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.
Rosberg got a little too carried away. His car was set up to extreme and he paid the price. Very soft front tyre pressures + much forward bias. Is this the first time I ever saw a car bottom out on one side under locking?gray41 wrote:Did anyone really think Ferrari were going to be anywhere close?
Great job by Hamilton, finally got the job done.
But, but he's only 17 and put in a fast lap in practice dont forget.SectorOne wrote:Total silence again after Sainz pips "lil Senna".

"The traffic we had this weekend was quite bad. It seems a little bit strange there are not more investigations going on and in free practice it was just ridiculous. In FP3 there was just no rules out there, people were going out of the pit lane on a very slow out lap, you were on a fastest lap and they tried to close the door in every single braking point."
Jenson Button concurred with Alonso's thoughts, feeling the number of out laps required to warm up the tyres is a contributing factor.
"Totally agree [with Alonso]," Button said. "It feels the worst it has been but we're going to do it unless there's a penalty. That's the problem."
Button also said the matter would be brought up with FIA race director Charlie Whiting at the next drivers' briefing.
Ι think it was eaaaaaaaaaaaaaasy(as JB said), he lost 0.5 in S1 but was only 1 tenth slower than his fastest lap when he crossed the finish line.Andres125sx wrote:How many people think Button could have been in Q3 without that yellow flag on his final attempt?
Jenson Button wrote:“There’s always a bit of ‘shoulda woulda coulda’ in qualifying, but I would have easily been inside the top 10 today.
“On my final lap in Q2, I lost a lot of time lifting for the yellow flag at Turn One. I then gained a lot of it back - I was only a tenth off my best - but it wasn’t enough. And I think we could have had some fun in Q3, too - I think we’d have been fighting two or three cars for position.
“The car felt really good – although we still don’t have enough outright pace - but I have a lot of confidence in it, especially under braking. Today’s performance shows the progress we’re making. The team has done a fantastic job this weekend, and they should be happy because the car is getting better all the time.
“This is a nice little stepping stone for the future. Our aim tomorrow will be to score points.”
Total silence will be deserved, when Sainz will outscore the lill Senna in general standings. Right now they are equal and being faster in qualifying does not bring points. There was a bold talk everywhere how verstappen will be eaten for breakfast, but he has allready done enough to close the mouths of the speculators.SectorOne wrote:Total silence again after Sainz pips "lil Senna".
