George Russell gets lucky again, he can't keep getting away with it.

Carlos could be in trouble for hitting Perez.

Edit: think I found the retard take of the weekend so far.

Crash in Monaco, no one ever does that...

CARLOS N-
What do you mean it wasn't his fault this time?
Fantastic Quali, probably my favourite of the season for sheer chaos alone.

Usually, Monaco's qualifying is better than the race itself, cause the race, at best, has a decent overcut here or there and maybe a little crash... but in the rain, holy smokes, that could be glorious.
Though there is a chance of an actual thunderstorm as well, so strong downpour could mean postponed race... surely hope that won't be the case though.

Or Monaco 1997 where Salo never pitted and scored 2 points in a Tyrell. but if it rains I expect Mercedes to fall down as they seem to have real trouble with cold tracks

Interesting to compare this with Hambone and Russell's statements today where they both said they want rain. It seems the hope is that rainy Monaco will cause some other teams to fuck up and hand Mercedes an opprotunity.

Lewis Hamilton on 2022 F1 season woes: My luck has to change​

(article)
MONTE CARLO -- Lewis Hamilton said he is due a change of luck after he qualified eighth for Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix.

Hamilton looked like he was improving on his quickest time in Q3 when Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz crashed at the Portier corner, red-flagging qualifying with less than 30 seconds remaining on the clock.

There was not enough time to resume the session, meaning Hamilton stayed eighth.

Hamilton lost last year's Formula One championship after a late safety car at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and has been unlucky with the timing of the safety car in Australia, Saudi Arabia and Miami this year.

He was also hit on the opening lap of last week's Spanish Grand Prix by Kevin Magnussen and relegated to 19th and later showed pace that might have challenged for victory.

Hamilton says he is owed some good luck soon but has a bleak outlook for Sunday's race in Monte Carlo.

"It's very hard to overtake here," Hamilton said. "I'm hoping that the weather plays up and creates opportunity and maybe people do different strategies and be nice to have some luck for once.

"I've been having [bad luck] all year. At some stage, it's bound to stop."

Sunday's forecast has the tantalising prospect of rain at the Principality around the time the race starts.

When asked if he will do a rain dance before Sunday's race, Hamilton replied: "I'm not doing any dancing. No dancing for me.

"But I do want it to rain. Make it a little bit better than driving round in the dry in eighth."

On the prospect of rain, Hamilton's teammate George Russell, who qualified sixth, said: "Bring it on.

"That's what we need in this situation, high risk, high reward -- we have go to go for it. If we lose out on a P5 or a P6, it's not ideal, but it's not the end of the world. We want to put it all on the line and go for the win.

"You often don't say that from P6 in Monaco, but it looks like it is going to rain tomorrow. Look at it now -- it's grey and gloomy; it's gone from the French Riviera being beautiful in sunshine and now it looks like we're in London. So, yeah, I'll welcome a bit of rain"
 
Boring sport. Rich people watching other people drive in circles. Exactly like sailing. All of these people consider the plebs who watch as peasants to be milked

He's like the 4th person who has posted in this thread that I put on Ignore after their first post! LOL

I am just watching the formation laps for the Nordschleife 24H. I can't believe how many cars are there! The commentary is in German but I haven't see any lists of drivers/cars yet. But did cap a shot of the driver tracker. Anyone want to count the dots? LOL

The Ricciardo/McLaren relationship looks to be falling apart.

I get he was asked pretty directly but generally they'll dance around that sort of thing rather than "yup there is a way out".

I hope if they do terminate Ricciardo finds another team, or at least a sear in another series (not formula E, that's a fate worse than never racing again). He'll go down as one of the best drivers never to win a championship, though these last couple of years have certainly dented that.

Also genuinely scary start to the F2 sprint with pole stalling and all the other cars somehow managing to avoid plowing into him on the narrow grid.
