They have to make some changes to Monaco. Given that the track can't really be changed, maybe they should disable blue flags during Monaco. That would get front runners to struggle to overtake backmarkers causing bunching up and chaos.
Can't really fix this track. It has always been this way. Even when we had smaller lighter cars there were barely any overtakes here, and even when we got overtakes they put drivers at risk, and it's basically a trust game. If the driver in front really doesn't want to be overtaken you will not get through.

What a joke of a strategy, as usuals McLaren not doing well in a wet race strategy.
Really?! Don't blame them for playing the safe option, Lando was in no position to go aggressive on it.
talking about the Transition from wets to slicks , shouldn’t have gone to inters, or if we did 2-3 laps earlier

Fastest lap for the extra point. Good strategy from the team!

TBF, it seemed like the correct call at the time.

Lando is catching fast but even if he catches Rusell it's gonna be impossible to pass him here. Lando doesn't have enough time.

2 tenths! Good effort. Fastest lap, so 9 points. Not too bad!

Very close in the end, but this track is impossible to overtake in. The best hope would have been pushing George into a mistake.

There you go. Monaco. It's my favorite track but I hate how narrow it is. Today's 5th place belongs to Lando as fate stole that from him and our bad strategy but I take solace seeing that we had the 3rd best car here by far.

Reality was though we were comfortably behind the pace of the big teams in the first phase.

Let’s see how we get on with more conventional tracks but looking like P4 constructor at best.

I think we need to throw a party for Daniel. HE DIDNT GET LAPPED, what a drive from him.

Sarcasm; off

Seriously , what is he even doing, he would have been easily lapped if not for the mid-race Red flag

Perez and sainz showing what second drivers can do , Daniel showing what they can’t

I think we should have gone to inters and gambled for the race win - had we have gone a couple of laps before Checo I’m sure we had a gap to make use of those tyres and jump those ahead?

Maybe I read the gap wrong though I can’t remember

Lost only one point, and being better than other midfielders. Good enough.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows
