2023 Monaco Grand Prix - Race Thread

[Greig]

5 sec penalty for Russell, unsafe release.

[stefa]

Then if it never got fully wet you would call it a blunder

[brucewayne]

Only 5 seconds for Russell?!?!

[Greig]

Russell reversed onto track and contact with Perez should be a drive thu penalty!

[ferrari1.8t]

Ferrari need to tell Charles to pick up the pace and get within 5 of George.

[tifosi1993]

Charles's useless race engineer not telling him that Russell got a 5 seconds time penalty.

[tifosi1993]

Now he informs Charles. Thanks Xavi.

[stefa]

LH crying over rain?!?!

[ferrari1.8t]

Charles's useless race engineer not telling him that Russell got a 5 seconds time penalty.

Xavi’s one job is to screw Leclerc, not help him

[Greig]

Rain to stop soon, it might dry up so another chance for a blunder or genius for us....

[stefa]

CL is way slower than GR

[ferrari1.8t]

Now he informs Charles. Thanks Xavi.

Good, I missed it.

[tifosi1993]

Charles is very strong in the Sector 1 and 3, but slow in the middle sector. Carlos matching Charles's lap times.

[ferrari1.8t]

Leclerc pace is garbage, almost 9 seconds behind Russel.

[drax]

Charles pace on the inters is awfull

[stefa]

CL dropping like a stone

[ferrari1.8t]

Let’s hope the Merc’s take eachother out.

[tifosi1993]

Charles has picked up his pace. He was losing time in the tunnel but not anymore.

How is our 2 year evolution design slower than Merc’ spec B car, on its first time out. 2022 was so promising now we’re basically back to where we were in 2021. I guess as long as they make money on the legacy Enzo left behind is all good for them.

[ferrari1.8t]

Gap 11.5 seconds. Ferrari should be embarrassed…

This car is GARBAGE!!!!!

Which pace? Let’s ask Greig, he will find a reason…

[tifosi1993]

Max bangs walls but doesn't get any damage. Pure luck.

[drax]

Most likely, like last year car is eating up the inter tires, without solving the tire wear issue we can do nothing

[tifosi1993]

Which pace? Let’s ask Greig, he will find a reason…

Charles had Tsunoda Infront.

[Greig]

Who cares?

You might remember I told you last year that we will be re-building, you seemed to think replacing Binotto would solve everything, you were wrong as usual.

[ferrari1.8t]

Merc doesn’t care or even think about a budget cap, designs a b spec car and is fast straight out of the box. Yes, Monaco is an outlier and isn’t really representative. But still. Ferrari sitting with this fingers in their you know what and going backwards.

Pit wall mistakes, design mistakes, race mismanagement…they never learn.

All thanks for Mattia Binotto’s clown show as a TP.
I’ve said many times here, he is good fit for technical role not for TP.

Now we need to wait for 2026 reg to change, even that’s not guarantee. Somebody from higher management need to be ruthless in playing our cards towards FIA.

Don't we have our upgrades coming in Barcelona? If there is no progress there we need to write the season off
