Was so sad when I clicked on the deathlist thread and saw Niki had passed away. One of the best.

[isaidno]

To comeback from what he went through at the Nurburgring and win 2 more titles is amazing.  RIP.

[StanSP]

Very sad to hear

RIP to an F1 legend. 

[Ian W LCFC]

RIP Niki. What a great character he was.

 

I'll have to watch Rush again at some point in the next few weeks.

Ferrari

[StanSP]

Absolute joke these days, are Ferrari.

 

Leclerc probably has the better chance of success in this race but doesn't even make Q2 because of a very naive choice not to send him out again. Thinking he was safe even though he was only 12th before the final laps. Vettel being the one to ultimately knocking him out is very much kicking someone when he's down, too.

[Legend_in_blue]

Do Ferrari intentionally hire the dumbest strategists out there?

[PhillippaT]

Nice one Lewis.  You can tell how much that meant...

 

Who's running the Ferrari team atm.? Lol.  Vettel overdriving the car again...  Here's hoping Verstappen can make things interesting tomorrow...

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Leclerc a tad impetuous, but at least he's made this GP interesting.

[Brainy]

Yeah Leclerc's been amateur so far despite the one good overtake

[The Bear]

How did Bottas get back out into 4th when pitting for the 2nd time? He was in the train of cars behind the safety car. Surely he should have dropped further down than that? 

[Brainy]

Bad precedent there then, unsafe release into the side of a car causing damage = the lightest possible penalty

How much is he paid a year to rip his own car to pieces. Terrible piece of driving. Get off the racing line and limp to the pits, pray for rain.

 

Nope just keep your foot in and tear your floor to shit.

I think some leniency was inevitable due to it being Monaco, with a very tight pitlane and the difficulty to see anything due to other mechanics being out blocking their line of sight.

Because this isn't playstation

 

Anybody who calls that race boring can bore off themselves.

Who said it was boring?

But verstappen still could have gave Hamilton a proper nudge at the chicane or the hairpin and given his team mate a podium, something i suspect, having never played on one so can’t talk from experience, doesn’t happen on a PlayStation, but does in real life, Schumacher v hill, senna v Prost being two examples.

Schumacher tried it on Villeneuve and got banned. He did it to Hill knowing full well he could afford not to finish, Hill couldn't. Why would Verstappen compromise his own race, and points to get Gasley a podium? Monaco is almost impossible to overtake at, and Hamilton drove well to keep him at bay. In fact you moan, but the one sniff he was given and Verstappen had a go.

Not you, but there will be people out there that see the winner and very few overtakes and conclude it was. There were 3 drivers in with a very good shout of winning for 75% of that race

 

And it most definitely does happen on a playstation Schumacher is a saint compared to them lot

Same reason why vardy passed the ball to Tielemans the other week. Verstappen ended up one position above gasely but could have handed him a podium and possibly still ended up in forth

The reason he didn’t clip Hamilton, was that it would be moronic to do so

It’s not the dodgems on enderby fair ffs.
