pressure to a mistake possibly? ham has nothing to lose, max has everythingDunlay wrote: β26 May 2024, 17:43If Max couldn't overtake George with faster car, how could Lewis have overtaken Max with a slower car, even with newer tyres, assuming Max couldn't pit? It was so predictable that no one can overtake here
No margin for error but no risk of errors when you are driving so slow. Ridiculous "race", lets end this yearly procession or let Ecclestone wet the track when there is no rain. Happy for Charles though.DiogoBrand wrote: β26 May 2024, 17:36People somehow acting surprised that Monaco is boring
TBH, at least the 4 cars in front driving so close together with no margin for error made it somewhat exciting. Other than that, no less exciting than should be expected.
What issue? I think Max drained his battery chasing down russel, but dont think there was a issue? GP told him after 2-3 laps of trying to back off, cool brakes and go for fastest lap. But never materialised.atanatizante wrote: β26 May 2024, 17:49The race was so slow that Hamilton just went to take a shower up on his apartment and then fully refreshed did that fastest lap of the race ...
On a serious note had that VER didn't had that ERS issue could've set the fastest lap? We`d never know, would it?

How does one even determine something like that? Nobody showed sustained pace - far too many reasons to lap at reduced pace
There was nothing there, it's Monaco. Just a bad excuse to be angry at Russell.cplchanb wrote: β26 May 2024, 17:48pressure to a mistake possibly? ham has nothing to lose, max has everything
Yeah, that's certainly not true. LEC's engineer was telling LEC to stop opening the gap and instead race at the same pace as RUS to make sure no undercut was even possible, just in case they wanted to pit.
Yeap! A special track needs a special strategy: either a mandatory 2-stop race or just starting on the soft tyre that drivers set the fastest lap in Q3, like they did before in the recent past ....
