Haven't read the OP yet but I'm sure it's good. Just want to catch up on the last 2 pages of drivel from the off season thread.

As an aside, I'm watching the '89 Japan and '89 Adelaide races on Foxtel. How awesome is that!!

That was a good Quali!! FORZA FERRARI FORZA SEBASTIANO VETTELE

I'm struggling to actually watch the cars on track while they're on their hot laps, that 200m mini sector timer is pretty distracting. There are tooooooo many on screen graphics, although I can appreciate that they are trying to explain what all the different colours mean.

That was a good and cool race. Ferrari strategy flaws showing through already with Raikonnen, clearly a silly decision not to bring him in early imo.

Why don't you like him? I'm hoping you say something as mindless as 'ugly' so I can just dismiss you as an idiot.

Two reasons: I'm jealous of the fact that he's a loving 19 year old driving the 3rd best car on the grid in Formula 1; I'm a tifoso and I hate anyone who isn't/wasn't a Ferrari driver. If they hired him to race for them tomorrow I'd suck his dick on the spot.

Also his lips are too wide for his ugly face.

I don't think I'll watch the race and Live Post this race, but key take outs from the last couple of days are:
- It was funny seeing everyone going "gently caress me Bottas is poo poo" to "gently caress me Bottas is not so bad I suppose, that's his first pole, guys"
- "That's my first pole, guys"
- Renault in the top 10 was surprising but gently caress Jollyold Palmer being in the other Renault, pay drivers are the worst
- Tony Montana, I know you think you can say and do whatever you want on this forum, but as a fellow Italian living in Australia, tone it down a notch, Jesus! The schtick'a getting pretty banal. Let's all just be friends with lovely opinions!
- Stroll still poo poo
- Kimi likewise
- It's pretty cool that Alonso is doing the Indy, I hope he does really well and doesn't die again

Forza Vettel Forza Ferrari!

Actually, looking at Carlos' camera at 2:40 it was Stroll being shite as I first thought and his grid penalty is deeply unfair. Carlos was on the exactly the right line you take after exiting the pits and Stroll simply didn't give him enough room.

Am I wrong for putting full faith in the race steward for handing out correct punishment there? As much as I dislike the guy, Stroll was just taking his line, and Sainz who would have seen him ahead, decided to dive bomb the corner. Which really pissed me off because Sainz was supposed to be my big positions gain from the GP predictor. Stupid poo poo.

I may be misremembering both.

I need your help. I'm going to be running a competition on the 28th regarding all three races, and I need a description of the Monaco GP (such as history, why it's important, etc) for the eventual thread OP. Best submission one will get featured in it (and perhaps some bonus points for it)! PM me, or if you don't have plat, quote this post with your submission. Thank you!

I reckon it was either 2015 or 2016, but the thread goons contributed to their own F1 thread OP that year. I think my submission was the Monaco GP? I can't remember and I don't have archives to check so....

Never mind, I found it, 2015:

Monaco (written by aequalis)



First GP - 1950
Number of Laps - 78
Circuit Length - 3.34 km
Lap Record - 1:14.439 (Michael Schumacher - 2004)

The Monaco GP is the second race of the "European Season" before the F1 circus goes to the European nation of Canada. Long touted as one of THE historic races to win - alongside the British, Italian and Belgian GPs - Monaco is a track that tends to be dominated by one driver during years of supremacy (Graham Hill, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher). The circuit is not a stranger to heart break and controversy however, with a string of fatal accidents during its early years, and a string of naughty cheating Germans trying to cheat their way into Pole positions in the nought-ies. The narrow, armco-lined nature of the circuit has a tendency to produce either extremely boring, processional races, or spectacular cock-ups (usually from lovely pay drivers) resulting in multi car pile ups and lengthy safety car periods.

The prestigious circuit passes through the Casino lined streets of Monte Carlo, this round of the F1 season is trying for the drivers, in which their mettle is truly tested. As a spectator, this round is a true gamble, but sometimes it pays off.

NB - some of the minor league open wheeled series tend to have races before the F1 main event, and getting some online footage of those races is a must.
