Plus in 2005 when he hit a marshal through Massanet... PDVSA basically paid Monaco loads of money to even let him back in the country after that.

You got a source, or is that part of the "banned for life" rumour that Autosport reported but later retracted?

It's both a rumour, and I've been shown the incident at a Marshal's training day. Put it this way, you don't really want a source for the video.
 
Kind of a bad track map, here's a better one.

Great run from Verstappen to be second in FP1... but an ever bigger shock was Ricciardo in third :D

I hope that was not Prost I was just looking at. :odd: He has not aged well at all.
 
Both youngsters seem pretty fast, also it needs to be said that this is the first time ever Verstappen is driving here. But I don't think most of the "old" ones took a lot of risk in this session, so it's hard to say what those times are worth. They should get a confidence boost for this track at least.
 
Tbh i think this might be the first STR pairing where both are main team material, it will be interesting if it keeps developing this way.
 
Looked really impressive lap by Lewis on his current fastest time, so committed.
 
Merhi brings out the reds as he has the famous out-of-the-tunnel bobble-on.

EDIT: And while the teams wait for green... it starts to rain.

I love the radio chat between Lewis and his engineer in FP1;

Lewis: How was my Turn 1?

Engineer: I cannot comment on that.

Lewis: How's the weather?

Engineer: It's nice.

Coded messages, I guess. :lol:
 
Jenny-lynn Palmer (or whatever she's called) is properly hard work as the Sky Commentary Team's Expert Guest. Even less to say out of the car than in.

EDIT: Very little wet (or inter) running, a few cars out at the end but mostly a quiet FP2.

Great time for Ricciardo in FP1.

Also the F1 website has changed again. It's a real POS right now.

Ah, see now, people may complain that the race is "boring" and too much of a parade...and while it may be guilty of that, I still see the excitement of them simply driving around the track. I still find it insane they race here. I find the drama of the races here a bit more exciting than the actual rare overtakes we get to see. Everything leading up to it is kind of part of the whole entertainment. Qualifying really feels like it means something here.

Perhaps I try too hard to find positives in this race. Besides Monza and COTA, Monaco is one of my favorite races of the year.
 
I'm not excited about the race as I used to be. I am going to attend the event no doubt. I wanted to go 2 years ago but, maybe next year or 2017.

I do love Monaco but it's not for the race itself, the session I like the most in monaco is Qualifying. Nothing beat a clean qualifying session in Monaco for me. Especially when drivers I like perform good. Those inside view cam :bowdown:

Nice little initiative Manor with these Bianchi wristbands;

Sadly for Jules, it doesnt seems to go in the good way for him. I really hope for a miracle for both him and Schumi. Head injuries are the worst really.

Not sure why :)

Also, are you aware that your username appears above your posts? No need to leave all those clear lines and sign it again ;)

On the subject of Michael Schumacher, he is still the most recent Ferrari driver to have won the Monaco GP, all the way back in 2001.

So it seems a little dense...I was unsure if you were aware of it.

The survey is already in a dedicated thread, but thank you.

As to Verstappen's indicator, I can find you a BBC F1 email if you're really interested in their choice.error? Not my fault :D

Not defending Maldonado (a job that nobody would take on) but, after reading up on it, Maldonado and the driver following him said no flags were shown as they approached the accident zone. Is there a source for the inquiry?

Lewis is on point this weekend. Even last weekend with his bad setup and bogus start issue he still could fight for a win barring strategy. This is looking good for him so far this weekend. Hopefully Kimi can get up there too.
 
So, McLaren-Honda has never been beaten on the streets of Monaco, and the only Engine-Team partnership at that, according to the F1 Show. Nice feat that will unfortunately, barring an absolute miracle, come to an end this year. :(
 
Raikkonen in the barrier... ouch, looked hard.

Marshall's flags have gone red in sympathy.

EDIT: Didn't look such a hard slap on the replay, on the power and rear left into the wall on the exit of St. Devote.
