Hell of a ramp from Lewis there, did well to keep that out of the wall. Prolly still damaged the floor.


Announcers said it best. "I haven't seen a red car fly like that since Dukes of Hazard"

Lewis' back is too old to be taking that kind of hit. He'll be sore for a few days.

Even for Stroll that made no sense.

Didn't check his mirrors and for some reason decided to take a 45 degree angle across the track, I guess to try to find the line to make the hairpin, which he wouldn't have been in position to make if Charles hadn't smacked him back into the line.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to defend Stroll here. It was just terrible timing all around. Stroll got out of the way of one guy and needed to get back to the outside because there's no way he could have made the turn from the inside.

Also note, the approach to the Loews Hairpin curves left, as you can see in the video. He would not have seen Shaarl coming, so if he wasn't told on the radio that there were two cars coming at speed, then I don't think he did anything wrong, it was just unfortunate timing.

Ferrari looking good.

I still think the mandated second pit stop might hurt them. It's easy to imagine McLaren and Red Bull outsmarting them.

The radio playback was bang bang. Team told him, but the wreck was already happening.

I dont know if things improved, but a few years ago the teams talked about how they don't always have radio contact and the telemetry skips a lot due to the buildings and crowd.

Stroll docked one grid position. He said he didn't hear the radio message about Shaarl. I think that's fair.

Bearman docked 10 grid positions for passing Sainz under a red flag!

Who predicted Bearman near the bottom of the order? You're in good shape.

I had him at P15. Looks like I need him to qualify well and the team not botch the pits.

McLaren stops last week were shaky, several over 3 seconds

Ah, Monaco.

Welp, this is pretty much the race right here. Maybe pit stops will make it interesting, but I've always wished that they'd drive special, smaller Monaco cars for this one. I don't think altering the track would go over very well.

It's still my number one race destination, though.
