'Cos you can't pass at Monaco? Track position trumps fresher tyres here. A car down 160 horsepower can't be passed by one of the fastest cars on the grid for 50 laps. Monaco isn't worthy of being a modern F1 track, but it's a vanity track where the rich and famous schmooze.

They wont be showing any in future they didn't renew deal 2019 it's Sly exclusive
Not 100% true if you have fresh tires compared to old you will get better drive of the corners giving you better option to over take which is still very difficult but not impossible and Sebs tires was shot which is why he couldn't push had he had new hyper ones on he would have gone past him.
It is a joke of a track and the only races that have been good was when it rained many years ago which now they wouldn't even let them go out if it was like that.
Strange to not see a proper safety car the amount of times they have used it for much less then we saw today

He did well, yes. But I'm not sure that's really driver of the day material!

A cracking result for Hamilton. Weakest track for Mercedes, finished 3rd. What has seemed like a poor start for Mercedes sees them well ahead of where they were this time last year.
Soldato
I thought yesterday, C4 only get a few race weekends to show live, why on earth would they choose Monaco when everyone knows it's a horrendous track!
Caporegime
Yeah, well ahead. It's an interesting comparison actually, same five drivers in the top five but only three of the same teams. Last year, Force India and Toro Rosso were doing well; this year it's Renault and McLaren.
That was 5 mins too long for highlights
Have to say I disagree.
New bodywork is helping them overtake, its much easier to pass the guy in front of you when he is spinning towards a wall
Soldato
Gonna get a 5-6 lap shootout for the win here.
Crazy loose these cars are on the rear this year.
This is going to end in a crash after the restart almost certainly

If Wilson wins this then what a story.
Shame had to pit for fuel.

Wilson was in the seat Alonso had last year incidentally.

Well done to Ricciardo. A well earned win. But it was a boring race.
well i missed the race live and i do not know why i watched the whole recording. Monaco is boring but that was boring for Monaco.
They where biging up Riccis win but was it that impressive? he clearly had pace in hand at the end and its Monaco, you can be 5 seconds a lap faster and not be able to pass.
