[jgonzalesm6]

1 hour to go at time of post

Let's hope for a clean start.......

I just hope Ferrari finishes the race better than they start or about the same as they start. It will be interesting on tyre strats.

Forza Ferrari.

[KimiBot]

Yeah, good and clean start, that is what we hope. It looks cloudy, hopefully no rain.

Tire strategy may turn out wrong with a SC.

[Christopher]

The channel 4 guys saying it is starting to rain

[jgonzalesm6]

yep, it mucks it all up which in this race is immenent....still have to go with tyre strat though.

[IulianFerrari]

The channel 4 guys saying it is starting to rain

It will be carnage if that happens

[IulianFerrari]

So, are we going to win this or what?

[mwk360]

drops of rain already hooo boy

[IulianFerrari]

Meanwhile, I am sure that the timer will be restarted today http://crashstappen.com

[FerrariF60]

So, are we going to win this or what?

totally mate.....i'm optimistic that it will happen...

[tifosi1993]

Looks like more rain is rolling in.

[Stormy]

Just heard Niki on Sky saying about our car that everything is legal. He just wanted the FIA to clarify these rumors. Thank god guys.

As the race is concerned, if it rains, i hope we will get more racing less SC. We got HALO now anyway.

When it comes to the results, i just want Seb to finish ahead of Lewis. Ric seems unstoppable i don't know if we have an answer for him here but everything is possible through a perfect strategy.

Forza :ferrarifl

[Ferrarichamp]

when i checked the forecast yesterday they said dry weather :roll

[nani_s23]

If it rains, it’s anybody’s game...!!!

[KimiBot]

I have a feeling that RIC is not going to win today.:-D

[Ferrarichamp]

so how heavy is the rain anyway?

Lauda: "Thank god! This rumour went on since Australia. That there is something extra on the Ferrari battery. But we needed clarification."

Lauda: "Thank god the FIA said its legal. Now we can all move on..."

[Cavallino]

Guys, I don't think we want rain.

We have an advantage over Merc in the dry, we don't want anything to mess with our advantage so that we don't maximize the points difference to Hamilton.

Rain would have been nice at the last race, or in France or Britain where we might be behind Mercedes.

More bad luck for Ferrari.

[mwk360]

so how heavy is the rain anyway?

From what i saw. Its just slight drizzle not sure right now

[mwk360]

200% agreed with you

[Ferrarichamp]

ah right well that makes more sense.

[Rob]

no rain forecast. Just overcast and windy.

If Seb can jump Dani Ric, we can win this.

I will watch this until the Giro starts in hour or so, then cheer on Froomey and Team Sky.

[IulianFerrari]

Wanted! Lawyer who can get a law biding F1 team, out of a multiple year contract with a high maintenance driver. He destroys cars, if needed we can bring footage to court.
Call and ask for Christian or Helmuth at 0800...

[nani_s23]

I have a feeling that RIC is not going to win today.:-D

Ham always been lucky in these mixed conditions :-D dnf is due

[nani_s23]

I’m praying for vet, kimi & Leclerc to have a good safe race

[Rob]

Ham always been lucky in these mixed conditions :-D dnf is due

dont wish DNFs on others, as that can come back and bite us in the you now where.

[nani_s23]

Yeah got it, but :-s. He’s few times lucky & we are more unlucky.

[FerrariF60]

well looking at teh race pace we had in practice, YEAH we have a chance......but easier said then DONE to pass the red bull off the start....such a short run to 1st corner....but it's been done before

we;ll see.....FORZA FERRARI

[Cavallino]

dont wish DNFs on others, as that can come back and bite us in the you now where.

Ham has been unbelievably lucky, this season and seasons past. 2008, how lucky do you have to be to put a car against the wall in Monaco and still be in the race!!!

[jgonzalesm6]

C'mon, no celebs interviews.....they no nothing!!!!

[nani_s23]

Ham has been unbelievably lucky, this season and seasons past. 2008, how lucky do you have to be to put a car against the wall in Monaco and still be in the race!!!

Remember timo glock :-D brazil

[Hornet]

Good luck all. Hopefully SC or whatever luck will favor us today:pray

[mwk360]

lol sky asking hugh grant if he supports lewis he said no he supports ferrari

[mizf1]

Forza Ferrari

[mwk360]

hamilton is the luckiest driver in f1 ever

[mizf1]

lol sky asking hugh grant if he supports lewis he said no he supports ferrari

He is a guest of Ferrari:-)

[Cavallino]

C'mon, no celebs interviews.....they no nothing!!!!

