A McLaren passes a Mercedes on track!

Anyone know what Mercedes changed for FP2?

Button behind Vandoorne? Looks like he prepared well.

According to Toto, they didn't get their setup right for FP2.
Will be hard to claw back that one sec gap to Ferrari.

Vettle for the win in Monaco.

I see Mercedes struggling here with a longer wheel base. Hell I think Red Bull or one of the smaller teams might get a podium.

No idea on the upgrades by Mercedes. I also predict Hamilton having a goomba face at the end of the race.

Whatever they changed, you can guarantee it'll be thrown out the window for the third practice.

My favourite race of the year. No matter what hamilton is competitive no matter the weather.
I find that they always somewhat sandbag in fp.

SHould be an awesome weekend for motor racing.

Can't wait.....to see how many SCs we have to ruin the race

I think the indy starts at 10am so lots of racing to watch all morning.

I absolutely love this track. Mercedes looking shady this morning so far.

Button is back!!!

Verstappen absolutely flying. Posting lap over lap besting himself.

Last sector catching everyone though.

[R154]

I gotta be honest, lewis looks like shit this morning. I'm genuinely concerned about if he will make it into q3

[R154]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[R154]

I genuinely miss Jenson. Really and truly. What a fantastic guy.

[rage2]

Alonso would've put that car 5th. Vandoorne puts the car into wall, sounds about right haha.

[speedog]

Hamilton has a monumental task ahead of him, should be a very entertaining race.

[phreezee]

Predictions for tomorrow:

Something really unlucky happens to Kimi.

Top 3 : Vettel, Bottas, Ricciardo

Hamilton finishes 6th.

Predictions for the season: Vettel wins WDC

Not everyone loves Alonso.

[schocker]

bwoah, what a lap
Just caught the tail end of Q3 this morning. Was pretty exciting. Bottas keeps getting dicked by thousandths of a second in qualy.

[R154]

I'm saying verstappen, Vettel Kimi or Vettel, verstappen, Riccardo. Unfortunately I think Ferrari will lock this out unless they for some reason have tire issues.

I don't think bottas has the drive under him or in his helmet to keep his place.

I think Hamilton will complain about the car and either lose it in and around casino or he will race competitively against the back markers and chalk it up to the car setup being shit.
