F1 2026 - Round 6 - Monaco - Monaco 🇲🇨

Completely flawless drive from Kimi showing how good he can be. There's an awful long way to go yet but so far it looks inevitable he'll win the championship

I can't see things going cleanly for Kimi all year. Look at Piastri last year.

Russel is no mug. It is bad luck that has him behind for the most part. A couple of mistakes here and there will put the heat on kimi. Mercedes qualifying for engine upgrade is joke of the year.

3 or 4 Max wins and it's a different season. Just as above look at how Piastri was going early season.

Yeh and they de-tuned Piastri's engine for Mexico too. Although him brake testing Max and getting penalty was directly on him, but due to the team conspiracy for Lando.

It should have been deemed track limits rather than pitlane speed. They were hypothetically mounting the kerb as they were leaving the pitlane.

Yes but clearly nobody had issue with the line the drivers were taking. That being all good, no rule was broken.

Alpine are challenging it. F1 should have seen something odd when say the 3rd driver popped up exceeding limit by 0.1 kph and cancelled penalties.

Bit of a joke. Everyone watching could see something was up. Bono figured it out. Rule makers should have been on it too.

there is no appeals process for pit lane speeding - you’re either speeding or you’re not, as you’ve said.

Alpine are firstly appealing the fact that they can’t appeal.

for what it’s worth - I’d be very surprised if bono was the only person from hundreds of people across the 22 drivers to see that cutting the corner would cause a 59.9kmph avg speed, and then also not share it with his own team.

Alpine were the only team that appealed within the timeframe so I'm guessing this is the end of it as far as the rest are concerned?

Sure poor old Giancarlo Fisichella didn't get his winners trophy for winning the Brazilian GP in 2003 because of an FIA mixup, he got it the next race.

To be fair, both drivers have had podium finishes before so it's not like say a pre Silverstone Hulkenberg situation. Hadjar did what he needed to do and pick up points when Max fell away so its still a good result for him.

Excellent explanation from Ruth Buscombe (swipe left to read)

happy for Gasly
