    I don't normally look forward to Monaco but this time I'm hoping that Merc have got closer to Red Bull and maybe McL have sorted themselves out.

    Ferrari pole.

    then complete mess and red bull saunter to win via passing at the single boring pit stop.

    You have probably described the rest of the season. I'm struggling this year.

    We have the Red Bull untold issue from last year hanging over their two drivers this weekend. (perhaps told but not admitted). So some needle there with Max determined not to have his lap for pole messed with. Hope someone else, Alonso or Charles take pole.

    Red Bull seemingly strong here as well.

    What an unbearable procession we have witnessed so far this season :emoticon-0106-cryin

    still another 1.5-2 seconds in the track though here so we’ll know the full answer in Quali.


    Not sure what they’ve done to Charles car but that thing is bouncing around the track- not what you want around here!

    Up to Fernando to do the good work then. Ferrari just don't have a setup on that car.

    For one beautiful second, I thought that was Max in the barriers…

    Inexcusable really. Q1 in Monaco when you have a dominant car is a pretty obvious moment to be cautious.

    Should put an end to the "Can Perez fight for the title" talk, which was always wildly optimistic.
