Should be an interesting qualifying session soon, something tells me Mercedes will find that extra pace once they crank that PU into qualifying mode.

That was a seriously epic lap... totally out of nowhere and nobody expected it.

I reckon there is a bit more in the reserves on that engine too. Even the other race when Alonso turned the wick right up for a lap "to have some fun" he was matching Mercedes times.

I really really really really really really really really really hope Dan can get a win tomorrow.

Monaco is a great leveller of a track. This is Dan's best opportunity of the year.

I hope redbull haven't screwed up again with strategy, Dan is starting on super softs and the merc boys ultras. If it doesn't rain than it's very likely this strategy will put him behind at least 1 merc but most likely both after he has pitted. There is no way you can pass two Mercedes on this track, really hope I'm wrong & I'm just not seeing something with this strategy.

I haven't seen a lot of live f1 this year and normally I look forward to Monaco.

Unfortunately a 5:30am start thus morning plus a bottle of red with dinner and I'm bloody struggling.

actually wet monaco was fun in previous times, i forgot that f1 has become pussy 1 and they probably will be behind the safety car until its almost dry

Fucking Hamilton cheating and cutting the chicane every single lap, not to mention running Ricciardo off track with no penalty.

There's no chance for Dan... shafted by his team again.

Yep two taces in a row now rbr have fucked dan over. How lewis wasn't penalized for the corner cut and not letting dan through is unbelievable.

The fact the European F1 race is being held in a tiny corrupt authoritarian state in Asia shows that (oil) money talks...

I was watching a bit of qualifying last night as i was falling asleep on the couch... and I swear they said that one particular street which is normally cobblestones was tarred over for the race only to be ripped back up again next week... did I hear that right?

But yeah it should be the Arabian GP..Azerbajian (sp?) isn't even in Europe.
