Great races. Toto got to celebrate his 60th and 70th birthday all in one race. Good the car died before they killed him.

1,000th start for McLaren in Monaco, expecting a special livery at least.

Guessing that's cumulative with both cars

Canada was supposed to be George's track, oops. He was looking over his shoulder all weekend. Until he wasn't.

Monaco is supposed to be Charles' track, we'll see. Supposedly Lew stopped using the team simulator and rediscovered his mojo.

It almost seems unfair that petulant Kimi is on track for a WDC but he's in a class of his own at this point in time. He's clearly vulnerable but who is going to exploit that?

Gucci has been announced as title partner to the Alpine team from 2027, with the squad set to race under the name of Gucci Racing Alpine Formula One Team from the start of next season.

As part of the collaboration, the luxury fashion house is creating Gucci Racing, which they have stated will be “a new business and experiential platform built around the values of performance, precision, discipline, and excellence at the intersection of luxury and sport”.

The new era will also see the team compete in Gucci colours, marking a step away from their current blue and pink livery.

So it will be like last years race, only slower.

Was hopeful that these cars would turn up the excitement for Monaco...

I don't see that as much of an issue.
They will still have the push to pass and the aero part is not significant at a track like this with no real straightaway.
They may have been concerned about the curved tunnel section, otherwise I don't know why they bothered.

I suppose so, and the speeds are, in general, lower. So maybe the more aggressive ramp down on power won't be as noticeable as it seems on paper.

A very interesting Monaco qualifying. Too bad it's so hard to pass but the Ferrari's could make it up with another impressive run to turn 1.
After that, strategy around the pit stops or pure luck is the only hope for an exciting race.
Not sure what to say about George Russell.

After Lap 1/Turn 1, expect a typical Monaco snoozer. The rest of the race is just going to be who makes it to the finish.

Kimi did great, and i expect both Ferrari cars to make their usual great starts. A Kimi/Ferrari 1,2,3 would work for me

Unless Kimi and Max basically stall, I don’t think Monaco has a long enough run to T1 for either Ferrari to get by.

True, and Kimi hasn't had the best starts, to my recollection.
Just a maybe that the quick spool turbo on the Ferrari might give a possibility of a run up the hill, as long as it doesn't end up as a Checo/Haas debris field.

For a race with little action during the first 90%, the end was kind of crazy.
Lots of head scratching for all sorts of reasons.
The pit speed sensors seemed to be suspect and I hope they look into and explain the details of the violations.
Lance Stroll looks like he’s just trying to see how bad he can be before his daddy would fire him.
Russell seems lost.
Kimi might have just be able to walk on water at this point. In a different league right now.
