2022 Monaco Grand Prix - Monte Carlo, May 27 - 29

[Tvetovnato]

Rolling start is most likely due to that there is only one dry line, meaning that half the field would have trouble even getting off the line with dry tyres.

But what a shambolic race by Ferrari so far. I cannot be happy for a Perez win when it’s only due to a mess up by another team. Hope that some miracle puts Lec back to P1 again.

Interesting Max and Perez on the mediums. Charles and Sainz on the hards?

[Sevach]

True how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

[chrisc90]

Be interesting new mediums vs used hards.

RB strategy could be world class again

Cannot understand that one either... the Mediums would surely make it to the end of the race now, being time limited... don't see why they wouldn't have changed.

Maybe they want Red Bull to take the 1,2?

Seems like SAI with that decision to go straight to H, fuc*ed up their preferred strategy so they switched up who should go on Inters. Not heard the radio msgs but maybe LEC needs to be more forceful.

They did everything wrong, when they decided to pit Charles he already came out behind Perez on the inters, either cover or bet on slicks.
Once they failed to cover you must switch to bet on slicks, somehow they missed that.

And because outlap on hards vs inlap on inters was touch and go they lost 2 further positions to boot.

Leclerc had to wait in pit for Sainz to change his tyres.

[Spoutnik]

RB strategy is just leaps ahead of any one else at the minute.

Merc and Ferrari made them look like world beater, they're just more aggressive and learn from their mistakes

[chrisc90]

I think even if the meds drop off at end, there is no overtaking as the RB's will be wide as possible. max needs to clear sainz sharp

[Schippke]

At this rate, the Mediums will still be in better condition by the end of the race than the Hards.

Yep... really cannot get why Ferrari didn't change to the Mediums; They'll easily do 30 laps in these conditions.

[GrizzleBoy]

So from when did the 3 hour window start? When the race was supposed to begin or when it actually begun?

They started it when they did the formation lap under the safety car and then came back in.

Edit: Where is DRS?

[djones]

3 seconds a lap slower…. What on earth is Alsonso doing?

[matt_b]

Alonso driving 3 seconds off the pace just to slow Lewis interesting tactics from Alpine makes zero sense

[GrizzleBoy]

Why the heck did they wait so many laps to allow DRS?

The stewards are doing so much to screw with racing its becoming extremely frustrating.

[djones]

Alpine have sort sort of hard on for just going slow in front of Hamilton today and ruining all of their races.

Makes no sense.

Ocon has a 5s penalty at the end of the race and they are literally making sure than everyone behind him can take away as many places from him as possible.
