Doesn't look like there's a thread yet (sorry for the lack of an intro 😁)

Danny Ric in the barriers in FP2

Pitwall: "Is the car all right?"

Danny Ric: "Em, I'm all right"

😬

Verstappen gets so so close to the barrier on the exit of what I think is turn 18, looks like a tricky left-hander over a crest after the tight right.

Hes bound to clip it at some point.

Hamilton almost a second off Russell. LeClerc tops the board. Hopefully no reliability issues and he can grab pole and P1. Sainz only 4 hundredths behind, Perez next almost 4 tenths behind

Max had a big lockup as well. Loads of crashes in FP2. Looking like there could be rain on Sunday, might make it more interesting. I'm going to miss quali unfortunately but Ill watch the race.

Looks like Nico is with sky all weekend. One comment on f1 show about how Russell is getting more from car than Lewis, I'd expect more over the weekend. Always enjoyable.

Merc back bouncing but this is due to mechanical traits, not aero.

Russell said he had both wheels off the ground in T5, insane.

I really hate hate hate how the media cherry pick stuff like this to create non existent drama. See the transcripts and you can see exactly why Stallard asked if the car was OK. I am not blaming it on you btw, but more and more I feel us F1 fans are being sold a pup in how things are presented. All about those clicks

Will be a good quali session, be a good pole for Sainz to get.

Not at all - I absolutely agree with you, but watching it live it came across as being pretty frosty. Even Danny sounded pretty surprised with the question before it was clarified why they had asked (which wasn't broadcast until slightly later).

It is true what nico said, in that Monaco is a momentum circuit. The final sector especially if you keep the speed going it’s great and it looks great for us the fans.
