Is this the "official" race discussion thread? I couldn't find anything on my instance so came here.
Great race start by the way. Should be a good one. Enjoy!
Max for the first time this season had to push to not get caught. Alonso and later Hamilton with the mediums had practically the same pace as him. It was a shame that Alonso didn’t had a new set of medium tyres and the issues with the rear brakes, he was faster than Hamilton when they had the same compound. The 33 is coming. 😎 Russell made a good comeback after the crash, having to retire the car was very harsh after all he did to get into the points again.
Brundle was honest - he noted how far ahead Max would be if the race was clean without incidents. So in pure race pace that would be at least 10s faster than the next two teams.
I'm all for Alonso this season with his stupendous performance, but Max and RB's package is still the package to beat. AM need to be smarter to beat RB and Merc later into the season. Sucks that Alo's strongest performance yet was hindered by a rear braking issue.
If you wanna see how fast Max is, just compare him vs Checo...
Alonso has to lift and coast, and de La Rosa in the Spanish broadcast hints that he has to save fuel due to the high race pace.
What happened to TSU? He pitted after the first lap?
predictions:
- At least 3 yellow flags
- Alonso gets mad at someone
- Ferrari amaze us with a strategy we’ve never seen before
- George gets upset with Lewis
- Lewis gets upset with George
Good race. Sucks for Russell to have to retire after that comeback. Albon did excellent.
Lmao Toto reenacting Alonso's steering in the pits
🟥 Red flag. Ocon stopped with some mechanical issue, told to stop the car by radio.
What's French for "clutch"? I don't know, and it appears Alpine don't either.
Classic Alpine

Lewis is keeping up with Max. Oh wait as I type this he lost a couple tenths. Still, great pace of the Merc.
It’s not a race weekend until there’s some Ferrari drama
FIA: It's raining
Drivers: It's not raining
2 minutes later: Track is flooding
Not a great weekend start for Gasly and Alpine. Car sounded awful.
Technical issues for Zhou, that was quick
Wonder what the issue is. Hopefully he can recover tomorrow...
monaco marshalls would have cleared the track in a couple of seconds by raising that car by hands
I look forward to McLaren raising my hopes, and then dashing them quite expertly.
What is this race direction? We're missing albon and Norris soft lap. Who is in charge this weekend? Seems worse than other weekends.
