He would have probably got into Q3 in eighth or ninth. Getting better for sure.

Only caught Q3 but the comms reckon Jenson might have made the top ten if he hadn't been slowed up by a yellow flag. Progress of sorts I suppose.

He had a great shout but Rosberg going off ended his chances (Lewis can help him deal with that kind of thing...)

Alonso had a mechanical failure at the start of Q2.

Lewis looked off colour in the first 2 but only managed to get 3 or 4 timed laps in due to traffic. Nailed it in Q3 and probably would have edged Nico anyway.

Button will start 10th.

Sainz penalised for missing a weight check and will start from the pit lane and Grosjean has a grid penalty for changing his gearbox.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That is a fairly hefty punishment for Sainz there.

That is a fairly hefty punishment for Sainz there.

Apparently you used to get disqualified and couldn't race at all.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I thought I heard Brundle say that in the commentary. That seems brutally harsh. Clearly an oversight by Sainz as he hasn't seen the bloke flagging him into the weighbridge but I would be staggered if it was a deliberate attempt to cheat.

Fortunately the cricket is on so I have something else to do with my time. Classic Monaco

 

[Freddeno]

Dont like the monaco race, boring with almost zero takeovers as usual..

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I love the scenery of the Monaco track but it just is virtually impossible to overtake. Could do with a bit of rain to make things entertaining.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Since they've taken DRS out the tunnel it is a impossible.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ouch - that was a big impact

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And that has completely compromised Hamilton's race. Fuckstix.

 

[PuntsWolf]

I swear Merc do shit like this too often?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Massive fuck up. Epic levels of stupidity by the team.

 

[PuntsWolf]

It's not the first time.

 

[Kenny]

Unbelievable decision.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Lewis is going to be fucking livid about that decision

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He might not even get third here, in a race he was winning by fucking miles.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

It will be interesting to hear the reason behind that decision by the Mercedes team.

 

[PuntsWolf]

It doesn't make any sense. Even if his tires were fucked they weren't going to get past him
