Notes
Monaco manages to be both the most boring race and the most eventful at the same time.
Beautifully filmed throughout the weekend, with those wide drone shots above the circuit. It really looked great. It’s so funny now to think about the Miami race and that fake dock they built next to the track, compared to the Monaco footage.
However, the circuit is a problem for these cars, and nothing happens in terms of overtaking. It’s a tough, very narrow track, and you have every chance of scraping the wall. But it’s not at all enjoyable to watch.
- Qualifying was down to the wire. In the final minute, Max, Antonelli, Lewis, and Charles were battling for pole position. Antonelli wins and starts from P1. Maybe if Charles had managed to finish his last attempt, we’d have a different result, but he lightly tapped the wall with the rear and abandoned the lap.
- Max retires on the first lap, failing to get off the line. The car literally doesn’t start and limps back to the pits.
- I don’t know exactly what Ferrari did, but Antonelli pulled far ahead within the first 5-10 laps, and the gap kept growing. He stayed on the medium tires longer than the rest of the top 5 before pitting.
- Apparently, no one knows how to pit, because there are penalties for speeding in the pit lane left and right.
- Lance Stroll hits the wall, and everyone closes up again because we have a Safety Car. Thanks, Lance!
- Restart, and Charles Leclerc hits the wall. A special way to celebrate his contract extension with Ferrari. Seems like the car had no grip there at all.
- After the race: it seems the track surface where Lance and Charles hit the wall has issues.
- And with Charles, there’s probably also a brake issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/scuderiaferrari/s/5ZVIb8OHzj and https://www.reddit.com/r/scuderiaferrari/s/dSKmVXRoQI
- Red flag and everyone into the pits. Initially, I thought it was about Charles and that not everything had been cleared from the track, but I think it’s more that that section of the circuit isn’t in good condition.
- We have a grid restart! But yes, it’s Monaco, so Hamilton can’t make anything happen from P2 at the restart.
- Antonelli wins, Hamilton P2, Hadjar P3, everyone has a ton of penalties, and you don’t even know what the final order will be.
- Young Fernando Alonso scores a point.
