Fernando Alonso's retirement as the Monaco Grand Prix was quickly forgotten when Jenson Button finished the race in 8th, scoring the first points for the renewed partnership between McLaren and Honda.
Might create a havoc at the back forcing some safety car period in the race. It will be interesting to see then what strategy Mercedes and Ferrari come up with against each other.ChrisF1 wrote:Worst place to get one..mikeerfol wrote:Grosjean will get a 5 place grid penalty due to changing gearbox.
It seems your data is wrong: https://twitter.com/AlbertFabrega/statu ... 1857361920 http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-results/9 ... rand-prix/Vasconia wrote:Hamilton has set the fastest lap with a good advantage. He is followed by the Ferrraris who have shown a good pace too. Another good position is the one achieved by Fernando, being 6th. Yes its only FP1 but at least it could be an indication of a probable good performance of the Mclaren. Button has suffered some technical problems(again), though.

The kid did actually very well. He'll probably not be a match to either Mercedes or Ferrari, but I do see him mixing it up with the Williams cars.
I think around the half hour point. Mercedes did not bother with another qualy push in the last 10 minutes of the session, so indeed very impressive pace.SiLo wrote:How early in the session did Hamilton set that time? Very impressive pace from him so early on I feel. But having that day in between might mean a lot of the work done here is a little pointless on the car, its more for the drivers to get their eye in.
Until the end of the season? Jesus that would be fantastic!Miguel wrote:You can't read the times at all, Vasconia, even less than usual. It started to rain about 30m in, and went nonstop until the end of the season, so everybody was on even more different parts of the programme.

Front row once again for both Mercedes with an impressive gap, taking into account that usually the gaps in this track are smaller. Lets hope that Ferrari can do more than this.
This time Sainz in front of Verstappen, I have already said that the Spaniard will make a great job too.
Alonso 8th(dont troll me internet), a position to be positive, I think.
Finally a wet race in Singapur and Abu Dhabi!!SiLo wrote:Until the end of the season? Jesus that would be fantastic!Miguel wrote:You can't read the times at all, Vasconia, even less than usual.
