Ricciardo is gone ...

Riccy is schooling them at the moment.

Good news for Ricciardo at least!

Random rain musings number 2... Caterpillar tracks that mount between the front and rear wheels for wet conditions.

Red Bull running away with this race, Rosberg holding up everyone behind him.

No Rosberg is just a road block, better to let a Red Bull win rather than Hamilton

Go on Rosberg and the train

Ferrari blink first with Inters

Sevenfest · Post by **Sevenfest** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:27 pm

Just let Lewis come in first. He can handle it - Rosberg is a road block

dizlexik · Post by **dizlexik** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:27 pm

Vettel risky..

F1_Ernie · Post by **F1_Ernie** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:27 pm

Merc should call in Hamilton first, clearly the quicker driver and better for the race win.

HS Thompson · Post by **HS Thompson** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:27 pm

Rosberg just has no speed at all.

Its not up to Nico To look after Lewis' race.

Rosberg has already cost the team the win.

Do Mercedes want to win the race?

You are very frustrated

It's Monaco, if Rosberg is that slow, Hamilton should overtake him.

Go on Dani!

Have Merc got any interest in winning races?

Not yet but they will if they put Rosberg first even the Force India is keeping up

Rosberg using a good strategy here.

Well done Merc. Couple of laps too late but at least they did it.

SDLRob · Post by **SDLRob** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:30 pm

Lewis ahead now.... Mercedes finally woke up and made the switch. Now we have a race

sparky · Post by **sparky** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:30 pm

Rosberg just let Hammy past.

neek · Post by **neek** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:30 pm

Jesus, not a bad move from Merc - a big pace difference which is visible already

Oh they do want to win the race, better late than never I suppose

Surprised Rosberg complied with that instruction... Hamilton wouldn't have.

HS Thompson · Post by **HS Thompson** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:31 pm

Hamilton overcomes the massive disadvantage of his team and track and carves up Rosberg.

Didnt see that coming.

Blackhander · Post by **Blackhander** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:31 pm

Rain musings number 3... Exhaust outlets shall now be placed directly in front of the rear tyres and directed straight down for track drying purposes.

Sevenfest · Post by **Sevenfest** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:31 pm

That distance back to Rosberg!

mikeyg123 · Post by **mikeyg123** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:32 pm

Kudos on Rosberg for letting Hamilton through. Why is he so slow?

sparky · Post by **sparky** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:32 pm

Rosberg has problems.

pokerman · Post by **pokerman** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:32 pm

Hamilton 5 seconds quicker than Rosberg
