Some crazy goings-on in the harbour during quali - Lance Stroll tries to park his boat?

I'm baffled. So he lost 1,5 tenths. Sainz admitted he could've done something different and that is somehow not impeding, because Albon was nice enough to call it grey? So we're now going to decide on penalties based on how nice the victim is I guess?

Forget the event in Imola. Check Perez penalty i. Melbourne. Sainz today was much worse.

Albon is already setting up the working harmony for next year.

Look at what Albon said. Smh

Isn't that the problem? Report says there was an impeding, Sainz says he could have avoided it but eventually it looks like he didn't get a penalty just because Albon said it wasn't that bad. It is debatable if Sainz's action deserves a penalty but for the sake of consistency he should have gotten one considering how things went for Oscar just a week ago.

As we all know and have issues with race after race, there is no consistency. The one penalized today is the usual big team, small team... How many think Magnussen would not have been penalized for the exact same? or Albon, or Sargeant, ot Zhou?

Were the tables turned, I doubt the outcome would be the same.

Yup. Remember Schumacher in 2004 when he struggled a little? Ironically same thing happened here 20 years later with Max.

But Schumacher qualified in P4 with more fuel than the others...

Exciting grid. Unfortunately its Monaco and it looks like it will be dry so the race is probably not going to live up to it.

When was the last time the top 4 grid slots were Ferrari and McLaren?

You'd probably have to go back to 2008 right?

Qualifying is usually the best bit of the Monaco weekend

Are they serious or have they not noticed the lawsuits?

It’s the fans who should decide the importance not some pundit and three casino suits. Two of which aren’t actual “casino bosses” as billed. Sure we’ve got a spherical 8k billboard, replicas of the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty and fat Elvis but no F1 racing heritage. Monaco is the historic era, Vegas is the cash grab era. As poor as the racing is most of the years at Monaco the history should be respected.
