Max Verstappen won the Monaco Grand Prix of 2021, making most of the opportunity after the pole sitter and Bottas, his closest challenger, retired from the race. Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris completed a very young podium at the principality.

Feel very gutted for Bottas, nobody deserves this despicable treatment. But I knew Mercedes would screw Valteri to gift the "GOAT" a position.
Really hope RB and Max become champions, if for anything, for not resorting to the kind of antics Mercedes does.
If that makes you feel good, ok.Schuttelberg wrote: ↑23 May 2021, 17:37Two poor races from Hamilton in five. It's fair to say that Verstappen is leading the championship in an inferior car. But, expect the narrative to remain that Mercedes is slower!
A race with no overtakes. Just wow.proteus wrote: ↑23 May 2021, 17:10Well, to me all the overtakes on 1 mile straights are boring as well. Even if no particular overtaking took place today, atleast Monaco enabled more interesting development in overall standings and actually punishing Lewis for his bad performance yesterday, and putting Max back into the fight.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑23 May 2021, 16:51Well that was as dull a F1 race as we have seen for some time. Even Brundle called it as such and he's usually effusive about Monaco being special.
Well done to Max taking the maximum advantage presented to him. Well done to Sainz giving the tifosi something to cheer about after the disappointment of Charles not starting. Brilliant by Norris to get a podium in the McLaren. Perez did his team proud after starting 9th on the grid. Aston Martin did a great job leap frogging Seb ahead of Gasly and Hamilton. Gasly did a solid job today. Hamilton had one of his rare off days, sweetened only a tiny bit by getting the fastest lap and a new lap record.
Yes. Schadenfreude at its worst.El Scorchio wrote: ↑23 May 2021, 17:38A lot of ugliness and childishness coming out on the forum today. Very sad to see.
It’s abundantly clear that the RB was the much faster car around Monaco, given both Max’s and Perez’ paceSchuttelberg wrote: ↑23 May 2021, 17:37Two poor races from Hamilton in five.

For some reason, some can’t understand the concept that the cars are genuinely close, and have their own strengths and weaknesses from circuit-to-circuit.
What about Schumacher on Mazepin?Restomaniac wrote: ↑23 May 2021, 17:42A race with no overtakes.

does the facts hurt? mercedes is obviously the fastest car (disrespectful to say otherwise to the great job by the guys st factory), where the star driver has underperformed a couple of times so far.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑23 May 2021, 17:41If that makes you feel good, ok.Schuttelberg wrote: ↑23 May 2021, 17:37Two poor races from Hamilton in five.

Luckily for you, you have 22 other races to enjoyRestomaniac wrote:No we don’t it’s nothing but a snore fest.

It throws a wrench in things and makes things interesting. I get it that the race is not full of action but I always thoroughly enjoy qualifying. And the weekend is never short of drama

What a ridiculous thing to say!
Hamilton didn't get the job done yesterday. So what? That doesn't suddenly make the car "obviously faster" unless, of course, it fits your hate narrative. But that's your problem, no one elses.MKlaus wrote: ↑23 May 2021, 17:46does the facts hurt? mercedes is obviously the fastest car (disrespectful to say otherwise to the great job by the guys st factory), where the star driver has underperformed a couple of times so far.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑23 May 2021, 17:41If that makes you feel good, ok.Schuttelberg wrote: ↑23 May 2021, 17:37Two poor races from Hamilton in five.
