Not sure why Lewis seems to have mad a conscious effort to ostracise himself from all the other drivers.

He's never been best buddies with them but he seems incredibly aloof now.

Nice guys finish last.

WET Race. **** YEAH!

For 5 laps before they pack it all in, which is what usually seems to happen at any race where you might contemplate using something more than intermediate tyres.

I'll remind you of my post a few days back...

Senna was a bad guy then?

smr · 29 May 2016 at 12:11

As it's a wet track/race I've made 4 crazy winner bets

K-Mag
Button
Perez
Raikonnen

Not a great example given his ruthless nature, but I suppose he was at least a good guy off the track, though apparently Berger went a long way to bring Senna's human side out.

yeah off track is what i'm referring to. I wouldn't say lewis isn't a nice guy anyway - maybe a bit anti-social when it comes to mingling with the other drivers. In Spain (iirc) he jumped off the parade truck about 50m before it stopped!

That rain basically confirms a SC start.

Psycho Ned · 29 May 2016 at 12:31

I'd normally be well pumped up for a wet Monaco as this is about the only scenario where this race isn't a dull procession.

Sadly F1 in 2016 if they're going out with wets on we aint seeing any racing laps for a while might as well call them the SC tyre.

CaptainRAVE · 29 May 2016 at 12:33

Please please please let them race. They have wets for a reason.

muon · 29 May 2016 at 12:35

The rain isn't that bad is it? It's a low speed track as well.

Glaucus · 29 May 2016 at 12:35

I hope they race I have to leave the house asap, but I like Monaco, and wet Monaco is even better.

Skeeter · 29 May 2016 at 12:36

My issue is the round and round and round they do wasting laps behind the SC. If its not dry enough to race, don't race. Red flag it and wait. Don't rob us of laps.

muon · 29 May 2016 at 12:37

I hope they don't let the Haas car start on intermediates though. Not going to end well.

Skeeter · 29 May 2016 at 12:38

"I may well have to" sounds like Charlie has already decided to ruin everything.

smr · 29 May 2016 at 12:40

An SC start would kinda dampen things a bit

Mehhhh

It isn't a track surface - it is slippery and drains poorly. Should be fine once they have started, but the start could be a mess.

smr · 29 May 2016 at 12:40

Maybe that GOT dude can get thewoman he knows to bring some of the cars back to life if they crash out.

Concrete · 29 May 2016 at 12:41

If they do a normal start, Lewis will get taken out on the first corner from behind.

Locky? Is that you?
