Oh my god that was dangerous from Ocon, Gasly is absolutely right to be pissed.

Ocon literally did what he did to Perez back at Force India - overtake stupidly and leave no room for his teammate.

I am fairly sure this is the worst race I have ever seen. Might as well have called it 80 formation laps. Jesus.

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I think I counted like 5 overtakes that did not involve a crashed car. Ridiculous really. Last week at least there was some hope that one could pull a move. No such hope here

[โ€“] MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

5 is pretty high for Monaco. I'm sure there have been years with zero on track overtakes before.

Haas and Alpines taking each other out. Typical Sunday.

Haas was a stupid move by Magnussen, he shouldn't have been there, Nico got caught in it. Ocon, what was he trying to do?

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Leclerc says he'll bring the car home, proceeds to drive directly to his apartment parking garage.

[โ€“] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh look an overtake.....I have seen enough...Bottas DOTD

Checo should do a Kimi and go straight onto a yacht to his family lol

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Going by past evidence, it is more likely that he will go to a yacht with people who are not his family \s

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Holy shit Perez's car. Thankfully he's out of the car.

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago

Wow overtakes(plural)แ••(แ›)แ•—

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ah classic, Alpines bonking into each other. Huge lift off the ground.

[โ€“] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The video editor's gonna have a hard time extending the race highlights over a minute

Haha the F1TV commentary just mentioned the exact same thing.

[โ€“] WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

They're just gonna do 5 mins of lap 1 replays lol

Wow crazy management going on. This seems that it could be pretty dull.

[โ€“] PPQ@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

As is tradition! This race needs to go, I get the tradition behind the race, but the cars are just too damn fast and large for this track anymore.

Everyone is trying to go slower than the next driver, that's not racing!

Finally a pass on track! Bottas just got ahead of Sargeant.

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

An overtake? THAT COUNTS FOR THE STATISTICS

[โ€“] 4am@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Oh my god now the Alpines! Monaco 70 is quite a mess this far

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

"Of the four of you, you are the best" - now there's some motivation for you, Piastri.

[โ€“] narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Red flag should be pretty good for the race leaders who started on mediums as they can slap on a set of hards now and likely go to the end of the race on them. Not so good for the Mercedes and Max behind starting on the hards, as they'll have to either stop for mediums later or stick on mediums now but these will likely not last until the end of the race.

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Tsunoda and Albon in 8th and 9th just got lapped by Russell and Verstappen in 5th and 6th..

[โ€“] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And now Zhou and Sargeant have been lapped twice, I have not seen this in a long time.

It has been a crazy race.

First points for Williams, great job Albono.

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Leclerc's engineer kinda made it sound like Sainz was the cause of the red flag.

Leclerc: Is everyone ok?

Engineer: Everyone is fine. Sainz had a puncture.

Yay Red Bull floor pics

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

At last some thing has happened with stroll pitting

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

He's finally done it! Well done Leclerc.

Quite surprised to see Russell hold off Verstappen until the end.

Russell taking it super slow with the medium tire. Guess the plan's to take it till the end.

[โ€“] reddwarf@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Very happy for Charles!

But something needs to happen to this race. As it is now it is a Saturday race with qualifying, the race on Sunday is negligible, boring even.

[โ€“] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They need to spray the track with water at a random time to give us wet racing ๐Ÿคช

[โ€“] reddwarf@feddit.nl 5 points 1 year ago

Well, this is an old school track so how about we honor the old school 'adventures' that made racing so dangerous and exciting?

  1. The water spraying at unknown intervals as you mentioned
  2. Force all the drivers to drink a pint of whiskey and smoke a cigar before they are allowed to enter their cars
  3. Make the guardrails out of bails of hay
  4. Make sure that the runoff areas are running off into the harbour
  5. Mandatory faulty wheel nut, you just do not know which of the four it will be
  6. Helmets made from leather
  7. No visors allowed, just a ray-ban clubmasters

Perhaps if we introduce these rules the race will become more entertaining?

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

The cars are too fucking reliable to give an interesting Monaco race. The fact that there was a 1st lap red flag further diminished any hope of excitement.

Perez out of the GP

[โ€“] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Damn it, a safety car was so close

Can't wait for the replay.

It kinda looks like a racing incident since the track is narrow or it's on both Checo and KMag

[โ€“] urquell@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Will be interesting to see if max can go forward somewhat

Sargeant seems to be dropping like a stone: he has been passed by Botas and Stroll, now Zhou is right in his gearbox...

[โ€“] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Name a better love story than Ocon and penalties
