[Fezzik]

Why is Sainz participating in quali if he’s starting from the back anyway?

showing off

 

[Fezzik]

oh Danny, it's just not working out.

Lewis seems to have the edge over George this weekend.

 

[NotThePrez]

I'm sorry, but it's so pathetic seeing Nico phoning in from his home to provide insight between sessions.

 

[PaMu1337]

it's so pathetic seeing Nico

Fixed that for you

 

[Fezzik]

ah, that's what Sainz is doing in Q3, there to give Charles a tow.

 

[Fezzik]

ah, that's what Sainz is doing in Q3, there to give Charles a tow.

and it works. Pole for Charles.

 

[PaMu1337]

Ferrari going for something tactical and not screwing it up?!

 

[Fezzik]

1 Leclerc
2 Verstappen
3 Perez
4 Hamilton
5 Norris
6 Russell
7 Alonso
8 Tsunoda
9 Sainz
10 Magnussen

Lewis did have the Merc edge.

 

[GroupB]

Ferrari going for something tactical and not screwing it up?!

And even this only came about because of unreliability at the previous race.

His holiday home in Ibiza not his home in Monaco

 

[PaMu1337]

31.6 degrees, quite hot

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Clean start.

Yuki nooooooooooooo!

 

[Famine]

31.6 degrees, quite hot

Nah, not hot at all. I went to Italy once and it was a billion degrees in the shade, but I survived by drinking a Capri Sun and sitting in a cave.

[/cross-thread humour]

 

[Jimlaad43]

Magnussen 20th to 13th

 

[PaMu1337]

Magnussen 20th to 13th

Meanwhile Sainz is struggling to get through

Charles and Max already driving away fast

 

[NotThePrez]

5-Sec penalty for Ocon.

 

[Jimlaad43]

So is Leclerc losing tyres faster than Max is?

 

[IforceV8]

I think he is saving them and managing the gap.

 

[Jimlaad43]

So when is the director going to show the overtakes that have happened in the midfield? There's been quite a few on the timing board changing.

 

[NICKname]

Verstappen must be absolutely tearing through those tyres trying to keep up.

 

[IforceV8]

Ferrari will get a better read of the tires once Carlos gets some clean air. He is running in the 1:40's vs LEC 1:39's

 

[Jimlaad43]

What has happened to Perez here, he's under threat from Russell now

 

[PaMu1337]

Verstappen must be absolutely tearing through those tyres trying to keep up.

Looks like he's backing off a bit now

 

[Grayfox]

Race is a bit of a snoozefest.

 

[IforceV8]

Expert commentator Nico might have been wrong about the low down force= low tire wear concept.

 

[NICKname]

Looks like he's backing off a bit now

He's three tenths slower now, looks like he's going over the cliff

 

[GroupB]

That Ted candy analogy was brutally long. Shut up!

 

[NotThePrez]

Leclerc into the tyres!

Safety car deployed.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Verstappen's grip advantage there was incredible to pass Norris like that.
