Grand Prix de Monaco 2017Formula 1

[Dennisch]

I'm gonna pee in your seat.

 

[Bram Turismo]

How cool was that call from Fernando 👍

 

[Robin]

Direct line to Alonso in the Honda!

 

[PsuPepperoni]

Kimi is gone!

 

[NW48]

Pretty uneventful and clean first lap by Monaco standards.

Yeah, worrys me that it's going to be a prosession for the rest of the race.

 

[BrainsBush]

Wow that was almost the end of Button thanks to Wehrlein

 

[Vinylshark]

Wow that was almost the end of Button thanks to Sauber

There we go.

A lot of Americans who don't watch F1 tune into this race so half the American commentary is explaining obvious things to the noobs.

Such as?

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Looks like Renault will get no points this race, can't expect Palmer to make it up

 

[Dennisch]

Such as?

"the red cars are the Ferraris"

 

[Famine]

Perhaps they're going to explain how anyone is supposed to overtake here when the cars are now 52% the width of the track.

 

[Vinylshark]

I'll probably never understand why people celebrate/hype this race so much.

It's because of the glamour of the place more than the quality of the racing.

Not so on the s/f straight or exiting the tunnel, the places where overtaking used to happen in the old days. In 2017 it seems the cars may as well be 90% of the track width.

 

[Dennisch]

I walked away from the tv and the gaps shrunk?

Re: T wing. What looks right is right and they don't look right.

They took forever giving Button the blue flag so Bottas caught up.

 

[BrainsBush]

that 0,8 secs extra in the pit box for Max

 

[Robin]

Perez - "Who cares if the engine blows up!"

 

[Spurgy 777]

Brundle and Crofty oblivious to Perez getting past Stroll.

 

[Dennisch]

Ricciardo did very well with his pitstop. And Vettel too!

Aaand 2 bleeps when Max found out.

 

[Touring Mars]

It's far more a 'man against the track' type of race... as we are seeing right now, it's all about strategy and doing fast laps when you get the chance...

Vettel is putting in some monster laps here that could just win him this race without having to literally drive over Kimi's car.

 

[Grayfox]

Poor Max.

 

[NW48]

Aww poor Verstappen is a little bit cranky he didn't get the better strategy

 

[PsuPepperoni]

Such as?

'DRS is now enabled, that means they can open the wing for less drag'

'teams are required to use at least two different tire compounds'

 

[Dennisch]

Yeah. We need a safety car now.

One for the race, and 2 to screw up Hamiltons weekend even more.

 

[Grayfox]

Aww poor Verstappen doesn't like not getting the benefit of strategy for a change...

Maybe it is Rickie-R-Does Curse?

 

[Spurgy 777]

Brundle and Crofty are now trying to push the idea that Ferrari purposely swapped Vettel and Raikkonen, wish there was a way to mute them
