Grand Prix De Monaco 2017 - Race

[fmatiasii]

Yes and Vettel is the faster driver. And Ferrari always favour the faster driver.

[bonzo]

So it was team orders at Ferrari today?

Any team order would have been broacasted, so no such thing

[Seb]

People keep asking Ferrari about the whole pit stop deal... get over it Sky!! It's so annoying

[Kristof_F40]

It can be a fix, but for me Seb did fantastic race and made the overcut work, and Kimi's stop did make sense it wasn't a stupid stop. Seb had more pace..

[Kristof_F40]

The thing is, upfront everyone (including sky) was saying we should swap them, now they are wining

[Red is Best]

Fantastic result, 1-2 never looked compromised, both cars where head and shoulders above the competition

[mardyrt]

"If team knowingly did that", did what exactly?

If the team boxed Kimi early, knowing that he would loose the lead.
With these tiers, overcut is the way to go most of the time, but I am not inside the team, just an observer, so this is why I am saying, if, and why I said, I dont know.

[JPBD]

Why is this only a problem when Ferrari do it? Bottas did the same thing, and admitted it, and it's fine? We all saw it coming! Now we're cranky? Omg I literally don't get it.

[IulianFerrari]

Kimi will have opportunities all across the year. Its important for him to stay out of trouble, and he will get the win and improve in the standings

[MJ]

if Kimi should've known that there would be a switch, i think he should've done it at the start no? i mean why should i do that effort in the 1st stint only to lose the position afterwards? to prove that he can do a better pace than Seb? but Seb eventually caught up with him and those 15.5 and 15.2 laps was the game changer methinks..

[Kristof_F40]

Christian Horner talking some sense I think

[JPBD]

Christian Horner talking some sense I think

Agree 100%

[Christopher]

The thing is, upfront everyone (including sky) was saying we should swap them, now they are wining

This and the only reason vettel for ahead was because he was faster if seb pit first he would have undercut kimi

[IulianFerrari]

Anything from Maurizio yet?

[Jax]

i don't know if i am sad or happy :/

[Seb]

This Ferrari team just screams passion, great to see after so many years of hurt

[Jax]

Here's something nice out of this gp - jenson and fernando's little chat :) https://youtu.be/0psPVFmnb_8

[IulianFerrari]

i don't know if i am sad or happy :/

Be happy Jax, Kimi will get the win on another day. Its a 1-2, a dream result. Maybe next race in a different order

[mwk360]

Seb was incredible, those low 1:15's won him the race. Ham had a very good race in terms of expectations

[Ed Harley]

i don't know if i am sad or happy :/

Think positively: 1-2 for the team, maximum points for SV and a good result for KR in his last Monaco race.

[Warp]

Any idea why Kimi was so slow in the last stint of the race?

[Kristof_F40]

This and the only reason vettel for ahead was because he was faster if seb pit first he would have undercut kimi

I think so too, Seb had more pace in the US left, Kimi's were "gone"
If Kimi could have done the times Seb and RIC were doing he wouldn't have asked to pit I think..
Also if it wasn't for BUT and Wehrlein (traffic), he would have been in front of Seb I think..

I think Kimi got a good strategy from the team, Seb didn't get an advantage with strategy, he just made it work better in my opinion

I would have loved to have seen Kimi win, but Seb was better and deserves it aswell, its better for the championship. I'm just happy it wasn't a repeat of Germany 2010

Whinging poms, enough said.

He knew overtaking was impossible today so probably he didn't care.

[theodorus8864]

All these debate of Kimi/ Vettel conspiracy start from one person: DAVID CROFT. Someone just needs to shut him from playing with people's minds.

[DelMar]

If the team boxed Kimi early, knowing that he would loose the lead.
With these tiers, overcut is the way to go most of the time, but I am not inside the team, just an observer, so this is why I am saying, if, and why I said, I dont know.

Why did Bottas and Verstappen pit before us then?
With the pace difference between Seb and Kimi, Seb would have gotten him whether he pits first or later...

[mwk360]

Toto is huge

[nuni]

Wow Crofty is a complete tool... does he not realize how big of a hypocrite he is given Bottas moved over twice for Hamilton in the same races a few races back??? What a bunch of idiots...

Exactly!

[Jax]

This the perfect start from kimi and seb https://youtu.be/yf0L1Jhn5aI
