2021 Monaco Grand Prix - Monte Carlo, May 20 - 23

Leclerc out of the race.

[Cavallino]

Not an easy track for us.

Agreed, but Leclerc goes well there, I need to see him not put a car in the wall at a street circuit and still be quick.

[jgonzalesm6]

Left drive shaft issue for Leclerc which can't be repaired before the race.

[Tifoso Svedese]

Heart breaking.

But lets focus our hopes and prayers on Sainz. There is still a Ferrari out there starting from P3. We can still win this race.

No. Absolutely not. Monaco is a parade and you're going nowhere + Max has got the race pace to pull away.

Leclerc out of the race.

What happened? How is this guy seriously cursed at Monaco?

[Greig]

No. Absolutely not. Monaco is a parade and you're going nowhere + Max has got the race pace to pull away.

Ah still here then

[Cavallino]

Left drive shaft issue for Leclerc which can't be repaired before the race.

Were they so focused on the right side they forgot to check the left?

Hamilton must have been calling on the devil again for assistance....

Leclerc does well everywhere except Monaco (as I see him crashing through the walls of street circuit). But our car/ engine doesn’t support on that track (Baku).

RACE UPDATE:

Charles will not start the race due to an issue with the left driveshaft which is impossible to fix in time for the start of the race.

[Cavallino]

Heart breaking.

Yep, completely agree. Carlos goes well here and especially if he pips Bottas at the start.

That's a possibilty.

[Greig]

Gearbox failure

Seems left side driveshaft.....disaster if true that they did not replace it.

[Tifoso Svedese]

Ah still here then

The radar suggest Scotland is sending some weather

That being said my plans remain.

[MSC Fan]

Sainz better go all out and have one of his trademark excellent starts again. Don't care if he DNFs too, just win at all costs.

[330 p4]

Well they went for it, it was a chance to win so why not. Does mean 2 McLarens v 1 Ferrari for points but in this transition season I am glad they went for it for a rare chance to win. Don't think your allowed to open the gearbox to check, I think its sealed. This gearbox was fragile anyway, guess it's the one that messed up in FP1?

Corrected

Well, he's quick everywhere. And he's quick on street circuits, remember Singapore pole. He should have won that race AND Baku in 2019.

I understand we won't be competing for the win in Baku in 2 weeks, but it is absolutely important for Leclerc to NOT put the car in the wall there. I just think he is a little too crash prone.

Not that I'm worried, Max has crashed sooo much more, including twice at the swimming pool in Monaco just like Leclerc did yesterday. And Max has put other drivers at risk which is even worse.

[tifosi1993]

Come on Sainz.

[killer]

$&@/)-(-&-&-!!!!##

Chin up, Charles. Come on, Carlos!

Sainz has pace. We are not done yet.

[Cavallino]

Good news is that Sainz is on the clean side now right? He could get Bottas at the start then.

[nani_s23]

Next pole or podium or good results we can expect Singapore GP?

If any luck, Sainz should pull out something here in Monaco.

[JacKy]

no ffffaking way

Yup agree...!!

No, P1 box shall remain empty. Advantage Potato

I'd be pretty ****** if he loses position at the start.

[killer]

He absolutely can clean side or not.

[458 Italia]

It's like Barrichello and Brazil all over again with Leclerc and Monaco.

[Cavallino]

No, P1 box shall remain empty. Advantage Potato

we can't catch a break can we?

we're not Lewis afterall.

TBF, it was Charles's own doing.
