    A great start from Norris wasted by an awful tire decision

    Lewis 41 years young today. Epic epic drive - Leclerc in his prime was nowhere.

    Shame Russell had to retire as that battle was epic

    Ferrari should be rapid at Monaco

    Leclerc clearly doesn't like Montreal for some reason, he was nowhere all weekend, and has missed Q3 half the races he's had there.

    Expect him to be much stronger at home in Monaco

    People said similar when Piastri streaked ahead early last season.

    Many many races to go yet, and Kimi has shown so far he's not going to back down, so expect him to end up in the wall a couple of times this season

    Ultimately I think you're bang on the money. This much like last year is going to come down to fine margins

    I think you can't write Ferrari off yet if they bring a more powerful engine to the party which they are reportedly doing. Not a given but possible.

    A lot will come down to the FIA tests and if their engine is proven to be allowed upgrades to bring parity in power. I think their chassis is right up there and this could bring them right into play.

    The 1986 Williams - my favourite F1 car ever. I was 6 when I went to my first GP with my Dad - and it was the last GP at Brands. Mansell won in that car - and it was the golden season of F1 for me. The best liveries - Canon Williams, Marlboro Mclaren, JPS Lotus, United Colours of Benetton, Gitanes Ligier, Olivetti Brabham.

    Senna, Mansell, Prost, Piquet, Rosberg, Berger, Albereto..... 

    Best era ever.

    Ferrari looking monty around Monaco as expected.

    Having the time of my life in Monaco. We originally booked for last year but deferred it after Orient away because it was a direct clash with the play off final. (What a good decision that was.)

     It’s absolutely brilliant to be here now.

    Colton Herta is actually a bit crap isn't he? Needs to finish top 6 in the standings, has only scored points 3 times so far, and where it really counts on the driver more than the team and car in Monaco, he starts 14th and is running 17th right now in the sprint race.

    You'd expect after all the fanfare etc that he'd be right up there

    Cant seem to adjust to the Pirelli tyres, if he's going to persist, he might want to commit to a second year in F2.
    He'll do more harm to IndyCar if he gives up after the year.

    Will be interesting if he does, and what Cadillac do about it. 

    They're making a lot of noise about how happy they are with their drivers, but it doesn't take a genius to see that Bottas is way behind Perez as it stands

    If he doesnt learn quickly then Cadillac would be better throwing their money behind Ugochukwu, Powell and Wheldon if they want someone from the United States in one of their cars in the future, given those three are having decent junior careers so far

    Think Seb is the long term play but he's probably at least 3-4 years off so they'll need to find a solid fill in.

    If TV airtime minutes is the deciding factor then Kim Kardashian will get pole position by a mile.
