Mercedes: great engineers/driver/strategist/luck they are tough to beat .

After the race, when Lewis was being interviewed, he said he learned a lot about the Red Bull and Max's style from following for much of the race. Is he playing games with Max's head now?

Best race of the year coming up!

Maybe if it rains. Otherwise Monaco is a procession. Overtake through pit stops.

Some of the scenery can be nice, though :D

It's always been my favorite race of the year, no matter what. The walls, tunnels, buildings, can't go out of bounds there.

I love the Monaco race. The last several years we’ve been on vacation during the race which makes it challenging to find a place to watch it but some how I always have. Seems like Brits are the only others in the bar watching. In 2019 we were in France and took a train to Monaco to walk through course. It’s really amazing how fast they’re going in such a small town. Especially surprising was the speed coming into casino square and the chicane by the harbor. The chicane is inches from water! Of course we had to stop for a beer at rascasse :). One of these days I’ll start scheduling vacation around races.

I find the Monaco race to be pretty to watch but there is almost zero drama normally. Unless someone blows up the chicane coming out of the tunnel or tosses it into a wall, well anywhere. But qualifying is another thing. There is no more dramatic Q3 during the year as the top drivers are on such a fine line of 'fast or crash'. The videos of Senna doing qualifying pretty much one handed is absolutely epic.

Looks pretty cool.

Yahoo needs an editor.

According to the copy, McLaren sits tenth in the Constructors standings.

Cool livery, errors notwithstanding.

I've learned that on Yahoo, pretty much all the useful information that the author knows gets summed up in the title of the article. Nothing more (of any actual newsworthiness) can be gleaned by reading the article, itself.

I like it better than papaya and blue.

Mazepin has arrived in Monaco :D

Lol

According to the F1 pundits, the liveries are one-offs, but attractive to sponsors and spectators. A YT video covered the subject recently.

Captain, that's a good one. ;)

Free practice 2: top times by the Ferraris, with LeClerc slightly ahead. Times are close to qualifying a couple of years ago.
I'm stoked.

What? a procession, did you not watch the 2010 Monaco GP?

Did I watch it? Probably.
Do I remember it? Lord man, i have trouble remembering what I had for breakfast and that race was 11 years ago!
:D

Danny Ric really off the pace and Vettel faster than his teammate . But I seriously doubt anyone is showing all they have .