I actually agreed 100% with Hugh Grant.

[mwk360]

He is a guest of Ferrari:-)

lol still had a laugh when they assumed he was pulling for ham today

[FerrariSteve]

Damn parasite 'celebs', are the one thing I hate about Monaco.

that said, Forza Ferrari!! Hope our guys get a good start and Kimi needs to muscle past Lewis at the start!

[mizf1]

what is with these grid girls holding these captions, another Liberty media henius idea.

If they wanted to be smart then should have had interactive boards so the message updates

[mizf1]

lol still had a laugh when they assumed he was pulling for ham today

They have to realise, not everyone in Britain supports Hamilton, Mclaren or Williams

[WS6TransAm01]

Is anyone else going to be watching this race on mute? I think if I have to listen to the Sky commentators for a minute longer I may shoot my TV.

[mwk360]

liberty taking the sport in every wrong direction possible imo, they want a racing version of wwe

When it is on Sky and C4 here in the UK, I always watch it on Channel 4 as Coulthard is less biased then Croft and Brundle

[Christopher]

Hopefully Seb gets an amazing start and beats Ricciardo off the line

Forza Ferrari :ferrarifl:ferrarifl:ferrarifl

[WS6TransAm01]

liberty taking the sport in every wrong direction possible imo, they want a racing version of wwe

That could spell disaster and a few broken ribs for Max.

[bondilad]

Hoping for a clean race. C'mon Ferrari please have a good strategy and be ready for any opportunity.

[mizf1]

Last race on this combustion engine and we get our new engine in canada

[WS6TransAm01]

lol hope you have warranty m8 :-D
I don't think it covers multiple bullet holes lol


When it is on Sky and C4 here in the UK, I always watch it on Channel 4 as Coulthard is less biased then Croft and Brundle

We are not as lucky here. Only option is Sky via ESPN.

[mwk360]

Hopefully Seb gets an amazing start and beats Ricciardo off the line

Forza Ferrari :ferrarifl:ferrarifl:ferrarifl

:pray:pray:pray

[Scuderia85]

Forza FERRARI

[FerrariF60]

Last race on this combustion engine and we get our new engine in canada

yeah, let's hope Ferrari have refined the engine and comes up with an upgrade with a bit more power and more reliable for Canada.....oh, and i'll be at the race in Montreal....cannot wait

[mwk360]

i cant deal with these stomach butterflies :-bounce

[FerrariSteve]

Hopefully Seb gets an amazing start and beats Ricciardo off the line

Forza Ferrari :ferrarifl:ferrarifl:ferrarifl

That would be awesome but I'll be happy if he remains ahead of Lewis, he's the WDC contender.. I don't see Ricciardo as a title challenger this year.

[IulianFerrari]

Hate it when commentators talk over team radios, to finish an idea. There is nothing you can say that is more important than a driver talking. Just Shut It!

[FerrariF60]

i'm so nervous.....common boyz, Forza Ferrari

[Scuderia85]

clean start now boys please!

[mizf1]

Also lets hope Kimi jump Hamilton

[IulianFerrari]

clean start now boys please!

Most important thing

[Hornet]

Let's go, clean start pls

[mwk360]

Please clean :pray

[KimiBot]

:ferrarifl:ferrarifl:ferrarifl

[FerrariF60]

boring start....now a boring 77 laps

[WS6TransAm01]

Okay. Clean start. Let the parade begin and let's wait for the first Safety Car.

[FerrariF60]

Okay. Clean start. Let the parade begin and let's wait for the first Safety Car.

yup....

[Scuderia85]

yup....

oh yes

[mwk360]

thank goodness it was clean, now kimi needs to keep hamilton under pressure

[Cavallino]

I say we pit kimi early and try to undercut Ham.

[abbottcostello]

How soon to first (and last?) pit?

