The Monaco 'GP' Chat and Predictions Thread

Bottas ballsy on max, there's already been an overtake, and it's only threatening to rain. wtf is goingon?

 

Wow. That was an interesting overtake. Impressive!

 

Leclerc on a one man mission to make this interesting.

 

And whoops

 

Ah plums.

 

Charlie making Monaco a race.

 

Well that's not gone well

 

Merde.

 

Well that's going to be a safety car surely. What a mess

 

Can he do this without stopping again?

 

Safety Car is out

Ferrari fans BRACE YOURSELVES

A STRATEGY DECISION IS PENDING

 

Hmmmmmm

 

Slam dunk unsafe release from Red Bull.

Carlos Sainz for McLaren has stayed out and is up to 6th.

If rain comes and Max gets his penalty, he could fight for 4th today

 

Are Mercedes allowed to do what they did with Bottas though? Slowing him down to block.

 

Super smart call for them on Bottas- max gets a penalty and he’s upto 3rd with a guarantee of getting to the end of the race. Most he loses is 2nd place becoming a 3rd.

 

So looks like both Max and Bottas have minor floor damage. Chance for Vettel to redeem himself here

 

Looks like merc don't think the rain will come.

 

Hard compound gonna take 3 laps to warm up here, some tricky restart ahead for those on that compound.

 

Interestingly the hard tyres performing well- I expected Hamilton to bolt here.

He might have to simply hold them off at the end on some tired looking rubber

 

So gutted for Leclerc.

 

If everyone else crashes or breaks down, my prediction of Leclerc winning is a real possibility.
