Max making one of his rare mistakes. He has a big task tomorrow...

LEC on pole, but I also think PIA was very stong in all sessions.
It's gonna be an interesting race where strategy will be very important. Lets hope no crashes or mechanical troubles.

MAX : The car was so slippery ...

As I said : The RB20 is not a Monaco car .

Everything is still possible for the race , yellow flags , SC , and pitstop strategy..

Congrats for Charlie with his pole. He was lightning fast !

Same here and those mods definitely suit his Ferrari here, for quali anyway
Fred will keeping an eye on ferrarithings not to happen at pit stop time, but he's not the strat man.............

The weekend isn’t over, but it’s three races in a trough that the Red Bull splendour is missing. Likewise, the championship is only 1/3 down, but I had Red Bull running away with it. I think Montreal long straights suit Red Bull, but McLaren did pretty good in Miami. Is it too early to say 2025 will be anybody’s championship ?

I would like to see Sainz in Checo's seat

The 2024 season start looked like Checo was improving ..
But in the last 2 races he screwed it completely up

Checo is P18 in the Monaco qualifying !

BTW : Congrats for Charlie

MAX is at the 3th row and has the Russell boy on his side ...

Yeah ,as we know the MAX factor is always extremely strong . But overtaking at Monaco that's like a mission impossible ...
But we never know at Monaco , with a yellow flag or a SC (!)
Of course ,as usual there's also the RB pit strategy and knowing 'Hannah Schmitz eyes are GOLD ...

Charlie vs Piastri to get turn 1 ...
Can't wait to see that !

This. HS will be wanting to impress especially here and I'm sure her intuition will be working overtime to get MAX up the grid.
PIA is looking for his first win also to match NOR and for sure he couldn't give an XXX for Charlie's desperate quest to get a home win.

Gene will be fuming that someone didn't measure up properly, FIA is so strict now on measurements, it only needs to be a hair's breadth out and they penalise you.

Gene doesn't care!!! He is just in F1 for the money....A$$CAR is his only concern.

Hope Charlie can break the curse

His starts haven't been great lately

That doesn't exactly ring true...

"It’s an open secret within the garage that Stewart-Haas Racing co-owners Tony Stewart and Gene Haas are contemplating selling the four charters they own."

"A new report has revealed that Stewart-Haas Racing’s tenure in the Cup Series could be coming to a close."
