    If the rain arrives on top of this this will likely be the best Monaco in years

    True but the last few years and this til the SC shows that f1 doesn't work in Monaco now. Cars are way too big for one thing.

    Another stop for LeClerc.

    And another to retire.

    Leclerc probably going to do a Kimi at this stage, abandon the car close to his yacht never to be seen again this weekend.

    I thought there was a rule about the speed you must go under the safety car. Bottas caused that by backing up too far

    Bottas must have got the puncture from Max's floor, and that piece of debris we saw fly off when they came out of the pits was from Max's car

    Without any big rain impact, Bottas might be in the box seat with his harder tyres

    Poor end to a stinker of a weekend for Leclerc. Ferrari's inability to look at a timing screen and blind reliance "on the data" put him at the back, and in the race his own frustration got the better of him and then his inexperience lead to him wrecking his floor.

    That is a handy penalty for Verstappen, a drive through would have killed him.

    Bizarrely lenient given he gained a place through the unsafe release on a track where position is key and could still end up winning the race by more than 5 secs

    Vettel being smart sitting back. Hamilton will likely make it to the end, just stay close enough to Verstappen for the 5 second penalty. Or hope Verstappen does something stupid to take Hamilton out.

    While it was unsafe the contact was caused by Bottas from what I saw. Bit lenient but enough extenuating circumstances to justify it. I'd be annoyed if I was Bottas though.

    Would have to see it again but I thought Max pushed him in to the wall

    Ric and Mags pit stops during SC killed them from such a strong strarting place. Shame Renault badly need luck.

    Vettel is taking it carefully. I'm guessing he's hoping for Max and Lewis to take out each other or have to make pitstops.
