Max Verstappen was in charge of the Monaco Grand Prix from start to finish and secured the third consecutive Red Bull Racing victory at Monaco. Fernando Alonso was second throughout the race while Esteban Ocon completed the podium for Alpine.
Yeah, but if he does it again, then RBR will most likely just kick him out.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑22 May 2023, 15:35If Sergio wants to get into Max's head again, now is the perfect time to pull a little "yellow" a Mirabeau. A petit roadblock if you will.
. I'd be pissed if they do it again.Or even a simple yellow at an important moment. There's a good history of that, eh Michael, Nico...
You'd then get people moaning about track evolution or moaning because it rained more/less for one than another driver.
Just send people who crash to the back of the grid then.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑22 May 2023, 17:30You'd then get people moaning about track evolution or moaning because it rained more/less for one than another driver.
Im surprised this rule hasnt been implemented yet. Bring out a flag you are at the back of the grid, or at least the back of the respective Q session you entered last.AR3-GP wrote: ↑22 May 2023, 18:13Just send people who crash to the back of the grid then.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑22 May 2023, 17:30You'd then get people moaning about track evolution or moaning because it rained more/less for one than another driver.
Or just allow enough time in the programme to sort out the red flag issue and then reset the clock to allow people on a fast lap to go again.napoleon1981 wrote: ↑22 May 2023, 18:21Im surprised this rule hasnt been implemented yet.

If everything was perfectly fair, it would be worse for the show. Controversy/unexpected results drive more interest/discussion and promotion of the sport than anything else with the way social media is now, IMO. Those with the reigns - Domenicali et al. have little interest in fairness
Exactly. It's hardly rocket science to make sure everyone that wants to can get 2 fast laps in each qualifying session. And that doesn't mean going back to the hateful days of the one-lap qualifying.
I don't think that's true. The first half of 2021 and the first half of 2022 where we just had pure racing between Ham/Ver and Ver/Leclerc in cars that were close enough, didn't require any gimmicks, or lack of fairness to make the show great.
Call me weird but I don't think it would be fair at all to allow people to have another lap or penalize whoever crashed (intent aside) during qualifying but not during the race. Should Latifi have been penalized for his crash in AD? Should we penalize further whoever crashes nullifying a big gap? What about when the car breaks itself like Ocon's in Silverstone 2022 that caused LEC to lose a race he had all but won?AR3-GP wrote: ↑22 May 2023, 19:33I don't think that's true.
