2018 Monaco Grand Prix: Max Verstappen's Best Overtakes

I never mention it is wrong to seek clarification with the FIA, this happens all the time.
The issue here is how FIA is handling it.
Firstly, they've already use some monitoring hardware on our system and have cleared us.
But they will still monitor us again in the next race. Just how many times are you going to do this?
Secondly, if such circumvention is possible, then maybe other teams are doing it as well. So why only monitor Ferrari and not everyone?
The front wing deflection you mention resulted in the FIA increasing the load of the deflection test, which of course is applicable to all teams as it should be.
FIA did not just monitor Red Bull alone, they introduce safe guard measure that is applicable for all teams.
Was this I want to see:
After 50 laps

Correct Rob. All those marbles or "clag" (Hobbs "Hobo" reference) are outside the driving line and collect in those areas. Drivers are told to drive over them on most tracks after the last lap and they also collect when the driver does his victory lap/cool down lap.

What most are sometimes forgetting about Mad Max is that he's 20 years old. He has accomplished plenty for a 20 year old driver. That said, i expect him to improve, imagine him when he's 23? I think he'll be a different driver and that he'll grow. However, he should be nowhere near a Ferrari sit till he's complete. No doubt he has massive potential though, extremely fast and aggressive he just needs experience in my opinion.
I also think some of the criticism aimed towards him like for example Rosberg saying that he doesn't have much hope for him are pretty unfair for a 20 year old 3 times Grand Prix winner.

Canada is a Hamilton, Vettel track. I expect a big fight between these two guys if dry.

to be honest i fear ferrari is indeed doing something that will get them in trouble or a part banned, it happened with the oil burning last year at canada and its just in time to happen again

lol ignore the bitter old cows ;-)
Noone forgets he's 20 yold. But that is something I personally don't care about. He has been given a SL and that means something. If he's prone to so many mistakes that there's even a web site about how long it has been since his last crash, there is something seriously wrong about the way he drives. If he poses a danger to his fellow drivers then he needs to put up or FIA (which incidentally is the body responsible for the security of the sport) needs to take measures about this.
But FIA seems to care for the depth of the pockets of the teams, may that be RBR or Mercedes.

Even though he is 20, this is still his fourth season in Formula 1. Max's crashes are due to his personality as a driver, and that is why I tend to agree with Rosberg. He has the raw speed, but he lacks the finesse of an Alonso, Vettel, or Hamilton. Without that, he will never be truly competitive over the span of an entire season unless he has the fastest car and no one in front of him. It's important to note that there is no shortage of drivers who can win this way, so his stock is not that high to me.
Disappointed Since 2010
I'm just saying Max has plenty of time to grow and learn. He extended his contract with RB so there's no pressure to immediately perform, he just needs to get his act together, even if he fails this year RB won't sack him he has another chance to prove himself next year. I don't know time will tell, but Rosberg saying there's no hope for him is unfair. Besides, i remember last year being a success for him. If it weren't for so many technical issues he would've gained more points than Ricciardo. Ricciardo is way more clever though, especially this year he upped his game significantly in my opinion.
Would it not be prudent that Ferrari demand a FIA investigation into whether there are team orders between FI and Merc? How is that legal?
we're number one
in regards to the flex wing situation from a few years back the FIA kept changing the rules to tighten things up. But that didnt stop the wings from fexing.
similarly they should figure out a test for this current situation. Why should be have to be monitored the whole race. They never developed a monitor for Red Bull during the race other than testing before or after the race.

You know the answer to that question; because its Ferrari and we need to be stopped at any cost. Such a helpless feeling being a Ferrari fan these days knowing that whatever we do the Merc/FIA will stop us from being ahead. On top of that it doesn't help that our staff keep going to rival teams. So much hate for Ferrari in the F1 world, yet Ferrari brings so much passion, history, fans, and money to the sport.
To add, it also doesn't help when other drivers just move over for Rat boy to pass with ease and nothing comes of it from the FIA. Liberty is slowly destroying the sport, FIA and the Media have obvious bias to our competitors. The sport that I love is in a very sad state right now.

~FORZA FERRARI~
The flex rule states a static load test and it's done like that.
If you pass the the test and then you flex like hell on track you are still legal.
Now, tell me how can you conduct a static parc fermè test that checks how many energy is transferred from ERS to MGU-K during every lap in the race?
As stated by Charlie W. the other teams ERS management is straightforward and easily checked with the standard sensors/software.
