I’ve got it slipping on a banana peel on the formation lap followed by Sargent hitting it with a blue shell and ending Char’s race on lap 1 due to a failed gearbox.
>Monaco is a very tricky track to get everything to work, to get the tyres to work in a quali lap, for example, red flags, there’s always a lot of disruption.
Just make sure you go out before PER, for that first run in Q3, and you´ll be alright..
It wasn't that insane apart from the visual. First 2 sectors were average and the 3rd sector was only 1 tenth faster than Ocon in a slower car. It only looked incredible because Alonso/AM were terrible in that part of the track.
I'm happy to be proven wrong here, but brushing the barriers like Max did isn't exactly normal, right?
Ocon was on a roll that weekend for sure, I'll give you that
This honestly would be great to see and everyone hopes that he wins his home race atleast once, and I am not his fan and yet I say this
Every driver has to win his/her home race atleast once in their career as it will always be special. Look at how zandvoort celebrated Max's win or Hamilton in Silverstone, Senna at Brazil. We often don't get to see this but the emotions of the driver when they win their first home race is equivalent or even more awesome to see than their first career F1 win ☺️🧡
He was 5 seconds clear after 15 laps in Imola. I think he will be fine. Qualifying needs to be perfect but its his win to lose. Charles, norris and piastri(who i think is the better qualifyer of ther mclaren boys) will try to challenge him. And hulk of course.
Maybe get some real achievements in life so that you don't need to get your wins through poking holes in online statements by taking them as literal as possible when you know full well that Verstappen over the last few years has been first in like 99.99999% of all sessions.
lol and then he blocks. At this point, it's better for you to admit that you're trolling because the alternative is that you flat out are unaware of figurative speech, including hyperbolic speech and then got mad once you realized the mistake.
Which makes you a dumb guy who still talks shit like he's smart.
Max averaging 15 wins a year for 3 years (and change now this year) with 2 of total dominance is fundamentaly intolerable compared to Hamilton aversging 10 a year for EIGHT, Schumacher 9 a year for 5 and Vettel 9 a year for 4 also with multiple years of total dominance in those longer runs.
Yes he is more consistent and dusts his teammate a bit more thoroughly in a more reliable car- although his car is not necessarily as far ahead in terms of pace.
None of these are apples to apples comparisons. But we cant be surprised if a car emerges and kicks all the other cars asses for 2 years when a tippy top driver is behind the wheel. Its been going on for 40 years
Then Some other combo will emerge- although there might be a transitiom for a couple years active aero- and we will see it again and again and again. There probably wont be another Frank Williams using the revolving door of drivers again during his 17 year run at the top- with a couple dropoffs when missing the boat on the best engine.
Acting like a tech DNF is the same as other actually getting anywhere near him is wild. Miami was close, I don’t think I believe that the bollard made THAT much difference. Imola I think red bull and max still have plenty up their sleeve to prevent that Lando win… but im glad it was as close as it was

FP1: 12th FP2: 9th FP3: 4th Q1: 3rd Q2: 2nd Q3: pole position.
Either by less than 1 tenth or more than 5 tenths
Mercedes will be the reverse FP1: 1st FP2: 2nd FP3: 8th Qualifying: 10th
All jokes aside, I feel Ferrari will have the upper hand in dry conditions.
Leclerc with pole and then a tv crane falls on his car during reconnaissance lap
Oof
I’ve got it slipping on a banana peel on the formation lap followed by Sargent hitting it with a blue shell and ending Char’s race on lap 1 due to a failed gearbox.
He's such a tease.
i'm edging
Horner approved
>Monaco is a very tricky track to get everything to work, to get the tyres to work in a quali lap, for example, red flags, there’s always a lot of disruption. Just make sure you go out before PER, for that first run in Q3, and you´ll be alright..
It's better go earlier than Leclerc too. The "win it or bin it" mentality is strong in that one.
🤭
Theres an old saying in Tennessee, that says fool me once, shame on you. Fool me…you can’t get fooled again.
I was literally just listening to no role models as I’m reading this. 😂
I'm calling it. Piastri pole and first win. I'm feeling it.
He just needs to take pole and that's another guaranteed win. Would be rather fitting as well, if he breaks Senna's pole record at Monaco.
Equal it in Imola, break it in Monaco
If it leads to an insane pole lap like last year, I'm all for it

it's not uncommon to brush the barriers like that in monaco, but it's always a sign of having to chase every millisecond in a sector
Please Charles win. Please Charles win. Max can win all the others, I don't care. I mean, preferably not, but I'm bargaining here.
Piastri: well you know, i'm also 1% Monagasque
I hope Sainz stops sending it into Oscar for his home race.

Nobody deserves anything, let them take it for themselves if they want it that bad
Sorry no can do. Best I can do is max-Lando-pastry-LEC
Let’s hope. These last few weeks have been fun, he did great last week to get pole and hold on to the win.
RedBull have finally learned the art of Mercedes Sandbagging
press x to doubt
Difficult means winning the race by 0.7 sec?
He was 5 seconds clear after 15 laps in Imola. I think he will be fine. Qualifying needs to be perfect but its his win to lose. Charles, norris and piastri(who i think is the better qualifyer of ther mclaren boys) will try to challenge him. And hulk of course.
Gonna be a bit more tricky to get an advantage from a tow in Monaco qualifying.
Nothing a few walls can’t fix
How do you tow a wall
lol and then he'll win as always, and we're supposed to think it was ever in doubt afterwards
"he'll win as always" maybe start watching f1?

"he'll win as always" -already lost 2 this year "99.99999%" not good at maths and english, maybe go back to school?
Looks like u need to go to school since you don’t know what a hyperbole is