[Christopher]

Riccardo is backing everyone up

[mwk360]

I say we pit kimi early and try to undercut Ham.

i think he is going to do that, he is chasing down hamilton for once

[mizf1]

Karun Saying a few rain drops now

[mwk360]

How soon to first (and last?) pit?

they said possible 10laps before pit

[abbottcostello]

I say we pit kimi early and try to undercut Ham.
That is my guess, as well!:thumb

[mizf1]

Riccardo is backing everyone up

Yes, he does not want to create a gap so vet and ham can undercut him

[mizf1]

Hamilton complaining about right front graining

[abbottcostello]

I say we pit kimi early and try to undercut Ham.
That is my guess, as well!:thumb

Wow! pretty severe penalty for Sirotkin

[Cavallino]

Hamilton complaining about right front graining

nice

[WS6TransAm01]

At a real track I think Kimi would have had Lewis already.

[mizf1]

It looks like hamilton is holding up kimi. Vet got a bit of a gap

[FerrariF60]

It looks like hamilton is holding up kimi. Vet got a bit of a gap

nope he just went fastest

[mwk360]

Mercs have bluffed about tyre wear and pitstops everytime, ferrari needs to be awake and play the same game here. mercs dummy pit

[mizf1]

Max will find t harder to pass once behind Alonso

[Cavallino]

Mercs have bluffed about tyre wear and pitstops everytime, ferrari needs to be awake and play the same game here. mercs dummy pit

I've noticed this. We need to run our race for a change. And possilby use Kimi to undercut.

[mizf1]

nope he just went fastest

Kimi stil, 1 sec behind Hamilton

[Cavallino]

Use Kimi as bait, and just mirror Ham with Vet.

[mwk360]

Use Kimi as bait, and just mirror Ham with Vet.

yes, i would take P2 here if it means beating hamilton

[mizf1]

Ric and ham 1 sec faster last lap then hamilton

[Cavallino]

At this point, you can get to the end on the other tyres. Just mirror Ham and get out of here with as many points as possible.

[mwk360]

come on Leclerc!

[mizf1]

ham pits

[mizf1]

Hamilton behind ocon

[Cavallino]

Watch for the Undercut!!!

[mwk360]

o god hamilton

[mwk360]

is ferrari not reacting? :(

[mizf1]

Seb told to stay out

[mizf1]

is ferrari not reacting? :(

Why? We will end up behind Ocon who will slow us down

[Cavallino]

Safety car would be perfect right now.

[mwk360]

ocon gave mercedes that pass

[FerrariF60]

Safety car would be perfect right now.

yup, where is grojean when you need him

[Christopher]

Ocon let Lewis passed

[FerrariF60]

Ocon let Lewis passed

yup, sadly that was an easy pass.....

[mwk360]

cheats

[mizf1]

ocon gave mercedes that pass

Yes, he is Toto's driver. He don't want to harm any future merc drive

[Cavallino]

What an easy pass.

[mwk360]

hamilton is faster than kimi last lap

[Scuderia85]

ocon gave mercedes that pass

oh yes he is a merc driver indeed

[ChrisFerrari]

what the heck Ocon just did?! C'mon. Its one thing that FIA pushes mercs but even their partner teams??

[458 Italia]

Joke from Force India.

[Scuderia85]

what the heck Ocon just did?! C'mon. Its one thing that FIA pushes mercs but even their partner teams??

Ocon = Merc driver

[mizf1]

Seb pits

[FerrariF60]

seb pits

[mwk360]

seb pits :( o god

[Scuderia85]

come on now kimi push push

[Scuderia85]

super soft on BOTTAS

[458 Italia]

How has hamilton managed to get that huge advantage over kimi.

[FerrariF60]

How has hamilton managed to get that huge advantage over kimi.

help from OCON and also kimi sleeping

[Cavallino]

Well that's pretty much it, it's a parade now till the end.

[ChrisFerrari]

How has hamilton managed to get that huge advantage over kimi.

He was quick on new US. We should have come earlier with Kimi. Ahead of Lewis.

[FerrariF60]

Well that's pretty much it, it's a parade now till the end.

sadly yes

[zike]

How has hamilton managed to get that huge advantage over kimi.

Kimi was losing over a sec after ham passed Ocon, great work from pit wall once again

[ChrisFerrari]

sadly yes

Plus one pitstop for everyone on US. Its not over.

[FerrariSteve]

Ocon handed the place to Lewis, talk about blatant.

Kimi sleeping again?

[ChrisFerrari]

Kimi needs to close the gap and then try the undercut.

[karthikn.1011]

Don't understand why Kimi was not pitted immediately after Lewis ..the lap after the stop Lewis was getting up to speed and Kimi did a personal best would definitely have comeback in front if a pitstop was made .. just cannot understand Ferrari's tactics with Kimi this year ..they just seem to completely ignore him

[mizf1]

Bottas only top 6 who went supersoft instead of ultrasoft

[aquaria]

Again awful strategy with Kimi by the team. He should have pitted right after Lewis

[mizf1]

Seb chipping away at the gap.

[mizf1]

Stroll is just a spoilt child - ranting down the radio

[FerrariF60]

Seb chipping away at the gap.

all he can do....but sadly unless Ric makes a mistake, he will finish 2nd

[mizf1]

Red bull not run this tyre all weekend, hopefully they chew it

[ChrisFerrari]

Kimi is closing the gap. Do these US last for the whole race? If not we have a great chance for a 1-3 finish.

[Hornet]

Don't understand why Kimi was not pitted immediately after Lewis ..the lap after the stop Lewis was getting up to speed and Kimi did a personal best would definitely have comeback in front if a pitstop was made .. just cannot understand Ferrari's tactics with Kimi this year ..they just seem to completely ignore him

Lewis wasn't held up, would not have made any diffence. Kimi didn't have the pace to leapfrog Lewis

[458 Italia]

Again Force India waves Mercedes through.

[FerrariF60]

Kimi is closing the gap. Do these US last for the whole race? If not we have a great chance for a 1-3 finish.

1-3 for us?????? you forgot that Rich is on FIRST place and really hard to pass on this track

[mizf1]

Kimi needs to send one down the inside when he is close enough to Hamilton, if he takes out Hamilton then oh well, racing incident

[ChrisFerrari]

1-3 for us?????? you forgot that Rich is on FIRST place and really hard to pass on this track

Undercut at next pitstop?

[FerrariF60]

Kimi needs to send one down the inside when he is close enough to Hamilton, if he takes out Hamilton then on well, racing incident

lol

[FerrariF60]

Undercut at next pitstop?

sadly this is a ONE STOP mate

[mizf1]

Hamiltons left tyre now graining.

[ChrisFerrari]

sadly this is a ONE STOP mate

No way. Hamilton's having a heavy graining right now. These USs wont last. SSs maybe.

[Greig]

Bottas is gonna win if everyone has to stop again

[totox]

sadly this is a ONE STOP mate

There's no way to finish with that tires for anyone apart from redbulls

[FerrariF60]

No way. Hamilton's having a heavy graining right now. These USs wont last. SSs maybe.

maybe, maybe not.....so after your thoughts on this, Bottas should win the race since he's on the SS??? we'll see mate, we'll see

[mizf1]

The ultras not working as expected, Bottas only one on supersofts. Also I think Hamiltons tyres are a. It older as they used them in Q2 yesterday

[ChrisFerrari]

Bottas is gonna win if everyone has to stop again

Agree. He does not deserve it though, so I hope for more graining for him.

[FerrariF60]

Bottas is gonna win if everyone has to stop again

yup

[Greig]

Ric losing power

[mizf1]

Ric losing power

[mizf1]

C'mon Vettel, go in for the kill

[totox]

Oh god! Lady luck for us?

[Greig]

Ric is done

[FerrariF60]

Ric losing power

oh, no....for real or jsut saying that to spice things up

[DJTaurus]

Hamilton loosing a lot of time.

[WS6TransAm01]

Ric is loosing power and Seb still can't pass. Does anyone need any more proof that this track does not belong on the F1 calendar?

[mizf1]

C'mon vettel take him just incase Red Bull manage to fix it

[Rob]

Ric is done

oooo whats happened?

just switched back from watching the Giro.

[totox]

Hamilton blocking kimi!

[mizf1]

Lewis really slow. 1.5 sec slower then vet

[totox]

The thing is, that damn bull is mighty here

[Hornet]

We need bigger speed diff for Vettel to pass safely

[mizf1]

RIC asked if it will get better - engineer said negative

[FerrariF60]

bottal is breathing down Kimi's neck

[DJTaurus]

Let’s hope bottas won’t pit for a second one and keep Hamilton even further back.

[Greig]

We are gonna have to pit Seb again by the look of his tyres.

[Hornet]

Whoa Bottas :-E

[totox]

Merc are doing a sandwich with kimi

[mizf1]

Bottas looks quite strong now compared to lewis and kimi

[FerrariF60]

We are gonna have to pit Seb again by the look of his tyres.

yeah they dont' look too good..

[ChrisFerrari]

Alright. Sad to say but Kimi needs to hold up Bottas.

[Greig]

We might need to use Kimi to hold Bottas back for Seb to get a gap

[Rob]

We are gonna have to pit Seb again by the look of his tyres.

just seen Bottas front left, that snt looking good either. Better than ours but getting worse.

[WS6TransAm01]

Unless Daniel's engine totally gives up the ghost Seb won't be able to pass at this Mickey Mouse track.

[mizf1]

3rd,4th and 5th catching the top 2

[FerrariF60]

Alright. Sad to say but Kimi needs to hold up Bottas.

he's doing the best he can....

[458 Italia]

Botas looks like he could win this.

[FerrariF60]

We might need to use Kimi to hold Bottas back for Seb to get a gap

i think that's what the team are currently doing

[ChrisFerrari]

C'mon that Renault engine should not last the whole race.

[abbottcostello]

Ham is the one caused this, backed Kimi into Bottas

[Greig]

i think that's what the team are currently doing

Kimi is quicker than Seb so no lol

[mizf1]

I think seb playing a waiting game for some reason, otherwise he would have been stuck to his gearbox

[totox]

Riccardo is still alive thanks to that chassis

[mizf1]

Seb needs to get the job done before hamilton is on our gearbox

[fratelliferrari]

Is this for sure a 1 stop race?

[Greig]

Pace is bad now

[mizf1]

The midfield is 1.5 seconds faster then RIC and VET

[Kristof_F40]

I think seb playing a waiting game for some reason, otherwise he would have been stuck to his gearbox

It just show how hard it is to overtake here..

Kimi was also clearly faster than HAM..

If it stays liek this, I htink top 4 will start to have problems with US, BOT on SS...

[ChrisFerrari]

Damn this track. History is great but this track should be updated for more overtaking ASAP. Its a joke.

[FerrariF60]

Is this for sure a 1 stop race?

for Ric maybe....his tires look ok.....for us and Merc (lewise) look like we have to pit again

[Schumiklub]

Pit Seb already... He can under cut, I doubt Bottas can go the whole distance.

[mizf1]

Pit Seb already... He can under cut, I doubt Bottas can go the whole distance.

Track position is key here

[ChrisFerrari]

Pit Seb already... He can under cut, I doubt Bottas can go the whole distance.

If we pit him, Mercs sure as hell wont come out to pit again. Track position is everything here.

[FerrariF60]

Pit Seb already... He can under cut, I doubt Bottas can go the whole distance.

im pretty sure Bot can go to the end on those tires....remember its' hard to pass on this track,

[stefa]

This so called track should be removed from calendar ASAP!!!!

[Schumiklub]

If we pit him, Mercs sure as hell wont come out to pit again. Track position is everything here.

There is no way we can finish on these tyres. We need to pit sooner or later. The pace is too slow.

[FerrariSteve]

I think its time Monaco was dropped now. This isn't a race.

[WS6TransAm01]

This so called track should be removed from calendar ASAP!!!!

Exactly. At what other track can a car be 18kph slower in the straight and not get passed.

[FerrariF60]

I think its time Monaco was dropped now. This isn't a race.

yup, it's just a parade

[stefa]

I think its time Monaco was dropped now. This isn't a race.

:clap

[ChrisFerrari]

There is no way we can finish on these tyres. We need to pit sooner or later. The pace is too slow.

Doesn't matter if you have fresher tyres here. Bottas is 1-1.5 sec faster than Kimi yet he is unable to overtake.

[mizf1]

Ham got some serious graining

[Schumiklub]

Doesn't matter if you have fresher tyres here. Bottas is 1-1.5 sec faster than Kimi yet he is unable to overtake.

I really think Bottas will pit again as well. But it's not use if our tyre blows.

[FerrariF60]

Ham got some serious graining

yeah, but so do we

red bull has the best tire wear at the moment

[mwk360]

hamilton catching 2s behind :-( vettel getting blackouts on dashboard
bottas doesnt have to stop again

seb has some serious front left deg

[ChrisFerrari]

I really think Bottas will pit again as well. But it's not use if our tyre blows.

