Despite having issues with his Red Bull a long way ahead of the halfway mark of the race, Daniel Ricciardo mastered the conditions and controlled from the front, winning his first Monaco Grand Prix. Sebastian Vettel finished second with Lewis Hamilton completing the podium in third place.
Yeh, but surely there has to be a couple of penalty points. I remember Hamilton got 2 penalty points for reversing 2 metres in the pitlane at the end of a session. Didn't someone else get one for not going around a cone properly. That was pretty dangerous but agree that there shouldn't be a grid penalty. We can't begin to suggest that it was anything like as bad as grosjean last race.
It was actually a reprimand in 2016 for Bahrain just after taking pole he entered the pit lane to park up but was given no clear instruction where to go, stopped then reversed for approximately 50cm. Completely different scenario but I expect it to be a slap on the wrist for Max aka anything other than a grid penalty.bonjon1979 wrote: ↑24 May 2018, 12:34Yeh, but surely there has to be a couple of penalty points.

Yeh, that was the one. Hamilton still got penalty points for it though.matt_b wrote: ↑24 May 2018, 12:46It was actually a reprimand in 2016 for Bahrain just after taking pole he entered the pit lane to park up but was given no clear instruction where to go, stopped then reversed for approximately 50cm.

Rubbish, the FIA will sit down with RedBull and assign equal blame between Max and Dan and both will apologise for their actions.
Which tyre?
Penalty for Max
This. So true. If you ask me that should be a grid penalty. The kid has no brains. Seems to me he is cracking under pressure with Danny Ric producing more solid and reliable points finishes.
Thanks, I missed that. Was the Mercs graining during the long runs too and was it mainly left side (particularly front left) like Ferrari?
You got any photo?
It's Max, probably not even reprimand.
