I usually like Monaco but that race was awful. Apart from Lewis being a whiney bitch.

Rules are clear:What are people's thoughts on the Redbull flexy wing? Having watched the video and read the rules I reckon it is a case of Merc and maybe others whining because they didn't think of it themselves. To enact a rule change midway to apply a new test is bullshit. The rules simply state that the wing must withstand a load of xN and not deflect. While the intent is most likely that wings don't deflect under load if you give a set criterion and at some other positions the wing does something else then your rule is at fault not that the manufacturer is cheating. Personally I couldn't give a flying fuck if the wings did a fandango at speed as long as they meet the incredibly prescriptive rules laid out before the season started. The other teams were critical of racing point wanting the aero changes reviewed because they stuffed up and yet this is not much different... No fan of Max or Redbull but squeezing anything others haven't to gain a competitive advantage is part of the sport. I mean let's handicap Merc for the last 6 years for having the best engine?????
Plus I reckon Ferarri has a few revenge points in the bag to throw RBs way after the whole flow sensor "incident" from 2018 they are still recovering from. Fingers crossed red bull are fked because the shoe is 100% on the other foot.Rules are clear:
Article 3.8 of the Technical Regulations requires all components influencing the car’s aerodynamic performance to be “rigidly secured to the entirely sprung part of the car”, and to “remain immobile in relation to the sprung part of the car”.
Elsewhere in the rules, the FIA adds it “reserves the right to introduce further load/deflection tests on any part of the bodywork which appears to be (or is suspected of) moving whilst the car is in motion.”
It's not the first time this sort of thing has happened either.
Freudian slip.Vestappen? Yes... good to see Lewis run out of track at the end. Still wondering how Alonso picked up 6 spots in the restart.
Stroll's crash in particular was a nasty one. Pirelli seem to be slipping back into their dodgy QC ways.i dont dislike hamilton but im glad he didnt profit from max's misfortune, keeps the front of the title race competitive. must be terrifying to have a tyre blow out going flat out down the straight.
Nah, just some random out of context overtaking that initially made me think Ricciardo had overtaken Norris, but it was not to be.It sounds like the McLarens had a bit of a tussle back in the opening laps with Norris and Ricciardo swapping positions a couple of times but I don't think we got to see any of that?
The 2 tyre failures and subsequent crashes I think illustrate what a good job Nigel Mansell did at Adelaide in 1986 when he managed to keep his Williams pointing in the right direction after his tyre failure.Stroll's crash in particular was a nasty one.
Mansell can be a bit of a dick sometimes but I've always been a fan. No other driver could rock a 'tache like him!The 2 tyre failures and subsequent crashes I think illustrate what a good job Nigel Mansell did at Adelaide in 1986 when he managed to keep his Williams pointing in the right direction after his tyre failure.
And I am by no means a Mansell fan.
Aw c'mon, Mansell was a demon on the overtakes and racing hard yet fairly. Unfortunately also turned into a total flog out of the car but semantics. Still awesome.The 2 tyre failures and subsequent crashes I think illustrate what a good job Nigel Mansell did at Adelaide in 1986 when he managed to keep his Williams pointing in the right direction after his tyre failure.
