They called the brat in for a pit stop under the safety car, dropping him to third. He couldn't even get past Vettel in 8 laps, despite his car and tyres being much better. If Vettel was racing for Merc Hamilton wouldn't get a sniff

Brat? Hamilton?

To be fair, I guess, Monaco isn't the easiest of tracks to pass on? But, if he was on new tires and Vettels car wasn't 100%, he could of got him somewhere....

Hardly a conspiracy, no way would a team would give up a 1-2 just to get one driver ahead

Just a mistake......Hammy needs to grow up a bit, he makes mistakes too!

I thought it was all pretty hilarious really! Shame Vettel didn't put earlier and jump Rosberg as he would have won

Never happened with any of those that the team sacrificed a 1-2 finish for a first and something else.
Name an actual race where it happened not sheer drivel otherwise there's an idiot yes, but it's the usual fat mouthy taxi driving cunt. Cheers

Looked really good all weekend, as did Sainz, bit of inexperience with the crash, caught out by Grosjean braking early but he looks quick, you can learn race craft but not speed! He will get a shot in a top team hopefully. Miles better than his dad lol

Luckily he doesn't take after his old man. Massa has opened his whining mouth today saying Verstappen is a dangerous driver... Massa you couldn't drive a nail through a plank of wood let alone drive an F1 car. Your days are over Massa, call it a day.

I see a chunk of the fault being grosjean due to the way he was driving and braking early. I don't think it's a ones sided as it looks.

Me neither Grosjean had reported struggling with tyres and brakes and was deffo braking early and defensively, Max may have avoided it with more experience, maybe not, none of the press seem to have got on his back which is good. Stuff like that is bound to happen at Monaco, the best thing is he can chalk it up to experience and he walked out of the car with no injuries 👍🏻

You're right, it's so boring, how much do fans pay for Moto Gp compared to F1 again? What's the overall revenue? You must be right Moto GP is so much better and more popular as its a much richer sport ... Oh....er......doh!

Agreed it's great racing, but I like pit stops, strategy etc and a thread about F1 isn't the best place to start slagging it off and championing the two wheeled variety 👍🏻

Bit of a daft error by Mercedes there, a 1-2 would of been better than a 1-3 result, Hamilton was robbed a little, but its still a win for the team.
