If Hamilton genuinely thinks he can't make it to the end pitting earlier gives him an opportunity to attack slower cars on fresh tyres and puts him in a good position if the top 4 can't make it too the end.pokerman wrote:Hamilton not great with strategy, you pit, you lose

Re: 2018 Monaco Grand Prix Race Thread
Does Hamilton have an issue? His times are all over the place and he's in clean air isn't he? More than half a second a lap variance
Re: 2018 Monaco Grand Prix Race Thread
Vettel has an issue too by the sound of things

Re: 2018 Monaco Grand Prix Race Thread
hopefully now that Hamilton can see vettel he wont get any funny ideas of pitting
Re: 2018 Monaco Grand Prix Race Thread
Dan's tyres are looking better than Vettels, at least he has that going for him.

Mercedes won't let Hamilton pit surely. They have to tell him that it's unlikely he'll be passed on track.

I think Dan has got this if his power stays at this level. Team says that what he is doing seems to be working.

Re: 2018 Monaco Grand Prix Race Thread
Vettel really struggling with the front left it seems. He's losing half a second in Rascasse alone.
Re: 2018 Monaco Grand Prix Race Thread
I just hope Vettel doesn't try anything stupid at the end if he's very close.

Re: 2018 Monaco Grand Prix Race Thread
I don't think he will. He'll know that the 18 points is better than 0 and there are still 15 races to go after this.Ocon wrote:I just hope Vettel doesn't try anything stupid at the end if he's very close.

Re: 2018 Monaco Grand Prix Race Thread
I would normally be with you, as it would help Lewis but I would just hate for Dan to be taken out in this race. Anyway, I prefer Lewis wins the WDC on merit anyway, as we know he should.F1Tyrant wrote:I disagree for obvious reasons.Ocon wrote:I just hope Vettel doesn't try anything stupid at the end if he's very close.

Re: 2018 Monaco Grand Prix Race Thread
Is it 20 seconds to pit? Because Hamilton and Raikkonen are now touch and go to come out ahead of Ocon if so.
Re: 2018 Monaco Grand Prix Race Thread
Hamilton must just drive slow until the checkered flag and let Riccardo and vettel fight it out for the win if they wish

Will he? They were in different races before, they wouldn't be if Hamilton pitted again. It'd be touch and go to come out ahead of Gasly as well.F1_Ernie wrote:Like Ocon matters, he will let Hamilton through.JN23 wrote:Is it 20 seconds to pit?

I sense a Bottas Kimi incident.
Re: 2018 Monaco Grand Prix Race Thread
aaargh, I had to pop out for a bit. What happened to Alonso?
Re: 2018 Monaco Grand Prix Race Thread
Merc has missed the window and ham will now come out behind ocon. Problem is now gasly, hulk and ver are all putting in solid laps.
