    you could probably win Monaco in a 2CV if it was on pole.

    The awards thread is late, do you think Cosi is enjoying the hospitality at Monaco?

    If I did nit now it would be a mess. More than happy to see someone else put it up.

    It was a boring race but I am pleased for Daniel, he is a great ambassador for the sport. I predict he will remain with Redbull. Other than Ferrari I don't see him elsewhere. Seb I think will have an influence in the Ferrari outcome. Daniel deserves a car he can win the WDC with.

    Maybe it was the editing but Lewis seems to be a bit of a moaner, or rather questioning his team. Therein lies a bit of a problem if he doesn't trust them and I don't get the vibes that he does.

    Is Cosicave part of the F1 fraternity ?

    Apologies if this is common knowledge , I’m slow on the uptake .

    Can they afford him ?

    I doubt Max was cheap , and DR will want , and imho deserve , a contract at least as good as the one Max is on .

    Personally I can see him going to Merc .

    That, or it's a seriously long-running facade he's kept up!

    All we know is, he's far too eloquently spoken to be Johnny Herbert...

    Pretty common knowledge that Williams is my Favourite team.

    How on earth can a team with Rob Smedley and now Paddy Lowe on board , bugger up the car on the grid ?:headbang::headbang::headbang:

    No wonder Hamion was moaning. 66 laps on a set of used Ultras. It was a day of ridiculous driving, taking the old saying of winning at the slowest speed a bit to far!

    for some reason the team principles forgot every other Monaco GP and thought there would be a 2nd stop, so Merc tried for the undercut.

    ericsson being overtaken by a car 60 years old, fairly believeable imo.

    To emphasise just how slow the race pace was, Stroll was 5 seconds a lap faster than anyone else for a spell. That means most of the field were probably lapping slower than the F2 cars were.
