Poll: Monaco Grand Prix 2018, Monte Carlo - Race 6/21

[Flibster]

Ricciardo still faster than Hamilton.

 

[Flibster]

Bottas now 1.9s behind Raikkonen. 1.3s/lap faster.
But Raikkonen is stuck behind Hamitlon.

 

[muon]

Monaco is a joke if you can win with 200hp less.

Not sure why the teams risked Ultras though. No need in Monaco.

if this was a good track like monza vettel would take him for lunch

Even if it was a dreadful track like Silverstone, he'd be past. It's just because it's Monaco.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton now back in the low 1:18's... Graining gone?

 

[Jono8]

Fortunately for Ric, of all the tracks to have that issue, Monaco is the best.

 

[Housey]

Big bunch at the end of the race I suspect

 

[cu3ed]

Givien the tyre differences in time. Ricardo's power difference. F1 is in more dire straights than I thought of we still can't get over takes on this laughably bad track.

This is shaping up for the top 5 to be all together, but just following for 40 laps

It's the track. There's 2 real overtaking places and a couple of places to be brave as hell to try. It's narrow, bumpy and solid barriers everywhere.

 

[Flibster]

Stroll back in the pits with another puncture.

 

[muon]

Hypersofts for Stroll? Pitting again then.

 

[Flibster]

Gasly still lapping on his original Hyper soft tyres. Seem to be a better tyre than the ultra softs.

Now pits - 41 laps total on the hyper softs. Switches to new super softs.

 

[MooMoo444]

Hamilton saying his front left is gonna be bald, and hes still got 35 laps or so to do. It's looking like a 2 stop race for sure.

 

[UTmaniac]

Lewis should try pitting for supers, will fall in behind Gasly, who is yet to stop?

Edit: And Gasly finally pits before Lewis comes in. So Lewis would fall in behind Bottas.

In front of Hulkenberg who is 29s behind Bottas.

 

[Flibster]

Stroll - 1:15.478

Well they are still trying to make the tyres last. So risky for LH. Front 5 running way slower than they should.

 

[Flibster]

Hulkenberg gaining a second a lap on the top 5.
So if they need to pit again, they need to do it sooner rather than later.

Hulkenberg is only 34s off the lead and gaining over a second a lap on Ricciardo at the moment.
