It's going to be a strategy strawberry float up that does it for him.

I hope not though. It would be nice to see Leclerc win here.

People constantly saying F1 does not need Monaco and its not suitable for current F1. The problem is the size of the current F1 cars they are far to big the tracks not the problem its the cars far to big they are just as big as LMP1 and Hypercars. Back in the day when F1 cars were smaller and more nimble was not as a big problem as people whine about and who want to get rid of Monaco. They would prefer Miami over Monaco :fp:

Yeah, even the 2009-13 spec cars were a lot racier round here and they weren’t small cars either, they’d be best qualifying and getting points for qualifying and then racing in Clios or something, F1 has outgrown Monaco and they don’t want to do anything about it, the qualifying session is still one of the best of the year.

Mbappé not having it :lol: this grid walk is just full on cringe :fp:

The cars have outgrown Monaco and it has always produced single file races where the start and first corner is important

It's always a shock when you point out that F1 cars are currently over 5.5m long and 2m wide to casual fans. Even F2 cars are over 5m long now. :dread:

I strawberry floating loathe these grid walks with Brundle.

It’s ridiculous how big the cars are now, they’re meant to be going a little bit smaller in 2026 I think? Not that it’ll help much.

The grid walls are a car crash at the best of times, never mind with celebs who aren’t interested, at least a few spoke today which is a plus!

I'm not even a Ferrari fan, but I feel nervous for Charles.

This helps Leclerc, as he can go on hards and doesn't have to worry about Ferrari costing him on strategy. Screws Mercs and Max but not like they had any chance today anyway.
