Monaco 2016, as soon as Hamilton was let by Rosberg he was the fastest man on track and was catching Ricciardo. It was once it was essentially dry that Ricciardo was quicker but Hamiltonw as on wet tyres on a dry track and Ricciardo on inters. Hamilton also would have won if not for a shocking out ...

Looks to be rainy for qualifying at this stage..

Red Bull are doing what they usually do - handle drivers poorly. They had a falling out with Webber because they committed everything to Vettel when he came along. They lost Vettel because they committed just about everything to Ricciardo when he came along. Now they've lost Ricciardo because they'v...

Hopefully Alonso's move to WEC means there's a bit extra interest in endurance sportscar racing here. Anybody else tuning in? Race starts 11am GMT.

Toby.

I'd love to see Leclerc in the car, but I don't see it happening. As I said a month ago and was derided on here, I still expect Leclerc to go to Haas.

It'd be great for him to to Ferrari and defeat Vettel though. The drama..

Toby.

I am really hoping that Vandoorne is out. Alonso is good, but come on. By now there should have been some hint that Vandoorne is capable of at least matching his teammate. Every dog has its day but Vandoorne doesn't look like he's even had half an hour where he might outshine Alonso. And as well as...

Toby.

Unlikely, I admit, but what about Gasly? Renault might like a French driver in one of their teams.

Not sure Red Bull would let him slip away that easily though.

Toby.

It was the same situation for Vettel & Webber. Different slightly there in that Ricciardo is arguably as good or better than Verstappen, whereas the same couldn't be same about Webber and Vettel. I think we might have a different opinion on whom might be the better driver, in terms of speed then it...

Toby.

I've been a little disappointed with Vandoorne to be honest. Alonso is a great driver but I'd have liked for him to have beaten him more often. He's very much in Fernando's shadow at a point in time where he should be starting to chip back at the old man. I reckon he'll get another year though. I'd ...

There's no way that's Alonso's voice.

Looks like his PR company has gone into overdrive the last 24 hours. I don't know Alonso, but a lot of the stuff coming out seems too cheesey to be from him.

Toby.

Yep agree with that but even if they were similar in ability, it was clear to see how the young German ...

I don't get this idea that Red Bull would "prefer" Max to win. Why? What difference does it make to them who wins? Look at the grandstands at each GP. Thousands & thousands of orange clad young current or potential consumers of that sh1tty drink and purchasers of RB paraphernalia. It's all about ma...

Toby.

Absolutely one of the greatest, and one of the few drivers who it could be said took just about every single opportunity presented. A top quality driver who made few mistakes, was aggressive - but within the rules - and could be relied upon to deliver when needed. Unfortunately a few career mistakes...

Toby.

Max angle has been overplayed. He has successfully raced against Max and came out on top for majority of his career making much fewer mistakes. I dont think either one is definitely better than the other to be honest. Also I dont think this is final destination for Ricciardo at least its not set in...

Toby.

Alonso to Red Bull would make an exciting line-up. The old stallion in his twilight taking on the young buck. Would make for one hell of a story if Fernando came out on top and then retired, given the accolades Verstappen has. Unfortunately, regardless of what Red Bull say, I can't see Fernando goin...

Toby.

Of course I don't expect everyone to agree since I was replying to a post that suggested that Renault could be third. If you want to believe that Renault can get third go ahead, but you probably are not paying enough attention to the current gap between Renault and Redbull. While perhaps it's optim...

Toby.

I agree it wasn't a terrible squeeze. But the effect of it was to force Vettel to take a really tight line and lose places. The significant point is that they discussed the start before the race and agreed a course of action, which Webber then ignored. He was supposed to stay out of Vettel's way be...

Toby.

While none of us were privy to that pre-race conversation, I just don't see how a) it could be considered an unreasonable place for Webber to have put his car entering T1, or b) a place where Webber would be expected to back out. There was a whole race ahead of them, and I expect he would have let V...

