DNF for Alonso now, because why not. He is so fucking unlucky man. Just pure pain. Even though they screwed him on strategy he was on for some decent points.
Beautiful teamwork by Racing Bulls to secure what looks like an amazing finish for Hadjar. Very puzzling no other team tried to do the same. McLaren especially should have used Piastri to do the same for Norris, surely? But I guess failing attempting an undercut on a track where the undercut rarely works is also an appealing strategy...
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.
I was confused at first because I thought they'd spent literal billions building the best factory and wind tunnel on the grid, but apparently they forgot something:
Newey said: "It's fair to say that some of our tools are weak. Particularly the driver-in-the-loop simulator needs a lot of work because it's not correlating at all at the moment, which is a fundamental research tool."
It is definitely in my Top 10 games of all time. I haven't settled on a final placement yet. It's a beautiful piece of videogames-as-art, the story and the characters are well written and acted and the plot itself is very compelling. The world building is interesting and engrossing and the music boasts one of the best Video Game OSTs of all time, without a doubt.
There are some minor niggles, sure. It's not literally perfect. It's unfortunate that you can easily make yourself so overpowered you miss cutscenes in the final fight if you don't consciously gimp yourself.
But other than that, none of the minor niggles really detract from the impact of the core experience, which is super super strong.

Albon backing up the field now to give a free pitstop to Sainz. Good stuff by Williams.
