That was a horrible race.  Good for Nico though.

 

How is Kvyat not gonna face a ban?  You don't just accidentally run into the guy that called you out...twice.

I see he got 3 points on his superlicense at least. I'm not sure why they allow up to 12 pts over 12 months though. Should a driver who does what Danil did 4 times a year even be allowed in a F1 car?

Max Verstappen replaces Daniil Kvyat in Red Bull F1 line-up

If we can't have interesting races we can at least have juicy mid-season drama.

Well that excalated quickly.
But really no surprise, Kvyat really screwed himself by the way he was driving. Hitting the same guy 3 times in 2 races.

Sounds about right.  Let's hope Doornbos Jr. doesn't crack.

Yeah... about that... :mamoru:

 

That was a fun race, mostly procession and anticipation, but what an opening...

Yeah, was hoping Kimi could get around the kid, but was a decent race especially after Hammy took out the Mercs...

Very cool. Only got to watch the first few laps late last night.

 

Hobbs is annoying as shit, and hambone might just be cracking...again.

The last few laps and the dive bomb by Ricky was awesome...too bad he couldn't get around.

Terrible strategy call in hindsight but supposedly those tires were only supposed to do 25 laps not 35 as Kimi & Max got them to.

Seriously though...Max is boss.  Fast and composed and only 18.  The next Vettel for sure...

Sainz wasn't too far off Max in terms of pace, though I think Max has better race craft.  IMO Sainz is right up there with the likes of Massa, Webber, Nico, JB to name a few.  Fast as f, but a bit less killer instinct than people like Fred, Ham, Vettel and "leave me alone"-mode Kimi

Where does Ricci fall on your list?

Right there with Max and the elites. I think Ricci proved that when he gave Vettel a run for his money in 2014.

I agree w/ that.  I think Sainz def deserves a top tier team...but so does Hulkenberg and Perez.  

It's crazy to think that it has been 10 years since Alonso won his chip.  Shit I feel old.

Shame Ricci lost the win because of a botched pit stop :hs:

Awesome win for Rossi though... :bowdown:

MAN...I want to see RB blame their Renault power now.  Even when they are at the top, they seem to lose it for Ricky.  

Great Monaco race...I love watching these guys muscle the car in the wet.

Watching the post race today while I'm editing...
 

The fucking hypocrisy by the British Media...when Lewis ran Rick into the wall at Monaco, it is okay.  But when Nico ran Lewis wide in the last race - Lewis should've been given space.  Both had a wheel along side the other car...
