2015 Grand Prix de Monaco - All Results in OP

[Bram Turismo]

I just tuned in.

Why am I not surprised Maldonado is already out?

Sainz jnr. must be slightly emarassed to be outclassed by such large margin by a 16 year old in every race.

The car had braking problems after just 3 laps. You can't blame Pastor for that.

Isn't Verstappen 17?

But he isn't, Sainz Outqualified Verstappen here but had to start in the pitlane because of missing the weigh bridge.

In the last race he also Outqualified and outraced Verstappen as well.

 

[ZEROX]

40 laps in and still no sign of safety car or even a wall-hitting experience?

This is...something.

 

[NW48]

Alonso is out. Mechanical issue. Seems like a carbon copy of yesterday in Qualy.

 

[andrea]

McLaren entertainment continues.

 

[mustafur]

Re-fueling really would liven up this race a bit, a midfielder on low fuel up front multiple stops would be required.

Well Maldonado got out in the first laps.

Poor Alonso, yet he's out and is still ahead of the Marussias. EDIT: Not anymore.

 

[NW48]

Just to follow up; Alonso was told to turn his engine off after Alonso reported a gearbox issue.

Yesterday's failure was an MGU.

Well, Maldonado is out

damn, tree'd

 

[MHPALA]

How many times will the Marussia cars be lapped?

Verstappen's getting good press because of his age although, as somebody wiser than me has already said, if you're good enough you're old enough. That's all rather to the detriment of Sainz who has also turned out to be a star rookie (imo).

Carmen Jorda Watch Update: 48 laps and she hasn't appeared on screen. This is definitely a record.

The most exciting part of the race so far

Merhi complaining about being shown blue flags too early. Given that he didn't qualify (as far as I'm aware) he should probably wind his neck in.

That and McLaren are why I'm staying up so far.

Once Button is out, I'll probably head off. Getting a bit tired.

She probably won't appear at all because the world feed is not done by FOM, a local TV station runs the feed. I enjoy that there are no focus on pit lane reactions and fan pan ins, just focus on the racing.

 

[NW48]

Kimi swearing on the radio again.

 

[20832]

And Raikönnens mad

 

[andrea]

Didn't think they played bleeped radio messages on air.

Sneaky Verstappen.

Perhaps they should be hired to cover all the races then. It's unusual to spend so much time looking at races cars on the race track.

 

[Pezzarinho17]

Nice work by Verstappen to pass Bottas!

 

[NW48]

Verstappen has a good strategy going. Stay with Vettel and use the Blue flags to his advantage.

Still no Safety Car. It would spice things up a lot.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Didn't think they played bleeped radio messages on air.

Sneaky Verstappen.

They didn't previously but then drivers/teams were deliberately swearing so that their transmissions wouldn't be played. Now the messages are bleeped they've gone back to ze codes.

Still think this from FP1 on Thursday is a contender for best coded message;

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.

Clever clever block from Grosjean

 

[mustafur]

Outsmarted by grosjean lol.

 

[andrea]

Verstappen is a brilliant driver, anyone who still denies this after this race is just being silly.

 

[RacingLine]

Clever clever block from Grosjean

Looking forward to a replay of that 👍

 

[NW48]

I've said it before and I'll say it again; Verstappen has proved me wrong like no one has ever before.
