That was a rubbish crash from Ericsson. :lol:

God it looks so pathetic :lol:

That corner :shock:

Yeah the surface on that corner's falling to bits it seems.

Come on Botas

Sure that was Perez fault?

Except for the Wehrlein and Button crash that was frigging dull

If Raikkonen keeps beating vettel in qualifying but keeps getting asked to let vettel through it's going to be really unfair on him.

Well that was all a bit of a fake race in the end. Could be a big own goal given a lot of European F1 fans will be watching the 500 tonight with Alonso taking part. Nobody will be gifted a win there that's for sure!

Monaco is usually a bit dull, but the sensitive front wing aero coupled with overly conservative Pirelli tyres has lead to some truly boring races this year.

Monaco is usually rubbish. Canada is next though \o/

Do we know that actually happened? Ricardo did the same thing to Verstapen and Botas (I.e. passed in the pit stop), I doubt they were asked to let him through.

Hasn't Botas had to let Hamilton pass twice this season?

Yes he has at least once. I said the same thing then as well. Raikkonen could easily out qualify vettel in most remaining races. It's always a bit risky to start with team orders early in the season. Sometimes the believed number one driver isn't always the right choice.

I don't think we should assume that in this race the pass between Vettel and Raikonnen was engineered. Maybe Vettel simply put in faster laps when needed.

Indy 500 about to start on the stream above chaps.

It's also on BT Sport ESPN.

It's a long way to go...

Alonso is 4th at the moment.

Go Alonso! :toot:

Wait, we cut away from the live race for driver profiles? :lol:
