2022 Monaco Grand Prix - Buildup, Practice & Qualifying Thread

[458 Italia]

We will only be serious title contenders if we get a 1-2. We need to have Sainz finally putting a race weekend together.

I actually think he's performed well so far over this weekend , apart from going into the run off area in turn 1 in practice he's been pretty solid here.

[Ferrarichamp]

congrats to both our drivers :ferrarifl

hoping for the another 1-2 tomorrow :pray

yep Carlos is usually quite solid in Monaco.

Typical Charles getting the most out of the car, he is a brilliant qualifier. Carlos did what he could to avoid Perez so hope he keeps his P2 and doesn't get penailsed for a yellow flag infringement. We have to make the most of this opportunity to capitalise, hoping the weather and reliability don't spoil our chances.:pray

I have every faith in Mr Freitas to make the right decision over what happened at the end of Qualifying. :-)

[PURE PASSION]

Yeah, but he didn't do anything wrong. He coulnd't have reacted better even if he was a god or something.

Not the Qualy insident . but on FP3 for impending Vettel

[Aziz]

So, according to weather site Yo.nr it will rain all day tomorrow :(

Apparently Leclerc was already 6 tenths faster in his 2nd run. Holy moly this man is just pure talent

[PURE PASSION]

I think Ver start to see that Lec is faster then him and is being the usual unethical he was the previous years. Supposedly the 1st 2-3 races he was acting the good boy ,but this was to try to prove that Ham was the bad guy on last years battles they had.
NOW for last weekends pole and dominant drive of Lec up until he retired,Ves didn't say anything good about Lec.He was bragging about his victory like it qas purely by his performance. Perez actually was the only from RedBull that admitted that Lec was too fast and there was no way they could beat him.
Now the only thing I read from him is moaning about his "lost opportunity ' and even said " well I think it's better to do your lap and bin it to the wall"!!!

He went all in I was sure about that but by this amount? That's crazy. Perez probably knew how fast Charles is going so he binned it on purpose to protect the Red Bull brand from a total anihilation.

Max can not compete here against Charles could not compete in Spain only for bad luck he won in Spain. Charles is wiping the floor with him in qualifying week in week out .

[PURE PASSION]

Helmut Marko on Charles missing the weigh bridge:

“If you punish this consistently, as in the junior classes, then there will be a drastic penalty. He drove by. According to the regulations, it should be a penalty. I don’t think pushing him back [as the team did] solves it.”
OMG , VES. MARCO (and sometimes Horner) strating to act so .......:ouch:ouch:ouch:ouch

[Tony]

Not saying it's his fault or anything, but is Sainz going to have an accident at every circuit? No wonder Binotto wants to raise the cap. Apparently you can go over the cap by 5% with a minimal penalty, i think Sainz is going to eat that budget quickly at this rate

Well said
How long will it take for everyone to understand that Ferrari's luck is him. He is the catalyst of the team, this car is the result of the investment of a team that believes in itself because it believes in him

He knows that his little champion will be eaten by Leclerc, it has even been known since long before their F1 years

Bit harsh on him there Tony, there really wasn't a lot he could've done today to avoid the coming together with the stationary Perez. Carlos clearly has his faults but he's looked good so far this weekend.

[paolo lalli]

When will a week go by that Dr Death Marko does not have anything to say honestly he tries everything to win f1 races by default at the expense of other teams he is undoubtedly a very sore player in general, he should focus on keeping hot head verstapens manners and behaviours towards red bull personel in check.

[Gilles]

I wouldn't want to overwhelm him, but Sainz complained that it was the second year that he had been prevented from trying to take pole...
The reporter asked him to repeat it to make sure he hadn't misunderstood
“ This is another year where the red flag causes the session to end early and does not allow me to try to take pole. But it happens in Monaco ”.
"The pole? Yes, it was possible. We had good pace all day. I was building my pace for qualifying. You never know the pace on the single lap, but I felt very good in the car today".

[PURE PASSION]

OMG !!!! MARCO IS TE MOST ANNOYING PERSON IN THE WHOLE F1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"It's annoying. Max was three tenths faster until the incident happened. The weak point, turn one, was now solved. We were on par with Leclerc,"
And the "on par" is 0.150s only in sector 1!!!!!

[SFTifoso]

Let’s go! Charles is still getting better and better as a driver. There’s no ceiling, we have something special here.

[tpe]

OMG , VES. MARCO (and sometimes Horner) strating to act so .......:ouch:ouch:ouch:ouch

This is BS. The rule says you cannot work on the car. Team fixed it, as other teams did in the past.
One reason I want the 1-2, is to see them moaning 😁

Wasn't intending to be harsh, it just seems he's had quite a lot of accidents although I don't believe it was his fault this time...

I have the impression that he is credited with the intention of having prevented Verstapen from taking second place from him. If indeed and totally out of step with his post-race statements, he was going to drop in the order (and even been overpaced by maybe 1 second by Charles), Perez was already preventing everyone from improving a lap

Any updates on weather?

[Kyss4k]

Marko was, is and will be a delusional fanatic to whom lying is sacred. I have no idea why Red Bull keeps him. He honestly even looks like a slimy granpa who likes little boys. The best one can do is to ignore everything this old man says.

Any photos of the red bull under floor after perez crash

Any updates on weather?

A little rain expected all afternoon. Can we never have easy conditions when we need them?

There was no rain in Barcelona...

[Tifoso Svedese]

Great weather with not a cloud in the sky in the F2 race. That's already better than the gloomy forecasts, which would say cloudy well before 11.

[Cavallino]

from the source i've been following, they keep pushing the onset of the showers backwards, to the point where, there is no rain expected until after the race.

Heat also works for bad luck
