Mark Webber won his second Monaco Grand Prix in three years after starting from pole and not making a single mistake all through the race. It wasn't however easy, the next 5 runners finished within the next 6 seconds. Nico Rosberg was closest as he finished second while Fernando Alonso completed the podium in third place.

Can we stop talking about technical aspects of paint?.
Hell, even if those things were in the pipeline, their effects would be wholly mitigated by Pirelli's rubber dee-lites.

A proper mistake there caused a red flag last yearraymondu999 wrote:It's been a while since we saw a proper mistake there IMO. I'd watch out for the Massenet/Casino complex more myself, and the tunnel. We saw in 2010 and 2011 that if you were on the dust in those places, it's bye bye baby.
Blah blah blah lottery blah blah blah. Can we try and keep the whinges and whines about the tyres to the appropriate thread. It's getting really frustrating to see the same 'clever' phrases such as pirellotteri appearing in every single thread.N12ck wrote:The thing is if Ferrari manage to solve the aerodynamic problems we wouldn't know, as was said it is a pirellotteri so we wouldn't know
The most frustrating bit about this is that the parent post was blatantly false, ferrari improved their aero significantly, and we immediately saw an improvement in their results.myurr wrote:Blah blah blah lottery blah blah blah.

And anyway Ferrari have said they have a good handle on the tyres, and have been consistent in the races, so the point isn't even applicable.
So debate it in the myriad of tyre related threads, not in every darned thread on the board.bhallg2k wrote:Maybe. Maybe not. One of the problems with the Pirellis is that it's hard to accurately put a finger on what's an aero gain and what's a gain in understanding the tires. This will be an issue until a definite pattern emerges in F1's pecking order.
Until then, the subject of tires, specifically their seemingly random characteristics, is ripe for debate, which, I can assure you, is nowhere near as frustrating or annoying as watching races wholly dictated by tire strategy.
