Poll: Official 2024 Monaco Grand Prix Race Thread - Circuit de Monaco - Race 8/24

[Mesai]

I was referencing his comment about his race, which is always boring...

Probably significantly less boring when you’re winning.

Hold up, this is a race?

Thought this was just the yearly procession, hasn't been a proper race in Monaco in yearsssss

It’s been a farce for a long time, but I just don’t remember seeing this little effort before. Thanks tyre saving.

Sainz radio - Has there been any overtaking?

Pit - Negative. No overtaking.

Sainz has raced here before right?

 

[Stu999]

They should put a McD’s drive thru halfway round and the drivers can choose whether to stop for a snack on the way.

Wasnt Danny rics win in monaco a few years ago, exactly like this?

 

[Mr Jack]

Think Russell had the right idea. They should have focused on creating a pitstop window to Tsunoda rather than on trying an improbable nursing of the Mediums to the end.

 

[Kelt]

Some say... this isn't a race, it's iconic

It's that borin iconic, I've switched over to the footie!

Pretty much most wins have been like this in the modern era.

Remember few years back Hamilton won on tyres that had no rubber left for best part of half the race, cause no one can get passed lol

I honestly don’t remember. My mind files most Monaco races into a waste bin.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Swear the commentators talk about pitting for new tyres and trying to overtake someone on fresh rubber every year. Unless the guy in fronts wheels fall off that strategy is suicide track position is king here!

That was an MGU-K failure, Hamilton in 2019 did it on utterly shagged tyres

Therefore boring is a relative term, as we all already knew, and a lot of the races are boring for me when there is little to no chance of anyone else winning a race or even getting close. Thank goodness McLaren seem to be catching up now.

He kept 2nd place behind while 160hp down… Which is why they are all driving like granny’s. Because they can and they know it’s impossible to overtake/track position is king.

 

[Flibster]

Piastri radio - I feel like that strategy from Ferrari to try and catch us out with Carlos, because I don't really get why they'd want to keep Russell in the window.

Pit - The medium of Sainz was damaged on lap 1, so he does not have a medium, only this hard and some softs. We think they want to avoid Lando trying anything.

I'm not even paying attention to it anymore just on in the background. British GT under Full Course Yellow and thats more exciting...

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Any reason to not pit Hamilton at the moment ? Wouldn't lose position

 

[UTmaniac]

How are Alonso and Daniel over a minute down at this Sunday drive pace?

 

[Journey]

Formula-E race was much better and has been since they started doing the full track.

 

[Flibster]

Alonso pit radio - OK, Fernando, so the top four are 17 seconds behind you, so Leclerc is 17 seconds behind and they're all together within five seconds.

Chinese commentary team on Tencent sport are talking about falling asleep at races here. Far less nonsense here.
