Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco 2016

[_Springy_]

Who do you reckon Sauber will hold responsible for that one? Ericsson is the one who dive-bombed, but he was taking matters into his own hands, as Nasr was refusing to obey team orders. I agree with Brundle that it's a sackable offence for both of them but, of course, their sponsorship money is Sauber's lifeblood at the moment.

Felipe, let me through.

Sod that, I'll let myself through, thank you.

BONK!

 

[Nielsen]

Monaco is really teaching some rookie lessons today.

 

[Brend]

That was Kyviat levels of idiocy.

 

[IforceV8]

Team orders to Nasr who brings the money that keeps that POS on the track. Kaltenborn has some big balls.

 

[catamount39]

COME ON CHECO!

 

[twitcher]

I think Ricci just cooked his from tirea by flat spotting them at Rascas...I think he's blown his load

Couldn't care less about them disappearing from the grid, to be honest. What an uninteresting, and lifeless team.

I can't remember the last time I saw a driver miss a corner, then cut across the racing line to defend a position like that.

If we're talking strictly F1, then the claim is reasonable, if motorsport in general, then it pales in comparison to other stuff we've seen.

How is fewer teams on the grid a good thing??

Isn't that why Formula 4 here is so exciting?

I said "the dirtiest move we've seen in a long time", not "the dirtiest move we've ever seen".

 

[Samus]

Once again the totally not bias members of this thread with a lot less data to go on think they know better than the stewards.

 

[yabiggoose]

Will anything go right for Riccardo :/

 

[NW48]

I said "the dirtiest move we've seen in a long time", not "the dirtiest move we've ever seen".

I know, but I interpreted it as covering all forms of motorsport.

It's definitely not the dirtiest move in history.

 

[niky]

Wait, you guys expected Hamilton to get a penalty? You can't be serious...

They're still figuring out what new rule to invent to penalize him.

I was out when the move happened. I'm hoping for a replay, but if it's similar to Spain, I suspect the stewards figure the timing was too tight to justify a penalty.

 

[Yauma9]

Go Perez my boy! I hope the first two have to pit.

 

[twitcher]

From the onboard, Riccardo's front left looks garbage

Maybe he just backed off a couple laps to cook them off.

Never mind, he just locked the front left again...I think he's done unless Ham has massive deg issues

 

[Tak[TEC]]

Once again the totally not bias members of this thread with a lot less data to go on think they know better than the stewards.

Honestly if the roles were reversed I would still think that was an incredibly dirty and pretty desperate move

 

[Watchman]

20 more laps to go. Wondering what's going to happen in terms of pit strategy now.

 

[Grayfox]

Riccardo should pit and put on some ultras

 

[NW48]

If Hamilton and Ricciardo start to fade, Perez will be right there.

Rain expected 8 laps from the emd.

 

[twitcher]

BRING ON THE RAIN!!!!!

Problem is you're saying that just because it was Lewis Hamilton. You believe that using big paragraphs and fancy words can cover-up your bias, as we've seen time and time again. But really, you're only fooling yourself. Fact is that whilst it wasn't the cleanest move, the stewards have decided that Daniel wouldn't have made it past anyway. And they're in a far better position to judge, than you'll ever be.

 

[niky]

In the meantime, Alonso in fifth.

ALONSO IN FIFTH.

ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE UNIVERSE.

Shhhh! If we don't notice it, it won't be jinxed. It happens every time.

If F1 drivers got punished for going off the circuit as much as us couch racers get punished for it (5 sec time penalty with zero power), Ricci would be clear. Since this is real life and going off the track doesn't matter, your point stands....

 

[_Springy_]

Looks as if Ricciardo's tyres are buggered! This is Hamilton's race to lose, now.

 

[Tak[TEC]]

The rain could make this last 6-10 laps insane

 

[Demon Drone]

Whew!!
