Ver got the gold plated service from Per.

Ric started ahead of Nor and ended up nowhere - and possibly nowhere come 2023 if performance doesn’t pick up rapidly. Nor also fighting tonsillitis all weekend - and still trumped Ric.

RIC was barely circulating. Was pretty damn pathetic really, you really do have to wonder what is going on?!

I don't really blame RB for telling PER to make it easy, it's not as though he was ever going to hold VER back.

Bit late to the Monaco GP but well done Checo! Pure emotion on the podium, brilliant.

Delaying the start however...

Ferrari definitely showing some reliability issues this year. Looking more and more like a 1 horse race (pun intended).

Kimi Raikkonen quotes make for some fun reading.

Kimi Raikkonen's Hilariously Blunt Wisdom In 15 Quotes

Over the course of 20-year Formula 1 career, Kimi Raikkonen barely offered enough quotes to fill his book of haikus. But they were all gold.

Sainz with his first pole position ...... nice and sunny where I am, but will it be the same up in Bucks?

Quite the race.
First lap incidents pretty horrific.

Had a mate in the Stand directly behind where Zhou crashed. Very scary and lucky that the car didn't flip up any more.
Zhou's car ended up sideways in a 1m pathway between the catch fence and the crash barriers

This might be public.

Bit of excitement towards the end of the race too, good to see PER recover to get P2.

Wow, I am so glad I had a self-imposed media and AFF blackout before watching the race this afternoon.

Fabulous race.

The eyeballs are hanging out this evening, but happy to have stayed up!

I'm curled up in front of the TV now! Wishing I wasn't on call so could have a glass of something nice in hand

It is indeed water! The "hard stuff"

The Paul Ricard circuit does my head the way the track is painted.

Yeah, was mentioned back in April.

Last race this weekend before the summer break. VER has a pretty comfortable lead right now thanks to the unreliability of Ferrari.

Gutted to see Seb bowing out on such a low season for him - but totally get his reasons.

 

[kelvedon]

With Alonso moving to Aston Martin next year, that hopefully frees a seat for Piastri, a Renault Academy driver.

Seb’s retirement certainly has had a domino effect!
