Vettel cooked it I believe his ultimate speed has disappeared completely now and he cannot qualify like he used to. His race will be severely compromised from here, it's quite hard to overtake cleanly at this track without losing too much time battling from my memory of last year's race. What a shame.

Personally getting a bit bored of hearing Alonso throw crap at everyone and everything at this point, I even look back now at his rants during McLaren honda, which I once viewed which much humour, as just sad. It's like watching a man get older and more bitter in real time. He was probably always l...

Even if he breaks 13 wins (highly likely, given how long the season is and how comical Ferrari actually are) it still won't be as impressive as Vettel's 9 wins in a row. IMHO.

Verstappen destroying Perez for an expected win. Gasly from the pitlane into the points with a very strong performance Alonso & Vettel Mockery of the day: Alpha Tauri optimizing Verstappen's starting position. Leclerc cannot catch a break: forced early pitstop because a visor was blocking cooling a...

Verstappen - did it with ease.

Vettel - strong start and finished strong too. He's leading Ricciardo in the championship too, despite being in a much inferior car. Also has 5x the amount of points that Lance has. Double kudos for that.

Schermerhorn

I thought these new rules were supposed to slow Red Bull down?

Schermerhorn

Wow....Max is having a laugh

Schermerhorn

Perez should be able to take Sainz fairly easily once in DRS range. Can he pull away quickly though or will be be brought into a window that lets Verstappen get ahead on the track? There are some super quick cars in a straight line out there so I can't imagine Verstappen breezing past everyone quite...

Good on Alonso, if you ask me - he has seen the writing on the wall at Alpine, so why not move on? I am sure its also making a lot of financial sense to him too. If he leaves it a year, who knows what seats will be available if any and what will they be willing to pay for him? Probably not what AM ...

Poor Lance won't be able to cope with the mental pressure of being Alonso's team mate. Vettel was a nice guy but Alonso still has that nasty streak in him and I don't think Lance will be able to cope with that monster that Fernando still is. The near Aston rear wing looked promising and the car did ...

Hungary was probably his best chance. A few more laps and maybe he could have pulled it off on a wet track on warmer softer tyres.

Ferrari

Oh dear

Schermerhorn

Really hoping for rain here. Will seperate the men from the boys.

Credit to Mercedes

They found a sweet spot in the setup and nailed it. Does this mean, the car is inherently an A-grade car yet to unlock its full potential?

Schermerhorn

Any chance of rain tomorrow? I'm seeing mixed reports.

Sainz the real MVP at Ferrari now.

Ricciardo will have to take a significant paycut if he joins Aston Martin

It would be nice to see Hulkenberg in F1 again but how long does he have left? He is in his mid 30s and does he even have a chance of any decent finishes in that car?

Now Seb has gone, who do I cheer for now?

Schermerhorn

Not surprised at all. His heart didn't seem to be in it anymore, that ruthlessness had gone and Ferrari seemed to break him in 2020 (they'll do the same to Charles eventually too) Aston Martin was supposed to be a fresh start and Baku and Hungary 2021 showed some promise but Aston seemed to fall off...

I missed the race so I am watching the highlights on Youtube. What did Sainz do wrong? I saw him pass Leclerc on lap 42 and then drive away while Leclerc fell back.... What am I missing here? He stuck it on pole, passed Max on the race restart and won the race. All in all, well deserved. The Ferrari...

Well done to Latifi getting through to Q2, this may be unfair but I wonder if Albon make a mistake on his last lap? The Astons must be truly undriveable in the wet… Astons were fine in Canada FP2 and FP3 in the rain. The team bodged the tyre pressures and the car was awful. Probably similar today.

Schermerhorn

Aston Martin look awful today

Last time in Canada they put the wrong tyre pressures on their car. I wonder how they bodged it today.

Schermerhorn

Why the heck didn't did Vettel pit?

Aston balls it up again! Idiots

Schermerhorn

Fernando and Vettel turning back the clock.

Reminds me of 2010-2012.

Now all I need is Bitcoin to be at those same prices again

Schermerhorn

2012 DNF's skew it in favour of Rosberg. Their last season together was mighty closely matched.

Overall though, Rosberg beat him handily but Schumacher didn't exactly disgrace himself. Three years out, coming back super rusty and a wonky neck, what did people expect?

Schermerhorn

Ricciardo may still take confidence from this race. He seems quicker than Norris today.

Schermerhorn

Bye bye championship for Ferrari

Schermerhorn

The top 2 teams are in a class of their own. More than 1sec different to the next car 8O . Sainz is trying too hard IMO, Charles seems pretty much invincible in qualifying. I think Vettel is also doing well. He was good in Monaco as well. Perez didnt get the tow but neither did Leclerc tbh. 1st and...

Wow, just one tenth off last year's pole time!

Always switched on.

Baku looks stunning.

It reminds me of a street circuit from the Gran Turismo games.

The sport is run by Mumsnet it seems

It looks brighter now and its raining less....

I'll catch the highlights. This seems to be a waste of an afternoon.

Schermerhorn

Perhaps they need to do something about F1 car regulations. Raising the minimum ride height would help reduce aquaplaning. If the extreme wet tyres are up to the job, they need changing. As Brundle is hinting at, the throttle is under the driver's control. If they press it too hard, that's their pr...

There have been wetter races than this at Monaco.
