Camera is way way above his head, cut the vision distance in half. He could easily try to stop and probably would as he spun the back end while stopping. Those things just don't stop well at all on cold brakes and new cold hard tires.

The pit light never should have been green with people there.

Also on the FIA for never really enforcing double yellows well. He had like 500-1000m to get to the first time delta area where speed is enforced after leaving the pits. So it is go fast till then or light time on fire and be out of a job.

Check this view out doesn't look as close. The marshal running to the fence is still not very bright as you know a car coming out of the pits will stay on the fence side of the pit line.

It didn't actually happen. They're CG to make the race seem a bit more exciting.
Monaco is always a terrible race unless a top driver screws up qualifying. The moment Leclerc went out, any chance of excitement was gone.
They even lied about the rain to keep people watching. Rain makes it watchable, not because of an increase in overtaking but for the increase in the chances of someone wiping out.

We'll have to put up with it though because it's the weekend for the sponsors to bang their mistresses.

Does that guy fall down, or did he drop to the ground to pick something up?

It doesn’t look as bad from that view. The marshals are pretty much in control of themselves.

Monaco was surprisingly fun. No driver other than Max could have put that much pressure on Hamilton.

Gasly has been awful this year. Put Kvyat in already.

Cannot decide what the biggest joke is this year. Renault reliability, Ferrari team decisions or Williams.

How about McLaren ditching Honda engines just as they manage to give Ferrari and Mercedes a run for their money

Max starting 11th will at least mean it’s going to be worth watching past the first couple of laps.

Haven't had a decent Lap 1 pileup in a while, so I'm going with that.

seb's outqualified leclerc in 6 out of 7 races now, and finished ahead of him in the race 5 of 6

nevertheless a bunch of ferraritards want to boot seb out and make leclerc the #1

Plus he is allowed to choose what tyres he starts on which is a major advantage especially if he gets a good start.

Maybe I misheard but did he say he had to go out wide otherwise Hamilton would have passed him while he was complaining about it? Kind of seems like an admission there.

they can get mad at seb, but that is probably the most entertainment i've seen in f1 in a year or two.
