I guess that is fine, as long as cars haven't been penalised previously for putting any part of their tyre on the yellow line.

They mention Tsunoda in 2021 in the document. I think Grosjean in 2019 in Monaco as well.
The race directors notes say they must stay to the right of the line. But, well, that's not what's in the sporting code....

The race director has been undermined by the stewards here. So much for the Race Director being king of the track in Abu Dhabi last year. And yet everyone else managed to stay to the right, but hey... it's not in the ISC...
 
Reading that, they’ve agreed that the race directors notes were invalid because someone “cut and paste” them?

This race was garbage from the start. From delaying the start so they could avoid the race to the nonsense rulings and Alonso playing silly buggers.

Not one to rewatch, that’s for certain.

Trouble is, Lewis has genuinely had absolutely appealing luck. That is the reality.

Lewis would likely have 6 out of 7 the other way if he had the rub of the green.

I dont know what Merc were thinking with his strategy today. Put him on inters just to get stuck behind Ocon a few seconds up the road. Bananas. Then Ocon damages his car. Also have no idea what Alonso was doing. Has that been explained?

Almost as bad as how much Ferrari screwed over Leclerc.

Yea Hamilton has had lots of bad luck

The Alonso, Hamilton, Ocon thing was a bit pathetic and petulant I think.

I have no doubt in my mind that Alonso did it to make some kind of point. Then when Alpine turned their brains on they released that it meant Ocon finished out of the points. I think then Hamilton purposefully dropped 4+ seconds off Alonso to punish Alpine and Ocon and force him to finish out of the points.

Amusing, but a bit immature/childish all round.

They just waited too long then double stacked badly. Sounded like there was massive indecision with what they were doing.

Yea just curious as to what made them call out then back like that.
Also, why are race TV director so lacking in imagination. I would love to see a full lap from the fastest timed driver during red flags etc, instead of parked cars.

Alonso, 100%

Hamilton… I’m not convinced he dropped those 4s to spite Ocon. It looked to me like he’d given up after dropping 30s behind someone clearly taking the ****, then realised that he literally had no hope of passing Alonso once he actually sped up.

This is one of the issues F1 has with Monaco, and why they're thinking of canning it. Unlike the rest of the Grands Prix, Monaco get to use their own local TV station director, who is ****.
There are loads more, like TAG having massive advertising hoardings everywhere even though they're not the official F1 sponsor (Rolex). I can't remember where I read the article though. Might have been this one: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/factors-that-will-decide-monaco-fate/10312979/

Just watching the last part. This is an embarrassment to F1 that Alonso can go so slow. God this track is gash.

Perhaps Alonso hates it too and made a point of demonstrating how poor a race track it is for a modern F1 car. ;)

Sounds like the FIA still haven't got a scooby doo on how to have sporting rules and implement them consistently. But at least Masi has gone. ;)

Masi couldn't either so the winky face doesn't really work. ....;)
 
I gave it a 6, I'd have given it a 7 if not for the farcical dithering over the start. Not a classic, but interesting tactically right to the end.

Dire from Ferrari, completely stuffed Leclerc today. They had an easy victory and probable 1-2 and botched it.

Nice to see Peréz win, and another good result for Russell. Leclerc needs to turn things around soon or Max is going to edge away from him.

As to the pit line thing, seems like common sense prevailed.

I know it’s a long season but this could have been the point Leclerc really got a handle on it. Win Monaco, banish that demon, and go on with lots of confidence. Now he’ll be questioning the team in the back of his mind, still maybe questioning the reliability. I dunno. I’m a massive pessimist but fear they’re going to really start making more and more mistakes and hand it to RB.

Save me watching this awful race and its highlights... what did Alonso do?

Drive really, really slowly to keep Hamilton behind him resulting in keeping Ocon from gapping the drivers behind him (Ocon was behind Hamilton) so the 5s drop Ocon got for hitting Hamilton earlier in the race dropped Ocon out of the points.

Also gave Norris space to pit and take the FL.
