Really fun qualifying. A lot of laps that looked good but seemed to have their tires die by S3. Norris ended up with only green sectors and pulled a tenth over Leclerc. Must have balanced it perfectly.
- The new C6 tyre was a fun challenge to watch the drivers figure out. Monaco qualy just never disappoints. You can't seriously watch those final hot laps in Q3 and claim Monaco should leave the calendar.
  
  You can however watch over an hour of "racing" where literally nothing happens and then claim it should't be in the calendar. And you can do this year after year, every year 😄
Holy shit Norris. Where did he pull that out of.
- Great lap indeed, did not expect that after leclerc delivered that lap
  
  I already had my fists in the air for a Ferrari pole and had to slowly lower them as the realization sank in… to an italian I would say: “mai ‘na gioia!”
That's a very cool camera looking straight down on like half of the track
Rip terrible weekend for Merc.
The marshals pushing Russell's car out of the tunnel was a fun watch.
- I wanted them to do a full lap, that would be fun. A waste of time, but fun.
Been a while since Norris looked that good, wow! Championship back on?
- Gonna be close to impossible to pass tomorrow, so it's certainly possible he wins tomorrow. I'm certainly hoping so.
  
  Gonna be a strange race with the forced 2-stop, lots of opportunity to fuck up strategy. Who knows what'll happen.
How do you know if you are rich?
A) you have an apartment overlooking the Monaco start straight.
B) you don't watch the grand Prix and don't rent it out either!
Leclerc is absolutely locked in.
Stroll gonna Stroll
- Multiple times!
Kimi noooo 😭
- I hope he doesn't think about it any more than necessary, it's genuinely not a big deal.
Do you think I than when Lewis leaves Ferrari that he will blow the lid on how shit they are?
- Kind of an open secret already.
Yabba dabba DNF😔
Hulk could to sneak into Q3
Good to see Alonso put in a good lap!
Ah Antonelli. Even without the crash, Mercedes weren't looking the strongest.
Man, say what you want about Lance Stroll, but he's really out here looking disappointed he's out in Q3 like it's not the norm. He's either delusional or dedicated, not sure.
- He was on an alright quali lap before having to back off due to Antonelli crash. Probably could've just made it out.
- He was in the quali top10 last week
Fueled for 15 mins!?
I guess fueling is too slow?
It's 2025 and we have a Kimi walking down the harbour next to the yachts again after a crash lol
- Räikkönen didn't crash, if I recall correctly it was an engine failure.
Yellow light on the roll hoop = game over
Lando and the team absolutely on it at every step of the way this weekend. Let's hope they can nail the strategy tomorrow!
Does NowTV have desynced audio, or just me?
Did Hadjar block Tsunoda or what was that comment about?
