With the ongoing rain, that has to be the final classification. Great work by Hulkenberg and Alonso. Verstappen delivering as expected.
Unless the rain stops before the track is green flagged again. But it currently looks like it would take more than 7 minutes to form a dry line again, even if the rain stopped right now.
Q3 with lots of rain and getting worse
Who had Hulk starting P2 then?
I know that this post is for the full weekend. Could we still have a separate race discussion? I think this would make it a bit better to keep an overview.
Is it 0% chance of race before and during the race or just during?
I recall the weather prediction a few days ago said rain during the race is unlikely but there could be rain a few hours beforehand.
Probably just me but this thread wasn't easy to find on chrome android or jerboa, even though it's pinned?
Yeah, pinning a comment seems pretty meaningless at the moment because Lemmy doesn't seem to be respecting the pinned status.
Russel has to retire with break issues
Max for the first time this season had to push to not get caught. Alonso and later Hamilton with the mediums had practically the same pace as him. It was a shame that Alonso didn’t had a new set of medium tyres and the issues with the rear brakes, he was faster than Hamilton when they had the same compound. The 33 is coming. 😎 Russell made a good comeback after the crash, having to retire the car was very harsh after all he did to get into the points again.
Brundle was honest - he noted how far ahead Max would be if the race was clean without incidents. So in pure race pace that would be at least 10s faster than the next two teams.
I'm all for Alonso this season with his stupendous performance, but Max and RB's package is still the package to beat. AM need to be smarter to beat RB and Merc later into the season. Sucks that Alo's strongest performance yet was hindered by a rear braking issue.
If you wanna see how fast Max is, just compare him vs Checo...
Alonso has to lift and coast, and de La Rosa in the Spanish broadcast hints that he has to save fuel due to the high race pace.
Mercedes said in the radio that it was because of his rear brakes. Good race for him overall anyway, the upgrades are working!
🟥 Red flag. Ocon stopped with some mechanical issue, told to stop the car by radio.
How do the marshal's know when to show their flags. Are they connected to audio to F1 central?
Oh I almost forgot we were in RAWE CEEK! Came here to see that the sessions are already going to be very wet. Hope not another one gets put into red flag hell again...
Classic Alpine
Could turn into a tough weekend for Ferrari with both cars (probably) starting outside the top 10.
Albon goes off-track, and to avoid the new wall, he has to cross the grass.
What's French for "clutch"? I don't know, and it appears Alpine don't either.
Red flag, Piastri on the wall as Hülkenberg gets P2
Not a great weekend start for Gasly and Alpine. Car sounded awful.
monaco marshalls would have cleared the track in a couple of seconds by raising that car by hands
