Do we have to vote on which thread will win out of the two threads?

 

Not that it matters in Monaco but Mercedes has moved to check a loophole. Definitely not hoping to hamper Ferrari. Nope. Definitely nothing Ferrari related.

The 'clarification' comes very close to a race weekend. I wonder if anyone has time to modify things before the race?
Lets see if the Ferraris still kick out a load of smoke on startup!!

 

Although I'm not a big fan of Monaco as a race, I've become accustomed to looking forward to it over the last few years in the hope that McLaren can make use of the low top speed.

 

It's also one of Red Bull's strongest opportunities for a win. I quite fancy Ricciardo for this (Can't see Max making it round without hitting something). I might go for an early punt on Ricciardo.

 

I'm inclined to agree with you. Wouldn't be surprised to see Max "aggressively defend" someone into the barriers this weekend.

 

maybe the crash kids will be at it again

 

Well there's no rain predicted for the weekend so they can't blame any crashes on that.

 

actually......Grosjean crashes here most years

2016 in FP2 then in the race with raikkonen
2015 with verstappen

2013 in barriers
2012 with schumacher


even in GP2 2009

 

Grosjean is going to be desperate to impress, and his grid penalty means he's going to be in the thick of it regardless of quali. Surely a recipe for disaster.

 

it'll be Ericsson's fault.

 

Sirotkin . Fxxk it !

Odd but pleasing to not see McLaren at the head of that list by a substantial margin.

 

Gone for Crash'appen, he's either spun or hit someone every race, so odds are he'll do Monaco without a hitch, might change it Saturday though, lol.

 

Gotta go Barry Sheen I'm affraid. It's been ages since he won, he's due a result. Just need to get the summoning ritual underway.

 

That'll be brave or shrewd, depending on the outcome!

 

Interesting that all Ferrari customers opted for new engine components this weekend whilst Ferrari themselves didn't. Especially given the expectation of updates in Canada.
