Title: It's Time for Monaco!
Post by: cosworth151 on May 22, 2019, 08:19:40 PM
This weekend is Monaco! I'm starting the thread a little early to remind everyone that Friday comes on Thursday in Monaco. FP1 & FP2 are on Thursday in the principality. Friday is market day or something like that.

I know it is really early (only 10cars have posted times) but I wanted to take the rare chance of saying Riciardo is in 4th and faster than Vettel  :yahoo:

Riciardo's glory didn't last long  :D Verstappen looks really fast but Mercedes seem to have a small advantage

FP2 - if this is in anyway representative of full Quali pace, the Mercs are 0.7s faster than the rest!!

It does look like another Merc Fest this weekend. K-Mag & Grosjean's performance gives me hope for a double points finish.

Mercedes will carry Niki Lauda's signature and the words, “Danke Niki” on the noses of their cars this weekend. Also, one of the stars on the engine cover will be red in remembrance of Niki. Several driver will carry tributes of their own.

This weekend is Monaco!

'Triple that for me.... Sunday morning: Monaco; afternoon: Indy; and evening: Charlotte.  ;)

(I wish the order was reversed so the best was last but so be it.....)

Might be the most exciting Monaco I ever saw. Rindt was turning times faster than pole the day before. Brabham makes a silly and uncharacteristic mistake at the last corner.
