    Ferrari have found just about every single way to eff things up. I'm sure they may yet surprise me.... But I'm pretty sure we have a full house.

    Thank god we don't still have refueling.

    Yes, I remember Massa taking off after a fuel stop in Singapore one year with the fuel hose still attached.Could have been a major disaster.Ferrari dodged a bullet that day.

    Even if it's not Leclerc's fault directly, there was a pre-race directive about not hindering people in that part of the track, and you penalise the engineer by penalising the car.

    Anyone seen any indication of what's going on with Jack Nicholls? Dropped unceremoniously by Formula E as lead commentator in the week, and now not completing the race weekend with BBC 5 live (his decision apparently). Hope everything is alright there.

    Veteran motor sport commentator Ben Edwards will cover the vacant commentary position for the remainder of the season, starting with the Jakarta race weekend, which takes place on Saturday 3th and Sunday 4th June.

    Formula E not giving reason for sudden departure of Nicholls,but say that it`s nothing to do with change of management.

    Update on 27th May......Tom Gaymor will replace Nicholls for the final practice session, with Harry Benjamin stepping in qualifying and the race, commentating alongside Jolyon Palmer and Rosanna Tennant.

    Anyone seen the Red Bull floor photos after they used the crane on Perez car yesterday?

    il share them in the RBR thread shortly- the technical chatter is off and running already- including “3D” elements to it!

    So we’ve got a handful of the top 10 starting on hard tyres.

    IF it rains at any point, they don’t have to stop at all do they? Assuming they can keep it on the road through a brief drizzle?

    It would depending if it was declared a wet race. At which point I don't think anyone is likely to be staying out on hards.

    0 position changes in the top 13 followed by the commentary "and now the race will start to settle down a bit". Isn't Monaco great?

    Looks like Logan has used up his Mediums! I wonder how much longer Max can go?

    High chance of a puncture for someone from that Sainz carbon fibre that broke off his front wing?

    How is Sergeant just not making his car as wide as hell rather than leaving the door wide open on every corner?

    Can't tell what appalls me more. The dull racing or the fact that the flower bed has gone at Casino Square.