Toby.

- The multi-21 accident in Malaysia was revenge for what happened in Brazil 2012, just two races earlier. Mark squeezed Seb to the pitwall at the start when the WDC was on the line. That's been said before, which I thought at the time and continue to think is a load of rubbish. The footage is avail...

Toby.

I think Honda is improving quicker than Renault Yes, that's probably true, but that's only because Honda started out so far behind everybody else. It's only natural for the worst performing supplier to improve at a greater rate than the better performing ones - because there's so much more they can...

Toby.

Hopefully they do something about the physics in this game. I loaded up the 2017 game again last night thinking I'd give it another go and I was again disappointed. I've always played more simulation games in the past (GT, rFactor, Assetto Corsa etc), and I just find the Codemasters handling to be f...

Another great race. Top four were stars. Even when Rossi doesn't have a bike capable of winning the race, he's still able to fight to the end and pull out some magic.

Toby.

Max would beat Sainz. Do you see how people still talk about battles with Max back in the day? Like Ocon, Sainz...they tall with bitterness. They think they are ready to compete with him again and refer to past results. When Max raced Ocon, Ocon was in the best car and had more years experience rac...

Ferrari was still there, mikey. McLaren was there, Williams was still in people's minds... Do you think drivers the quality of Lewis & Seb would treasure a "WDC" earned is a dramatically watered down series of they had an alternative that include Ferrari and a combination of Merc, Red Bull and/or M...

Who gets shafted most with this setup, I wonder. McLaren? Sauber?

Received an email from GP Predictor yesterday saying they're moving to an automatic system soon.

Oh, so Vettel deliberately lost to Ricciardo in 2014? That's an interesting theory.

Toby.

Looks good for Red Bull on the basis of Hungary results, where Toro Rosso outclassed Renault. If that continues it will be difficult for Renault to mix it with Honda powered Red Bull and the Ricciardo will be outside that top six. Hungary should not be taken as the norm for Toro Rosso this year, as...

Important opportunity for FI to show off how far they have developed their 2019 car, to attract potential buyers.

Toby.

^^ Difference being online it would have ended up with Ricciardo on three wheels and Raikkonen upside down!

In comparison it was a masterly executed overtake

Toby.

:thumbup: Good result for the team going into the summer break. The boys and girls back at the factory deserve this time off, and to cap off the first half of the season with our best result yet is something we can use to motive at us going into the second half of the season. There's a long way yet,...

Toby.

Hamilton's weakness has always been that he drops too many races to his team mate. Is that really true though? It's 8/4 to Hamilton and an 81-point gap so far this year. If anything I've been let down by Bottas so far in 2018. He's had a bit of bad luck for sure, but Lewis - especially in qualifyin...

Toby.

With the consensus being that the Ferrari is at least marginally the better car in 2018, my suspicions are beginning to be confirmed: in a tight race, Lewis Hamilton is the driver you'd bet on to deliver over Sebastian Vettel.

Toby.

Raikkonen fastest lap?

Toby.

Bottas not helping his reputation this race. He'll be glad he's signed that Mercedes contract already.

Toby.

Ricciardo and Gasly. Ricciardo for getting up to fourth (fifth was expected, so anything from there was a bonus) - plus all the good moves into T1. A lot of them I thought might end in a crash, but clearly Daniel Ricciardo is a better driver than I am. Gasly for coming sixth. While he finished the s...

Toby.

I believe Stroll spun in front of Ricciardo on his only chance of a good lap in Q2, hence being knocked out. Max looked unusually unconfident in the wet. Any talk on his baulking of Grosjean? That was Romain's fastest lap of the session until he caught Max at the last corner. Red Bull need a bit of ...

Toby.

Pretty simple question. Is it nationalist pride, or for their fiesty or calculated nature on track or in the garage? Perhaps a bit of both. What makes your preferred team and/or driver?
