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

[tpe]

Let's start

[nhiepka]

Hope for a podium this weekend.

[Ferrarichamp]

Charles can win this, he needs to nail qualifying.

Wishful thinking, but sadly the red bull and Merc have a way better car with loads more downforce....of course anything is possible, just like me matching 6 out of 6 #’s in lotto....but the most I matched was 4/6...lol

Charles can win this, he needs to nail qualifying.

Could be a chance for at least a podium. Qualifying can be a lottery in Monaco, and if he places his car right we may have a chance.

[Ferrarichamp]

yeah, I mean if ferrari do win a race this year, realistically where is it gonna be?
Monaco or maybe Singapore, where else I don't know.

[wisepie]

It's what we all wish for but we have to be realistic and a podium would probably be more achievable. His record at Monaco hasn't been good so he's due a lucky break this time!

Amy photos from the preparation for tomorrow?

Amy photos from the preparation for tomorrow?

In a general sense, there's quit alot of photos of preparation for tomorrow.....since last week Friday. None from Ferrari though except Charles and Carlos arriving in a Ferrari.

what a ... trolling ... headline.... is F1.com so intent on wanting a crash between ham and max????
have they run out of articles????
sort of highlights the SAD state of F1

[Toothlessrage*]

Mechanical issues for Leclerc, while Sainz is leading the session (for now).

[Ferrarichamp]

what's the issue on Leclerc's car?

[tifosi1993]

what's the issue on Leclerc's car?

Gearbox problem. His session is over.

Charles's Monaco curse continues.

[Toothlessrage*]

what's the issue on Leclerc's car?

"Leclerc out of FP1
And that is why it is such a blow to hear the news coming out of Ferrari - Leclerc's engine issue is a suspected gearbox problem and that means the Monegasque is almost certainly out of this session after just four laps."

[Ferrarichamp]

but if they replace the gearbox for FP2 there's no penalty right?

[Toothlessrage*]

Carlos is on FIRE!

[Redfive]

Leclerc noo :(

[alfaromeo]

Ferrari is FAST here…

[tpe]

Wait please...
Wait

[tifosi1993]

As expected, the car is working well here. I just hope Charles will have a clean weekend from now on, his bad luck here is unbelievable.

[alfaromeo]

I’m just written that is fast if will be enough for leclerk 1-3 a don’t know

[Nick Singer]

I fancy us to do well this year in Monaco..

[nhiepka]

what the bad luck for Charles.

[wisepie]

what the bad luck for Charles.

Let's pray that this will be the only problem he encounters at his home race, hope it can be sorted for FP2. Carlos making up for it, though.

[Toothlessrage*]

Sainz is feckin QUICK!
Even on the Hards

So the car must have good mechanical grip as this track is mostly slow to medium speed corners....something the sf1000 lacked quite a bit last year....now only if our donkey engine would have another 20 hp. Where would we be this year....

[WS6TransAm01]

Im really mad at Sainz.... he's giving me false hope.

[FerrariF60]

I’m sure no ones pushing flat out now, it’s only free practice....
The times we’ll be in the 1:09 me thinks come quali....we’ll see how quick Ferrari will be then

I, like every other Ferrari fan, wanted this year to be very competitive. Maybe if we had the same rules the next year maybe we would have been competitive.
But honestly, we have to be realistic.
Each team, no matter its history, takes time to find its sweet spot.
Also, I'm pretty sure there are 1000 factors that contribute to a team being competitive that we'll never know.
I guess we have to be a little more patient?

That's why I'm mad at him... no need to be doing this when you know it's all for nothing lol
