Charlie still on top with LEW a heartbeat behind, Chas is quite determined and there is yet another FP tomorrow at 11.30 GB time before quali, so more time to figure out positive adjustments, especially for MAX and YUKi who looked like they had a break had a kitkat in FP2

Ham is literally the best on the grid and it grinds you gears. Last time he raced Max in near equal cars, Max was losing so bad, the FIA had to set in and help him. Max had the advantage of a rule set changed for him and his car, all Mercedes former staff, the privilege to exceed budget cap, the best lead designer, literally the fastest car - and still couldn't get it done without extra help.

Max is struggling with mediocre talent in the McLarens, if it were HAM, this would be over.

Max and me living rent free in your head.

I can tell you're angry because your guy sucks and it simply eats at you. Proven he cant do sh*t without a cheating material advantage in every aspect and still lost to Ros and needed team orders to beat Bot. Cant get lower than that...

Max is 3 in the WDC (one of only two multiple race winners) in a much slower car while your guy with a faster car is sitting in 6th. LMFAO The RB is maybe capable of 10th (and likely worse) in the WDC without Max in it. If Ham were driving the RB21 he'd like be 12-15th and we all know Max in the Mclaren would win every race whereas Ham would also struggle in that car because he SUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKSSSSSSSS. LOL He is struggling to find the talent needed to drive his car while also getting body slammed by his teammate. Sucks to suck like Ham does. But when you're that bad he should just own it. He wouldnt even sniff past Q1 in quali in the RB, but he is good as sniffing other things like his teammates dust.

10 place grid penalty for Bearman for overtaking during red flag.

His excuse it was safer to overtake than to slow down, was not accepted.

Own you.

Sorry, being devious

A bet, could be anything:
Race Win?
Another WDC for Lewis?
Finishing ahead of LEC for the season?
Anything involving HAM.

Loser gets a "Still I Rise" tattoo

Come on gentlemen, lets make his interesting

The bet would only be on him winning multiple WDCs since he continues to think that. Thing is he wont do it when challenged because he knows it wont happen.

I don't put ink on my body but again, something in the neighborhood of $20,000/30,000/40,000 I am good with.

That's a really harsh penalty. Yes I can understand his decision was wrong, but in practice and in this situation.......that kind of penalty.....
You start to wonder...what has Bearman done wrong to piss off the stewards....
Last race his qualifying was deleted by a very controversial decision, and now this.

it's likely that the penalty is clearly prescribed in the rule book

Yes I know. But in cases like these...they seem so hard. So I feel bad for Bearman
However, if he tried to brake and didn't succeed in time, the penalty probably would've been different, I think that the stewards there made that call.
They don't want drivers to think and decide for themselves, if anything regulatory happens their first thing has to be: follow the rules.

And in F1...all drivers are considered the best of the best in the world. So 100% knowledge of the rules and 100% understanding what the Stewards want to see should be considered 2nd nature if you want to be in that club of the best of the best. So that is an argument for that in F1 there's no room or need for compassion.

Yes, I was kinda just goofing. Ink is permanent but some people don't bet money either.

Maybe the loser could hold a sign and post a picture

Either "HAM is the GOAT" or "HAM SUCKS"

I'll even jump in on that bet.

[M5Rick]

Cola last and Charlie first at the mo, think MAX in the middle will have something to say to that in FP3 so bring it on!

[GuidoK]

I wonder how many red flags we're gonna see in Q1/2/3
In the practices lots of drivers clipped walls...

[GuidoK]

Interesting to see that Ferrari isn't just fast in FP, but now also competitive in Q1.

They just slapped on their Monaco special rear wing from last year

[GuidoK]

ANT in the wall.
He's through to Q2, but I have to see if MERC can repair that car in such a short time (nose and suspension damage, he clipped the wall entering the chicane)

[GuidoK]

Another red flag now from RUS.
Car lost power in the tunnel. He's trying to restart but no luck.
Looks a bit like ANT's problem in Imola. They're talking about battery problems, but it could be anything (a sensor etc....). No catastrophing failue with with smoke, fire or fluids at least.

[GuidoK]

Both VCARBs through to Q3, and TSU stuck in Q2....
Food for thoughts for him....

[3798j]

The MB's, and to a slightly lesser degree, Tsunoda, and Sainz have become the most likely to employ "unique" tire strategies tomorrow. Really not much to lose starting so far back at a parade venue like Monaco.

[3798j]

Wonderful!
