For once Stroll wasn't to blame for crashing
I’m still blaming him .
Lewis under investigation for a safety car infringement, more than 10 car lengths behind the car I. Front but it didn’t have any effect on those behind or even Antonelli in front. Just need Antonelli to stall at the restart now for a Lewis win
Charles saying his issue was a brake problem , not the track surface

10 seconds, he'll still get good points, but it's that he's made 2 overtakes on track at Monaco.
Perez gets a point for Cadillac, but if he gets a pen, then Alonso gets the point.
That was actually a decent race for Monaco.

Perez is definitely too far forward. So i think Alonso's getting a point in that Aston.
Also just realised that Russell is so far back from Antonelli that Hamilton is now P2 in the WDC. Kimi's championship looking sealed already

George is 68 points behind = 2 Wins @ A 2nd place .
Not insurmountable, but worrying for George .
It appears that the speeding it the pit lane was a known issue! In that the entry to the pitlane was changed this year at the Cadillac end of the pits to open it up but the timing loops in the track were not changed! So any driver that cut the entry corner a little (allowed under the rules) would shorten the distance travelled between timing loops. So while they might have actually been travelling below the limit the time/distance calc via the loops would show they are speeding!
It was raised at the drivers briefing and the teams informed that cutting the entry lines could result in speeding!!!
So it does look like there is a reasonable explanation but the teams and drivers didn't listen to what they had been told!!!

Happens a lot in nascar, they don't break the speed limit, but they get from the timing pylon at pit entrance to the next too quickly by short-cutting the entrance.
Hadjar keeps his podium, Perez loses his point and it goes to Alonso.
That was chaos. Will normality return for Barcelona?
Nobody could have predicted the season thus far.
How might it have played out if Verstappen had been in there, we will never know.
Is Kimi brilliant or has George lost his focus? I am thinking Kimi has rattled George which has impacted George and his focus. I don't like George but in the same car George should be doing better than this.
Even Charles is a bit rattled by Lewis. Charles has never had a challenging team mate although I do think Sainz was beginning to challenge before Lewis replaced him. Many were doubting Lewis last year.
There are some good races coming up, let's hope we are entertained. We need to see someone other than Kimi on pole but I am loving that he is showing the others that they not as good as they thought they were.

I must say that overall I’m enjoying this season much more than I thought I would ( Williams are a MAJOR disappointment personally speaking ) .
The rule changes seem to be working , but just the general feel when I tune in is better .
Getting a bit frustrated with Croft now , though I’d still keep him .
Brundle brilliant , Chandhook very good as are Davidson , Bernie Collins Button .
Bin off Naomi , all she ever does is state the bloody obvious or repeat what the others have said . No I’m not racist , but imho , she’s only there because of the colour of her skin .
