They pitted for mediums as it was raining and others were putting for inters

That was their whole loving strategy, and they biffed it

Yeah but they wouldn't have gained a place if they got it right and didn't lose a place getting it wrong.

I'm confused by the posters who think this was a good race: Bad Man still won, rain did nothing, passing minimal as usual.

Qualifying was great though.

loving 10 mins before rain and ferrari pit sharl for mediums when max is still out there on 45 lap old mediums

Leaving carlos out there to slid around instead of pitting one lap sooner.

Just caught up. Bin man race from Perez wow. How did he not get a penalty for the off track pass on Stroll? The stewards said he voluntarily gave it back but that was only because he ran into the back of Magnussen lol.

If you have a 5s penalty to serve and you get fastest lap on the last lap of the race, does that lap have 5s added to it taking away your fastest lap? Or does the 5s just get added to your total race time?

Other than the train being a bit full and smushed today on the way home, zero downside. They also added like 70 extra trains everyday or some poo poo too. But like from time race ended to time I an sitting down in Nice eating gelato is under 2 hours which beats the Austin experience by far. I guess you miss the chance of running into a driver by chance on wednesday night or some poo poo but I would absolutely do Nice again if I were going.

The sun is ridiculously hot though without cover even at 73°. Friday and Saturday we had seats in the top row of L and T3 respectively and had shade/cover the whole day, also top row means you can stand up during the event to stretch without ushers yelling at you. We were in K today which is the main big stretch of grandstand and completely uncovered and the sun really is bad, and I lived for years in San Jose as well as have been to Vegas for work in the summer multiple times. I absolutely recommend trying to get a shaded seating arrangement. I would not sit in K again for example, even if it had a really good view of the track.

Also overall the production for local people including PA announcers and TV and sound and everything around the city was so much better than Austin. Food was half the price and much better quality of selection while also being deliverable to your seat in a reasonable amount of time.

total race time, so if you're 20s ahead of the next guy it's 15s instead

I was in Monaco at Grand Prix time one year and we stopped at a cafe for lunch that could see cars going by through gaps in the advertising. Was very surprised that lunch was like 15 euro even with a beer.

That’s super helpful, thanks. Are you able to walk around/explore Monaco/the area at all (ie like Austin), or is everything just so cramped/tight that you’re essentially limited to a small area around your paid-for seating area?

The actual race days are more limited to just where you get funneled, but you can do in and out to grab a bite at a cafe like said above if you want to skip porsche or whatever. We went in to monaco on tuesday and had like free reign to walk basically anywhere behind all the guardrails and stuff. We got some walking track tour that I think was worth, but you also can 100% walk around the whole track and pop out for shot looking up beau revage and poo poo np. I have a bunch of random pics around the place. It def felt way more open than Austin imo.

Also my understanding is that after the race events every day abd people clear out the place opens up more. But we only stuck around one night for a nice dinner, mostly wanted to get back to nice for the stuff there which was real nice (heh)
