Poll: Monaco Grand Prix 2021, Monte Carlo - Race 5/23

[Danthus]

Which corner will Mazepin hit the barriers.

I’m going for the swimming pool complex.

 

[Stumble Bum]

Looking like Ferrari vs Red Bull at the moment, will be good to see Mercedes under pressure today in qually.

 

[Mr Jack]

Which corner will Mazepin hit the barriers.

To be fair to the creep, he's driving okay this weekend.

Latifi brings out the reds and some alarmingly casual marshalls.

 

[chrismscotland]

Mick in the wall for the second time this weekend; shame as he'd just gone 14th quickest; don't think he'll see qualifying now

 

[Mr Jack]

Bad weekend for Mick. The Haas boys will have a tough time getting that fixed for Quali.

 

[Danthus]

That will polish out. Honest.

 

[Kenai]

If they get that Haas sorted for qualifying, those mechanics deserve a hefty bonus

 

[Junglist]

Not Mick's finest hour this weekend.

Ferrari are looking very dangerous if they can hook it up in quali. I think Max will be leading the WDC after tomorrow. Mercedes and Hamilton look nowhere.

 

[Mr Jack]

Rain expected between now and Quali.

Bad weekend for Mick. The Haas boys will have a tough time getting that fixed for Quali.

If they've got a rear assembly ready to bolt on* they might make it, but it would be a change of gearbox anyway and a 5 place penalty, so not much point other than to check the car out and rebuild the confidence before the race.

The front won't be as easy to repair, and that's assuming he hasn't broken the suspension mounting points on the chassis.

* Which I doubt they do given their commitment to 2021 so far.

 

[this_is_gav]

Schumacher unsurprisingly out of qualifying according to Ted, but Williams are trying to get Latifi's car repaired.

 

[Feek]

Which corner will Hazaspin hit the barriers.

Most of them

 

[Flibster]

19°C Air temp
34°C Track temp
30% Chance of rain in this session

Alonso pit radio - Some time to gain. Mid corner turn 5, late entry turn 10

 

[Mr Jack]

Weird Quali with so many making multiple runs on the same tyre.

 

[Flibster]

Tsunoda pit radio - Any limitation? What do you need to go faster? Rear support or more rotation?

Tsunoda - Little bit of rotation in the slow speed corner.

Pit - Copy.

Latifi radio - I'm trapped because of the weighbridge. A car missed the weighbridge.

Weird Quali with so many making multiple runs on the same tyre.

Yeah, it's Monaco. To find the space you've got to remain on the track. They'll have fuelled them for the entire session, so just pull them into the garage for tyre changes, if that as well. Some will just do the entire session on a single set of tyres.

Hamilton lap time deleted - track limits turn 10

 

[Flibster]

Oh dear. Perez family bodyguard shot in attempted robbery at family home.

[Mr Jack]

Bloody hell, that's got to be distracting for Pērez.

Another weak showing from Alonso and Tsunoda. Yuki really isn't living up to expectations yet.

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

First week at Monaco, I'm willing to give Tsunoda some slack : D

 

[Flibster]

Sainz lap time deleted - track limits turn 10
