daniel. It's Jaime Vs Vettel mk2!

 

Alonso showing his reversing skillz

 

Excellent emergency stop management

 

Surprise..no votes for Ricciardo and he is driving so much better and faster than Vettel? Hmmmmm

 

Ferrari look much better than I expected, a few braking problems but traction is surprisingly good. Without the long straights they are clearly ahead of the Mercedes customer teams.

 

If Hamilton outqualifies Rosberg again, I wonder if Rosberg might try a desperate move to take the lead, either at the first corner or at the hairpin on the first lap.

 

Wouldn't be surprised Forza.

 

Monaco 2013:

FP1 Webber ahead of Vettel by 0.3
FP2 Webber ahead of Vettel by 0.6
FP3 Vettel ahead of Webber by 0.3

Qualifying Vettel ahead by 0.2

Vettel doesn't need glory runs in the early stages, the real times will show when it actually counts and means something. Will the same pattern happen hmmmmm?

He needs to do something otherwise the quail stats against Ricciardo for the year will start to get embarrasing

 

Definitely, he shouldn't be struggling this much that it makes you wonder if he even bothered to prepare himself for this season. Like his whole focus was getting that 9 race win streak and his baby and nothing else.

Maybe he just doesn't have the hunger or the killer instinct anymore?

 

DR looks like he will be the only driver to challenge the Mercedes, Vettel pushing hard today and even going off but just cant catch his teammate. Vettel is driving good he just has a better teammate. Thak god Webber has gone so we are seeing things how they really are.
