I see the Merc now has sidepods!

I hope it works!

My god how much I’d love to see a 1-2 this weekend…. 

fretmeister

Me too.

It would be as exciting as when I discovered the lingerie section of the C&A catalog when I was 12.

fretmeister

Fingers crossed!

Looks a tad conservative compared to RB and Aston RB Still it's got to be evolution not revolution for them.

Here's hoping Alonso or Checo can stop the Max train this weekend but I think the flying dickhead will be out to prove a point after last year and his paranoia over Perez. Saturday at Monaco is one of my fave race days of the season cos the race is usually shite!

Monaco practice on a Friday? It's against nature...

Definitely.

The cars are just too damn big for the circuit now. It's always been a place for non-fans to ponce around, but it gets worse every year and the racing gets worse there every year too.

I'll be watching the qualy as that is great, but I'll probably watch the Barbarians rugby game on Sunday instead as it clashes.

Me voluntarily missing a race is also the best way to make it an awesome race, the most exciting of the last decade! You're welcome!

We’ll be thinking of you.

Good FP1. Ham looking fairly happy with the new Merc bits, Alonso at the sharp end and Max unhappy. Great stuff!

FOM TV have done a great job with the new camera angles (TV no longer produced by local Monaco tv company). Cars actually look fast, helicopter shots, yeah!

Red Flag - Sainz in the wall.

Ferrari are looking strong though.

A bit premature, Sticky!

Mind you, the Quali is going to be exciting, probably more so than the race.

Oh Checo…

Also HOW BLOODY BRILLIANT IS JAMES VOWLES?!  

I’d like him doing explaining every race please!

Bastard bastard bastard bastard! 

But what a lap. There’s no arguing against that

Even as a Max non/anti fan : what a display of talent.

Brilliant quali session. 

FML @ McLaren. 

Cols

Well, fuck.

Top job by Ocon though.

Max's qualifying wheels... Right front & rear!! 

chillidoggy

Bugger me, that was superb, edge of my seat! Where did Max pull that one from?

Unless someone gets the drop on him at the start of the race………
