Who died? Except Sergio’s chassis and apparently Ocons career after that dive bomb haha

Fun did, apparently.

Sums up the race

[colsankey]

Explain to a newb this:
Lap 45? Stroll pits, and takes hard tires, announcers are all excited about him getting fresh tires, and being able to make some moves (seems unlikely being Stroll.)

And there's a lot of chatter about how in lap 2 everyone might try and go all the way to the end, so 72 more laps?, on the tires they are on, mix of hard and mediums early on IIRC.

When Lewis, Verstappe, and a handful of others all pit in lap 52?, they all grab hard tires, despite there supposedly being longer lap times with hard tires.

With only ~20 laps to go, wouldn't they be better off taking those mediums and trying to snake another position?

At first I was thinking maybe the mediums might degrade to fast being pushed hard, but considering half the teams though about running them for 70 laps, I cant see how beat up they would be after 20 laps.

[rage2]

You need to be 5s a lap faster to have a chance at an overtake if the driver in front doesn’t make a mistake. Mediums weren’t faster than hards. There was essentially zero deg on both tires. This was well known before race start. If max couldn’t pass Russell being 3s a lap faster, nobody was making a pass without capitalizing on a mistake. I don’t think anyone had fresh mediums either.

In other news Indy 500 last laps was a banger. Poor McLaren another 2nd place (and 3rd). Pato had a too soon jr pass for the lead, and lost it on the final lap.

Never thought to say an indy oval race is more exciting than an F1 race, but that was it on Sunday.... Pato fucked up imo... he shouldve held onto the draft longer than 1 lap left.

btw: wtf u doing in my hood today?

Interesting that Red Bull will resign Perez for 1 year and not Sainz. That Mexican sponsor $$$.
Fun stat: Logan Sergeant has out qualified Perez 5 times

Uh oh, where was I spotted? Haha

Monaco finished with the top 10 in the exact same order as qualifying was. First time in history apparently and just shows how much of a snoozefest the race itself it unfortunately.

I really hope they find a way to shrink the cars, there's been talks of trimming the weight but honestly they also need to focus on the physical size as well. Go back to how narrow the cars were pre-hybrid era and try to make it easier to race side by side in tighter areas.

I'm sure the solution is bigger tracks in more US cities instead. lol.

EDIT:

Sainz to Williams now RBR door is shut?

How is that going to work if he got to share a car with Albon?