If he pits then it would make no sense to put on SSs. He will go to the end.

[mwk360]

a bit boring tbh but the more and more vettel is having issues the worse its getting

[mwk360]

ham is closer to vet . if he pits it screws vet

[ChrisFerrari]

I can sense some drama coming in the last 2-3 laps. If these tyres are gone, we will have madness on the track.

[mizf1]

In a few laps, there will be a 5 car train at the front

[jgonzalesm6]

Vettel has black-out on his dash. L41.

[mizf1]

Another 33 laps on these tyres. They using max as data

Lets see what the pace difference is once Max pits for new tyrs

[FerrariF60]

we should pit now NO???

[mwk360]

ham is almost drs of vettel, vets tyres are finish

[abbottcostello]

Sky pointed out, very little lapping of the field. Plays right into Ric's hand

[mwk360]

they should box kimi!

[mizf1]

It's all going to happen in the last few laps. Calm before the storm

[FerrariF60]

they should box kimi!

i think so too...nothing to loose wiht him

[Greig]

we should pit now NO???

keep track position

[mizf1]

Sky pointed out, very little lapping of the field. Plays right into Ric's hand

That is because the backmarkers are only a few tenths slower then the leaders

[FerrariF60]

keep track position

what if hte others pit.....they'll be much faster

[Greig]

what if hte others pit.....they'll be much faster

still wont pass

[ChrisFerrari]

This racetrack is a joke. Too bad the Monegasque are the richest people on Earth so they get their shiny event that does not resemble a F1 race.

[mizf1]

what if hte others pit.....they'll be much faster

They wont be able to pass

[FerrariF60]

still wont pass

really??? Ham seemed to have passed Ocon pretty easy on new tires

[mwk360]

i think so too...nothing to loose wiht him

he can jump hamilton too! ham and vet needs to pit, look how bad sebs tyres look

[Hornet]

The top 5 can probably finish in this order despite their problems.

[Cavallino]

At Monaco, I'd rather have an engine problem than a tyre problem. Tyre problem, you are more likely to screw up and slide the car out of the race.

[Greig]

really??? Ham seemed to have passed Ocon pretty easy on new tires

LOL Ocon moved over for Lewis and Bottas and should be investigated.

[FerrariF60]

LOL Ocon moved over for Lewis and Bottas and should be investigated.

moved over?? pure pace mate on NEW tires....that's what it was

[mizf1]

really??? Ham seemed to have passed Ocon pretty easy on new tires

He got waved through

[Cavallino]

LOL Ocon moved over for Lewis and Bottas and should be investigated.

Yep, imagine if that was LeClerc moving over for a Ferrari, Brundle would have a field day.

[FerrariSteve]

really??? Ham seemed to have passed Ocon pretty easy on new tires

Lewis didn't "overtake" Ocon, Ocon waved him past.

[stefa]

At Monaco, I'd rather have an engine problem than a tyre problem. Tyre problem, you are more likely to screw up and slide the car out of the race.

I would rather don't have this track!!!

[ChrisFerrari]

I wonder if Bottas hadn't put on SSs, would the others be still on a 1 stop strategy..

[Greig]

moved over?? pure pace mate on NEW tires....that's what it was

LOL no, even Sky said he let them pass

[jgonzalesm6]

really??? Ham seemed to have passed Ocon pretty easy on new tires


Ocon "gifted" that pass.

[FerrariF60]

I would rather don't have this track!!!

me too mate, me too

[Rob]

moved over?? pure pace mate on NEW tires....that's what it was

he moved over.

[Cavallino]

I would rather don't have this track!!!

It's just a nerve racking parade. Look how slow they're going. 10 seconds off qualy pace.

[mizf1]

Max is almost 4 seconds faster on new tyres, maybe we should pit kimi and lose position to Bottas. However we should close the gap with 5 laps and have fresher tyres at the end for an attack.

Worth a gamble as we only lose 1 place with kimi?

[abbottcostello]

Vet getting ready to try?

[mizf1]

Also bottas might attack hamilton and take some points off him as well

[Cavallino]

Passing Riciardo doesn't matter to me, especially if it happens, it's likely Ham gets around him too.
