Don't forget we also have the Indy 500 this weekend. I guarantee it'll be more exciting than Monaco.

I’ll likely watch both, and both will be boring.

ETA: Monaco qualifying is always a lot of fun, though.

Monaco this year is a mandatory two pit stop race. Could lead to a lot more strategy in the race.

I'll watch both. I'm not hating on Monaco too. I love that race. The Indy 500 will just be better - guaronteed.

I have no idea how to predict this race. With two required pit stops it gets a little more interesting because I don't see anyone just running away and hiding at Monaco.

It feels so strange predicting two Williams cars in the top 10. Vowles has done an amazing job with that team.

As in “people dying” carnage. That’s not so great.

Two stops means more things that can go wrong, which means Ferrari is going to botch something, either strategy, or physically at one of the pit stops. So I'm going to rank them accordingly.

Also Sainz, despite outqualifying Albon on a regular basis now, they keep botching his race. With two stops, they're going to find a way to screw him again.

etc., etc...

Sainz radio message was perfect. Williams knew they screwed it up then basically let Sainz accidently know.

Which one was that exactly?
I seem to remember hearing them tell him something about Alex’s lap times?

They gave Alex a target lap time of 21.9 just a couple laps after they brought Sainz in. Instead of telling Alex they told Sainz though.

Sainz deduced that Alex was on a 1 stop and his own strategy was shot.

This one will really be a crap-shoot.

20th place should come in lap 1 go to hards then pit for another set of hards first caution.

Everyone ahead SHOULD be forced to pit again, maybe you get lucky.

If there were a tire advantage in Monaco multiple pitstops would matter, but it is strictly track position and luck on pit timing.

Just coming down to dont mess up the pitstop and gamble on cautions.
