Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco 2016

[Tak[TEC]]

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.

Honestly even with the move that Hamilton did, Red Bull actively gave him the race

David Hobbs is hilarious "He was singing for me in my room last night."

 

[NW48]

Well, RB sort of killed this race by screwing up Ricciardo.

 

[Demon Drone]

Toot little too late for the rain I think.

 

[Adam41]

Lewis at his best (aside from outbraking himself against Ricciardo). What a race.

 

[twitcher]

after all the crying that Rosberg had already won the championship, Hamiton is almost within one win of the championship lead with what, 15 rounds to go? People are hilarious.

What an incredible anti climax, typical Monaco. I'm going back to bed.

 

[Mike458]

Yep, Hamilton wins. OP-Softs much?

 

[GTFan24]

Dear Red Bull: You have 🤬 it up!!

 

[Vinylshark]

Alonso 5th, Button 9th
And fantastic race from Perez.

 

[Bram Turismo]

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

How are grid fillers a better thing?

We need new teams like HAAS. Teams with character, decent drivers, decent funds, and decent preparation.
Teams like Sauber add absolutely nothing to F1. At least Manor have character.

Rain was 10 minutes too late. Chucking it down now.

 

[Mike458]

@ the RB failed pit stop:

It was at this moment that Lewis Hamilton realized: He won the race

Lewis drove decently though, the bit when he passed Nico was very important.

Also Nico

A few red bull mechanics are no longer invited to the boat party.

 

[NW48]

But Alonso in 5th!!!!!!!!!!!!! Equal best finishing position.

And I think double points too. A good way to cap of their 50th anniversary in F1.

 

[FutureF1]

God I feel so bad for Ricciardo. He's the best driver on the grid and he keeps getting screwed over... Should have won today. Should have won in Spain. Let's hope he can win in Canada...

 

[Dotini]

Perez impresses once again.

 

[20832]

Alonso on P5, that's quite something!

 

[ShiftingGears]

Livid. Two race victories for Ricciardo that Red Bull have thrown away in a row.

 

[twitcher]

Haha yes Ricci, you tell them.

Ricci out out of the car is going to be the best part of this race

 

[_Springy_]

Hamilton FINALLY claims win forty-four! Rather fortunate with Red Bull's pit stop error, but he did well to make the ultra-softs last as long as he did.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Championship hotting up at least.

 

[niky]

Red Bull totally threw that race.

But all credit to Lewis... that was an amazing first stint on Wets, and an amazing second stint on Ultra Softs. He won most of that race on merit, questions of chops (which will be discussed ad nauseum after this) aside.

Chuffed for Perez in third, and Alonso in fifth is the most perfect ending to this race.

Oh... and Nico takes Nico for sixth on the very last lap. What a race.

I wonder if there is a Super Hard will they be softer than Hard?
A classic bridgestone hard would be nice.
Run the whole race on them.

 

[GTFan24]

Riccardo does NOT want any talk from RB

Yes. Remove the OP-Softs, add the superhards.

They'll be invited to a boat, then everyone will change boats while they stand around confused

 

[NW48]

Hey, that podium board wasn't assaulted by Hamilton this year.

Right because no team is allowed to fluctuate up and down the grid. Haas will never ever be in Sauber's position

What can they say?
They train pretty much every week and they screwed up.
