Nearly 2.5 tons, that is a laugh no? Will weigh 1000lbs more than an F90.

It was so silly, I think something about exactly how fast Charlie was and Bozzo told him to forget it.

Charlie was wanting to go faster to keep heat in his tires. But Ferrari didn’t want to give Noris room to pit and come out still in front of Russell. One of the reasons the race was so boring. Too many managing tires.

As we know , Sainz locked completely up in the first lap .
And Sainz was I think thrown to P20 at that moment ?
Then we got the big crash from Checo , Kmag and the Hulk .

The Red flag was a fact ..Race was stopped completely.
And suddenly was Sainz P3 again at the re-start startgrid ?

#FerrariThings but we got away with it for once. Don’t know if Charlie wins without his wingman.

With or without wingman , Charlie couldn't lose this race .
Charlie was the whole race weekend the fastest man on track .
Charlie and Ferrari deserves the Monaco victory , Charlie finally won his home race !
I like Charlie too !

About Sainz , I still don't get it . But it must be according to the FIA startgrid regulations .
It was really strange to see it..

It was indeed strange that at the standing re-start he was 3rd again

They take the positions from the start of the lap of the red flag

Sainz locked up in Lap 1 - Sector 1 . Followed by the yellow flag .

I mean this moment...

Sainz was P20 in the first lap, first with the yellow flag then the red flag .
Sainz lockup was the cause of the yellow flag.. and not the red flag

At the start of the lap he was P3, that's what counted for the restart.

Peculiar that neither Hamilton and Verstappen put on softs to try a move on Russell. Softs would've gone to the end. Were they out of softs ?

And Checo couldn't go anywhere . There was no room for Kmag !
I think , first Kmag clipped the wall , then he knocked Checo out (twice)! on both sides of the track !
Kmag is f@cking crazy !

So, you screw it completely up and you lose 17 positions , and then you get your P3 position back at the re-start ..
IMHO .This can be done intentionally !

Well mate . That's new to me . Awesome !

Ocon threw his teammate Gasly into the air !

Happy to see Charles win, congrats!

It sucks when the race director actually reads and applies the rules properly, innit ?

they will go to the back of the procession, with no chance to overtake anyone, and finish at the back

edit - do you mean at the red flag restart? hmm ... maybe it would go to the end if you don't drive it hard but if you drive it hard enouogh to overtake it won't make it?

When both pitted at lap 50-something, about 26 laps to go. The softs would’ve gone to the end.
