F1 2023 - Round 7 : Monaco

That was a stupidly great final sector by Max

Yawn.... That's the season over with Perez at the back he won't be allowed race max any more. Just give max and redbull the championship tell em to take the rest of the season off and lets have a best of the rest championship then it might be exciting

Perez only has himself to blame. No pressure and he smashes the wall.

Max chasing a pole position that he didn't really need (I know you want them all, and he had never previously had a pole at Monaco) and he holds it together with a phenomenal final sector.

There is a massive difference between these drivers, Sergio normally better on the streets they say, but Max is streets ahead.

You certainly can't yawn at that quali session, it was the most exciting this season.

Second row start for Ocon. Would like to see him on the podium tomorrow.

What a lovely guy Esteban Ocon is. When Sky interviewed him and asked about him about getting 3rd place if Lec got a penalty he said he didnt want to wish bad luck on anyone or words to that affect.

Hopefully Alonso will monster Verstappen into the first corner tomorrow...can't wait for the race to start :)

That qualifying was more entertaining than most races. I was really hoping Alonso would clinch it, but I knew Max would pull it out of the bag.

While it was an exciting lap from Max, you have to feel Alonso was the one who lost P1, not that Max won it. Alonso was the joint slowest in S3 of the ten.

It would be great to see Alonso win tomorrow as I feel it's his best chance to get a win this season.

It'll be interesting to see if Ocon holds up everyone behind in the early stages to let the front two get away, not that it will matter too much as there is certain to be a SC that will bunch them all back up. It'll also be interesting to see what Perez can do from the back.

Verstappen is just a different beast to the rest of the grid, that third sector was like Saudi 21 on the absolute limit and driving that car to perfection. Hopefully Alonso gets Verstappen into sainted devote and makes that aston as wide as he can

We never did discuss how the CEO pretty much threw a tantrum and called his own team amateurs on television did we?

Other CEOs like Wolff, Vigna (or Elkmann) and Brown just quietly fire and reshuffle and present an optimistic front to the media.

Looks like the rain will come in too late to have an impact on the race today. Was really hoping Max would miss out on pole to make things interesting.

That's great
