Why was the track empty for four minutes? Why didn't Nico go out and try to get pole?

They ran out of fresh tyres/ enough time to put new sets on for another run

Was that a result of the qualifying format, or allowing drivers/teams to make their own choices for how many tires of each compound they bring?

I legitimately don't understand what he's even suggesting. Is it just for the guy on pole? Because then no one would want pole. But he then says "and that will go all the way down." so I don't really get it.

So was this one worth watching? I've decided that WEC and IndyCar are as much racing as I can watch today, but was gonna watch this on Monday or something if it was good.

It was good for 2/3rds of the race, but kinda petered out at the end.

:\ F1 isn't dead, this thread truly is the worst.

The race was loving awesome from start to end and the only people who will say it wasn't are those that are only interested in wheel to wheel racing at the front, while they are playing the video game.

It's OK to admit that the race was only good for most of it, because sometimes that would be a massive improvement.

All three races this season have been good though, despite Nico running away with it each time.

Yes, and nico had track position and was on the racing line. You can't just barge someone out of the way because they are in the place you wish to be and are slightly faster than them.

If Nico was going to defend the inside he should have done it sooner. Lewis was committed to going there and Nico reacted to that and closed the door too late. Lewis, already committed, had nowhere to go and ended up off the track then into Nico's car.

Lewis may well have had to pit again running in dirty air, and is it even worth saying that Monaco is impossible to pass on?

To be fair, Ricciardo lost 10 seconds in the stop, not 5, Lewis wouldn't even have been close to him to be in dirty air until Ricciardo's tires went off at the end.

At which point he wouldn't have been able to pass because it's Monaco.
