I think no more stops. Hamilton would be much quicker if he planned to stop.

Re: 2016 Monaco GP race thread

Be interesting to find out exactly what was wrong with Rosbergs's brakes that coincidentally cleared up when it dried.

Re: 2016 Monaco GP race thread

Has a leader EVER given up the lead because he cut a chicane/corner? Ever? Is that relevant? Not enforcing a rule because it hasn't applied before is asinine. It ought to tell you something if a single driver has never had the lead taken away from them due to cutting a chicane. It REALLY should tel...

To be fair Nasr and Ericsson are keeping the team afloat. Why should they listen to the team. They're paying for the operation.

Re: 2016 Monaco GP race thread

Hamilton should have given the position back after skipping the chicane but I think the block was far kinder than Rosberg's two weeks ago.

Re: 2016 Monaco GP Qualifying Thread

Can't really say Nico and Lewis was in Q3 in equal conditions.

In Q3 Mercedes would of been better sending Hamilton out with everyone else on there s...

I hope it's wet start that dry's in about 25/30 laps followed by a shower around the lap 60 mark. Ideal. I hope it's dry enough for a standing start and not raining so there's no will they/won't they aspect to the race.

By that time everyone would close up to him. He pits and comes out where? You're assuming there's no traffic. If Mercedes stop jus...
