What happened to gasly in last few races ?

[Burt Macklin 19230]

Leclerc was just plain faster than everyone today. He was .4 up on his 11.3 when the red flag hit. He might’ve beat the field by half a second if no red flag. He’s the best qualifier on the grid and will probably go down as one of the best ever if Ferrari can keep giving him a competitive car. 
 

Now we get to wait and see how Ferrari/Charles’ Monaco curse fuck this up. A chaotic rain race seems the most likely.

He’s been saying he can’t lay down the power because the backend is too squirrelly at other tracks. He had pace for top 6 if he didn’t get fucked over in Q1 today. Alpha Tauri’s strategy team might be the worst in all of F1. I’ll never forget him being the only car in full wets at Imola in 2021.

Leclerc was actually 6 1/2 tenths up on his pole lap when the red flag happened. I wish we could’ve seen the whole thing. The rest of the field had no chance.

He’s driving at another level right.  Reliability and the usual Ferrari fuckups are the only thing in his path right now.  It was impressive seeing how he was destroying the field last week in person until…

Still hurts. That engine blowout was almost as costly as both of Max’s combined. A 33 point swing plus an engine penalty later in the year versus Max’s 2 DNF’s costing him 36 points but no penalties later.

where r the pitgirls tho

[VABuckeye 2481]

I looked.  There were some beauties in the Paddock Club but I'm just not that bold.

Monaco is the ideal track for Ferrari with how good they are in the slow corners.  The Red Bulls looks smoother on the track, but the Ferrari's still corner a lot better.

Ferrari showed nothing on their screens.

Watching qualifying this morning with my kid. Albon had gone out early and had at-the-time the second fastest lap.

My kid: Oh daddy look. The car with the W next to it is number 2. I thought they had the slowest car.

The boy doesn’t watch a lot of racing but even he knows that the Williams don’t have a chance. 

[ChickenSandwich 9960]

They have top men working day and night to catch back up with the pack.

Clouds are thickening up, boys and girls!

[McCroskey 1510]

Can’t see the mountain anymore. 20 degrees cooler than it was a couple hours ago.

[ConferenceRoom 6214]

Jon Snow in the house.

[ConferenceRoom 6214]

Patrick Dempsey saxes the day. Love that guy.

[Captainant 28561]

Too windy to go fishing this morning, glad there's an awesome race to watch instead

Edit: a wet Monaco is going to be a wild race, gonna be a hell of a show

Raining hard enough now the track will be wet if it keeps up for about 10-15 mins

Gonna be interesting for sure.  I’m excited 

[Burt Macklin 19230]

Stop got dam raining! 
 

[RPM 26637]

It's wetter than South Austin's Mom on rodeo weekend.

[ConferenceRoom 6214]

Inters going on, formation lap delayed.

[pops 7142]

Race director fucking shit up. Shocked. 

[ConferenceRoom 6214]

Charlie Whiting please come back.

[Captainant 28561]

Lots of chaos with all the tire changes and shifting weather conditions! Funny hearing the announcers as annoyed as us with the race delays

[pops 7142]

Princess Charlene should show her solidarity with the drivers and stand out in the rain.

Brundle with the snarky “maybe it will be dry tomorrow.”

[kevwun 16441]

It's like they haven't looked at a weather forecast all week.

This new guy has made some questionable decisions so far. Yesterday’s red flag in qualifying was totally unnecessary. 

[ConferenceRoom 6214]

I predict a coming together at the chicane, or at least someone(s) going into the runoff.

[ConferenceRoom 6214]

This new guy has made some questionable decisions so far. Yesterday’s red flag in qualifying was totally unnecessary. 

A marshal, on his own, waved a red flag on track so it had to be red flagged.

Doesn’t change your point, the race directors have been abysmal the last few years.

[kevwun 16441]

Mazepin might have ended up in the harbor today.

[Captainant 28561]

Red flag already during formation. Heck!

[pops 7142]

This is like watching Tom herman coach. 

[ConferenceRoom 6214]

This is dumb.

[PittsburghTiger 6346]

Chaos

You are being generous assuming that he’d get that far around the course 

[Captainant 28561]

Why even have extreme wet tires if you won't race in extreme wet conditions lol. Sooooo much chaos!

[kevwun 16441]

Once this cell passes, it should be driveable.  There's too much water on the track right now.  The curbs are acting like gutters.

[Prepuce of Doom 21288]

It'll be interesting to see how NASCAR race control inevitably one-ups this foolishness later today.

Competition Yellows Baby!

[ConferenceRoom 6214]

They aren’t even getting ready to race.

[PittsburghTiger 6346]

This is really messing with ESPN’s talking head scheduling 

[ConferenceRoom 6214]

Gasly is rightfully pissed. Equalizing conditions being wasted.

[TonyTexas 10775]

Announcers had no idea that was Russell Wilson and Ciara. Oh, and Ciara is muy caliente. 

[Prepuce of Doom 21288]

F1 really seems to just want to give the middle finger to IndyCar and all the fans of the other two races today.

At least I'm less annoyed by the prospect of Monaco no longer being held on the same day as the 500 and 600 if this how stupid things have become. 

[kevwun 16441]

It's really stupid that there is no plan on when they are going to start the race.  No one has any idea what conditions they are waiting for.
