Bruno Famin was just on French TV calling out Ocon as a moron.

Ocon has a history of racing his teammates harder than opponents.

Yet another mistake by Stroll after Alonso gave him a free pit stop

Congratulations to Leclerc and Ferrari.

Magnussen single handily ruin any entertainment value this race had.

I am a fan of this Monaco race but they really need make the cars smaller and add at least one pass zone on this circuit.

Nice to see LeClerc win.

Ocon is a moron. He’s shouldn’t have a seat next year, in my opinion.

Or at least require a pit stop at Monaco vs just a tire change.

This GP win was so special, not just because Ferrari won it and had a double podium, but because how it meant to much to Charles and all of Monaco! Did you hear what Charles said in the cool down room? If you missed it, he said his vision was going away, supposedly because he was tearing up, because he knew he was going to win it, finally.

Charles got emotional in the interview, Prince Albert was crying, the track marshals were crying and hugs for Charles on the podium when he received his trophy.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, in years past, the drivers were asked to wait for the Royals to vacate the stage before they sprayed champagne, but today, they Royals not only didn't vacate, but Prince Albert got his own bottle to spray and was a part of it all before taking a big swig right out of the bottle himself!!! Great day for Ferrari and F1!!!

Ok, how about from Horner as well then https://www.planetf1.com/news/adrian...ami-grand-prix

“Adrian’s focus is very much now on the RB17,” he said after the Miami Grand Prix, referring to the Red Bull-developed hypercar that is Newey’s brainchild, and the department to which he has been assigned until his contract comes to an end.

“He’s not sat in any briefings over the weekend, other than the race strategy.

“He has no access to any data, he’s not drawing parts, and his focus is now on RB17 until the end of his [notice].


“He’ll be at some races between now and the end of the year, primarily where we have RB17 customers.”


Happy for Charles, brutal race to watch.

It pains me to say this, but in the modern era, Monaco is a complete snooze fest. Almost zero passing and basically most either running to a set time because they know that way they can’t be passed and saving tyres, or deliberately slowing portions of the field down so that a teammate can gain a pit stop advantage.

Time to get rid of it for a modern, wide exciting track where there’s DRS zones and other passing opportunities.

I am super glad that LeClerc won at home though.

Also very happy for LeClerc!
But other than the first lap shenanigans, it was boring even for a parade.
Hammy/Verstappen pitstops added the only chance for excitement, but none materialized.
I counted 2 on-track passes. There may have been more, but I might have been asleep....

It's time to let the Monaco GP go. It's lost its cachet.

Congrats to Leclerc! You can tell it meant a lot to him and the principality.

Was definitely a snooze fest of a race.

Is Piastri the next Kimi? He is unflappable. He just seems so cool. He finishes second and it doesn’t seem to affect him.

Perez is in big trouble. Because of his results Red Bull is only 24 points ahead of Ferrari.
