If Leclerc keeps pole, I think this race will be an absolute cracker. I would expect Mercedes and Red Bull to have much better race pace than Ferrari, but obviously it is not easy to overtake around Monaco, and we could have a repeat of 1992. And we know from the 2019 race that Verstappen isn't afraid to have a go when stuck behind a slower leader around Monaco, although Red Bull might dissuade him from attacking Leclerc seeing as they have a chance to take big points off Hamilton anyway. What will be even more exciting is if Bottas can pass Verstappen at the start, because then the top three will be in reverse order of pace, and we could have the race we were robbed of in 2011.

Damn. That means max drives into the distance. Shame for the race, I was really hoping for a Ferrari win here

Odd paradox here that the best way for Mercedes to limit the damage to Hamilton's title challenge is to use him as a support to Bottas's race. Poor Bottas, even when he's #1 he's the #2!

Early considerations.
Mick for driver of the race. Not Ferrari for team. |

Was thinking the same. Nice move there by Mick.
Still at a loss about Ferrari. I get taking the risk because you want to hold onto pole but at the same time, failing to take the start is, from an operational stand point, is a major major fail. Grounds for dismissal? |

The right front is stuck on Bottas's car.

And they decided to show an in car replay at the wrong time and had to cut away from it, because Max pitted.

RBR timed that right, with Perez pitting and emerging in 4th.

Hamilton is absolutely furious, with good reason.

How come Mazepin is ahead of Schumacher? Seemed to be the case before the pitstop Schumacher has just had.

And/or did Hamilton suggest on one of his messages that he'd been protecting the tires to go long but was brought in earlier than expected? |
