Classic race control!

Verstapen goes over the pit exit line at Monaco 2022…ok
Verstapen goes over the starting grip line…ok

Hamilton touches the pit entry line (doesn’t go over it)…oh it’s not ok

It’s a joke… 😂

This season has improved, but this race is a stinker.

Any update on the Max and Lando pit stop? Only thing that can save the race lead

Which is funny as the track usually lends good racing with the DRS being everywhere. Wonder if the degradation is so high that they can't push without killing the tyres.

Damn this race is so bad best part was Lewis trying to keep the car from the white line to which the FIA investigated and penalised faster than the speed of light

I'd say all these regs have done is make the procession more punched up, compared to how it used to be.

But it's still a procession, with people scared to push because of tyres and most changes happening via strategy even if cars behind are a couple tenths faster than those in front.

Also, tracks that used to be at least looked forward to due to their reputation for lots of action and passing ability, are now procession races too.

Aye, great expectations but this is very dull.

Have you ever seen Verstapen getting a penalty?? 😂😂

He wasn’t getting penalties for way worse things than this…

It did seem that the DRS trains were made worse when in race engine mode switching was banned. Monza certainly seemed to suffer.

Does this 5 sec and 10 sec penalty make any sense? Where it’s needed there is no penalty but keep handling out wholesale penalties to the bottom runners!
Hopeless stewarding.

I don't agree this is a very good track to overtake on. The problem with it is it doesn't pay to break late. You actually need to brake in a way that sets up for the straight. So if you indeed brake late and overtake the car you've just overtaken will just get a better drive out of the corner and regain the position on the next straight
