Formula 1 Grand Prix De Monaco 2021Formula 1

How the hell did Mazepin manage a track limits warning at Monaco??

EDIT: Nvm, looks like he cut the chicane.

 

[Grayfox]

Wouldn't miss it if it was permanently removed from the calendar

I doubt it really meets the qualifications to be an F1 track.
It is only kept for Historic reasons.

If Monaco was never in F1 and wanted in, it would get told "NO"

 

[Samus]

If Monaco wanted in as a new track and submitted what we use today the FIA would ask for whatever drugs they've been smoking.

You're not wrong there.

Looks like Monaco is going into its ususal processional self. I don't think the 2022 regs will make it much better, but maybe they could bring at least something resembling excitement.

Doubtful. The cars haven't been suitable for this track since the late 60s and won't be next year. They're too fast and too big.

 

[Dennisch]

Monaco needs a different date on the calender. There has to be a higher chance of rain to make this an exciting race instead of this predictable parade.

If Lewis can't win a spot in 17 laps he is sick, or the track just sucks.

 

[PaMu1337]

Only Mazepin could manage a track limits warning on Monaco

Nevermind, Norris is also able to do it

 

[Skygrasper550]

Cars would still be too wide to do a proper overtake nearly anywhere

Cars would have to be shrunken down, probably to Formula E Gen.2 size. I mean, Formula E just had a race in the full Monaco layout, and I heard it was awesome.

Looks like they're cracking down on the chicane this year.

 

[Skygrasper550]

"No more mistakes, please." Lando's engineer said calmly.

 

[Mike-ZENKAI]

Fingers crossed the top can pass Mazepin without incident

(Actually everybody else as well with this pace)

 

[PaMu1337]

Damn Ricciardo, that must have been less than a millimeter

 

[Samus]

Cars would have to be shrunken down, probably to Formula E Gen.2 size. I mean, Formula E just had a race in the full Monaco layout, and I heard it was awesome.

Main reason FE managed to race here is their much lower speed and worse brakes/tyres, meaning longer braking zones, longer time on straights. Also the protective/less fragile bodywork that allows they to bump and barge a little bit without big consequences.

With F1 and their size, super effective brakes, fragile wings and grippy slick tyres there just isn't the opportunity. Even F2 is too good nowadays, it's usually driver differences that make the differences there.

You really want something like this.
The Cigar shaped F1 cars. which were much narrower.

 

[Dennisch]

Sainz will force Bottas into a mistake

 

[Grayfox]

Sainz will force Bottas into a mistake

Anyone can, well maybe Anyone except Mazepin as Mazepin will be the one making a mistake.

 

[PeterJB]

At any other track the top 8 matching each other's times would be scintillating.

 

[Samus]

They're all just waiting for a SC so that they can pit and not risk losing any places.

 

[Dennisch]

Bye Bye Bottas.

 

[PaMu1337]

Mick is falling back relative to Mazepin fast

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Oh no, Merc...

 

[Famine]

Commentary: Hamilton has to go long.
Hamilton: *pits earliest of anyone*

 

[BrainsBush]

WTF Bottas pit???

 

[NotThePrez]

Something going on with Mick? He just lost nearly 10 seconds to Mazepin in a very short amount of time.

Edit: Bottas has a gun fail!

 

[andrea]

ITS ALWAYS BOTTAS

 

[evldave333]

use a crowbar lol race destroyed for valteri wow

 

[Grayfox]

RIP BOTTAS

 

[MSZ]

He is out.

 

[PaMu1337]

Never seen anything like this happen before

Well they have to start somewhere to make the Monaco race interesting.

Really the only F1 cars that can have a proper race around here.


...And Bottas has another pit stop mishap. Good grief, he just can't catch a break......

 

[BrainsBush]

Or

 

[Famine]

Huh. Never expected a wheelnut made of cheese in F1.
