Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco 2016

[Samus]

There was a gap, Ricciardo just wasn't at the right angle to get into it since he was still coming from the left. But it was there.

The commentators nearly gave me a heart attack from the Virtual Safety Car

This thread is for the 2016 F1 Monaco Grand Prix. The interesting aside that has come about from it certainly merits its own thread, rather than burying it 3 pages into what will likely be a 20 page dissection of a racing incident that was clearly Hamilton's fault...

Well then.

There was a gap, Ricciardo just wasn't at the right angle to get into it since he was still coming from the left. But it was there.

When I initially watched the replay, it seemed as if Ricciardo was far enough alongside; and that Hamilton gave him a dirty chop. Going by that image however, he plainly wasn't. In fact by the looks of it, he wasn't really alongside at all. It was just very close. So I agree with the stewards decision, that it was a valid block by Hamilton.

Well then.

Who are the commentators for Channel 4 UK broadcast ?

 

[Small_Fryz]

drops of rain of the visor!!

 

[twitcher]

Zeus!!!!! Unleash the fury!!!!!

 

[Watchman]

Alonso has rain drops on his visor.

 

[Samus]

Who are the commentators for Channel 4 UK broadcast ?

David Coulthard and Ben Edwards.

 

[Mike458]

Hamilton's probably got this, if the rain doesn't come in faster.

 

[20832]

So, if it starts to rain heavier, who do y'all think will have the cojones to stay out on dry tyres?

Or of course Alonso is low-key crying because he's driving on P5 and possibly finishes on P5 in a Honda.

 

[NW48]

Yeah Hamilton has this unless the rain comes.

 

[twitcher]

Ricci's front left is completely finished

 

[niky]

Hamilton has managed to save the best of those tires for half a race?

Inconceivable!

 

[Samus]

So the question is, when are Pirelli actually going to make a truly soft tyre that wears but doesn't overheat? Because these "Ultra" soft are clearly anything but.

 

[Grayfox]

How soft are ultra softs?
They last way too long.

 

[GTFan24]

Is Hamilton seriously gonna win this with 1 stop?

 

[Tak[TEC]]

Maybe they are "Ultra Life Softs"

 

[Samus]

I always think one of these days a marshal at Monaco is going to wave a flag a little too far out and actually get it right onto a drivers helmet.

 

[Mike458]

OP-Softs would be the accurate name...

Random neck tattoo guy...cool, thanks for that

Perez always captures the opportunities when Hulkenberg can't, why is the Hulk so hyped for a top seat?

 

[GTFan24]

And Justin Bieber's in the race

Wasn't that Justin Bieber?

 

[sems4arsenal]

So you can go most of the race distance on a tyre that's called Ultra Soft.

Mercedes were very good with the strategy for Lewis, he just about deserved that but they got lucky no doubt, Red Bull gave them the race today.

I don't think he is or ever really has been actually in the F1 paddock.

 

[Grayfox]

And Justin Bieber's in the race

Worst part of the race is when they aimed the camera at it.

 

[twitcher]

And Justin Bieber's in the race

that was Beiber?

 

[GTFan24]

"These ultra softs wear out quick"Yeeahh sure

Yes @twitcher that was THE Bieber
