Well it doesnt matter right now, Ferrari had no pace this race, Hamilton after safety car was nearly 1 second faster than Seb, this is a disaster. I dont care anymore, because I suspected this. Poor Kimi, Seb was second and the team destroyed his races, bravo! I am getting used of it, and I am not very suprised.
Dude. Just stay calm this time. Please
Would you stay calm if what has happened to Seb would have happen to Hamilton? I think not. Seb deserved at least 1 win in last 3 races. This sport is a big joke..
Kid, sleep and take rest. You are emotionally drained. Hamilton probably has had the most retirements from leading position and at times got robbed off from wins and his fans are used to it. Sleep tight.

HyperSofts to make their debut at Monaco... Mercedes haven’t run those as far as I know ?

Any news on a penalty for Romain ?

Vettel confirmed that they had to stop twice as they were burning the tyres up. Pitting under the VSC was therefore sensible. A bit unfortunate for him that it wasn't the smoothest of stops.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

WTF was Grosjean thinking, while nailing the throttle and doing doughnuts?

No idea, he seems to think he done the right thing keeping the boot down....

He will think up an excuse. He thought up an excuse last week after crashing all by himself behind the safety car.

I want to know why KMag was given blue flags when Bottas exited the pits, allowing Vettel to pass him.
I saw that, probably race control mistake because all marshals were waving blue flags. Magnussen probably knew he wasn't being lapped so he didn't slow down.
He didn't defend though, everyone else took the inside to defend that corner, he didn't...
Maybe didn't want to risk. I hope that mistake didn't decide the result.

I think he was trying to correct and catch as he was slipping with full throttle but it was way too late. By the time he lost it completely, the tyres had already created a whole lot of smoke. It was really that small nudge correction by MAG that was the butterfly's wingstroke.

How can a car from being dominant ala Ferrari (Vettel) Baku style in the race goes to more than half second slower in 2 weeks time I dont undestand. Its the tyres, mark my words.

Nobody has got on top of the tyres this year yet, they seem pretty sensitive.

Tyre specifically made for Mercedes.

I wonder if Pirelli will keep to secretly use this tyres also in the other GP so that to give better help to its partner Mercedes.

Pirelli changing them for Mercedes surely doesn't help.

Not the first time he's floored the throttle after the car losing the rear. Stupid guy. Someone should tell him that only makes it worse.

They were given to Bottas to warn him that KMag and Vettel were coming.
