2021 Monaco Grand Prix - Monte Carlo, May 20 - 23

Not a bad race for Monaco though. Good bit of action near the pitstops. A safety car would be nice though.

Sainz closing fast, Max taking it easy ?

Edit: was back markers

uh. 7 time champion is so angry there. as soon as the car ia not the fastest, tantrums are coming out.

Yep, he's unhappy.

The people that are happy are the pathetic little internet trolls. You can see them all over the various social media platforms right now running their mouths.

Mercedes really were idiots for a moment there with Hamilton and Gasly. The Alfa tauri is slower for christ sake they should have made Gasly pit first then Hamilton pushes in clean air for the overcut. What were they thinking?

Monaco reminding us how dull it is as "race" track. Max doing a great job out front but it's hardly an exciting race anywhere else on track - and the director can't even show the bit of racing that there has been. Dull and pointless.

Every now and then we have a crash that makes it exciting, but expecting a crash to have a good race is so bad. I really wouldn't miss it being on the calendar.

It’s an incredibly clean race so far. To be fair, well done to all the drivers.

Yeah true, although with them all not pushing so hard, today really is a sunday drive

For sure thinking and undercut would work is idiotic I can't remember the last time I've seen it undercut work at the front of the grid. As Perez showed an overcut has a substantial advantage.

Yeah, it was that bad that even Seb jumped them both . Crazy choice. Still, at least its a long season, and this is a 1 off circuit. Get back to the real circuits and it should be business as usual.

Calm down mate, even in the fastest car on the grid this can happen.

It's not that simple in Monaco. If you run into backmarkers you're potentially screwed. That was always the problem here.

[El Scorchio]

Owch for Ricciardo.

[Just_a_fan]

Wow, Danny must be hurting inside seeing Lando lap him.

[El Scorchio]

That sound effect cutting back from replays is very grating, isn’t it! (And it’s a shame there’s nothing more interesting to notice or talk about at the moment!)

You mean lapped cars?

Yes

@Juzh The gremlins you mentioned may be true ?

[SiLo]

There are still 20 odd laps to go as well
