This is looking good, you'll have earned your money betting on pole here.

Jordan 199 · 22-05-2021 2:16pm

The McLaren is beautiful.

Alpine struggling for pace

ctrl-alt-delete · 22-05-2021 2:18pm

Not very often you see Lewis struggling and nearly 7/10ths off Bottas.

skipper_G · 22-05-2021 2:20pm

Alonso out in Q1, at least he wasn't out qualified by Latifi again I suppose

Zookey123 · 22-05-2021 2:23pm

Congrats to Mazepin, finally out qualifying Mick .

Aye was it traffic or a lack of genuine pace, it was hard to tell in that hectic session!

He's struggling badly so far, Tsunda is also disappointing.

Itssoeasy · 22-05-2021 2:30pm

Ferrari one and two which is nice to see but long way to go obviously. Perez needs to be splitting the mercs at the end of qualy if max is ahead of them.

Zookey123 · 22-05-2021 2:31pm

expected more from checo after FP1. There is still time would like to see him in the top 4 at least.

Indestructable · 22-05-2021 2:31pm

End qualifying right now!

Itssoeasy · 22-05-2021 2:31pm

Lando Norris of course is certainly in the conversation.

Aye could be a wet Q3 potentially? That would throw the cat among the pigeons alright!

He may struggle to get in the top 6 with Ferrari and Norris looking very quick.

Itssoeasy · 22-05-2021 2:40pm

Lewis isn’t getting the merc to click. Now they could be sandbagging but from a reading of this thread it seems the Ferrari’s have been quick all weekend.

klose · 22-05-2021 2:42pm

I swear if Hamilton gets pole here after Q1 & Q2 ill scream, he's nowhere near it so far. Danny Rics quali about the same as his weekend, just can't get the hang of it.

PopePalpatine · 22-05-2021 2:43pm

I'm just bracing myself for Hamilton pulling a pole lap out of nowhere.

2019 Qualifying was the fastest ever lap around Monaco, with Hamilton putting in a 1:10.166, which is well over 1 second faster than the fastest lap we have seen so far this weekend!

4 tenths off now. Considering the "10%" loss of downforce from last season it's not bad. :pac:

Only reason we may not see a new fastest lap is the limited engine modes nonsense. It's certainly worked to tighten up the field in qualifying.

Zookey123 · 22-05-2021 2:45pm

Shocked to see Dani Ric out. Historically been a very good track for him.

22-05-2021 2:45pm

Have to wonder if Ferrari have managed to come up with some kind of suspension innovation. They've been great at low speed this season and especially this weekend so far.

Inquitus · 22-05-2021 2:47pm

If Max can put his Red Bull on Pole he can recoup a bunch of points this weekend, the Ferrari's are faster than the Merc it seems, hopefully Checo can put a good run together, and Norris seems like he could get in front of Hamilton potentially as well. Lewis could be 7th or worse on the grid here unless he really pulls something out of the bag!

Indestructable · 22-05-2021 2:49pm

Ferrari or Norris on pole, be a nice change.

Itssoeasy · 22-05-2021 2:53pm

Lewis is P5 after his first run and it’s not clicking.

Indestructable · 22-05-2021 2:55pm

Perez is at nothing again. I hope he can improve.

22-05-2021 2:55pm

Norris like silk through the last couple of corners

ctrl-alt-delete · 22-05-2021 3:00pm

That's a nasty tactic by Charles :pac:

Itssoeasy · 22-05-2021 3:00pm

Leclerc in the barriers.

22-05-2021 3:01pm

Leclerc pulling a Schumacher. :pac:

PsychoPete · 22-05-2021 3:01pm

That's one way to secure pole

Adamocovic · 22-05-2021 3:01pm

One of the Ferrari lads cheering. Hahah

PopePalpatine · 22-05-2021 3:01pm

Was that in the Ferrari Master Plan? :pac:

titan18 · 22-05-2021 3:01pm

Leclerc going into barriers saves his pole

Really looking forward to today, be interesting to see in Ferrari can keep their pace! Is it too much to ask for a Charles and Max front row tomorrow?

Get in!

skipper_G · 22-05-2021 3:02pm

Ferrari should be happy with the performance but that's a costly mistake from Leclerc. What damage to the car now, gearbox and that'll be a penalty

22-05-2021 3:02pm

That's a pity for Sainz more than anyone.

That wasn't exactly subtle from Leclerc...

blingrhino · 22-05-2021 3:03pm

Worst grand prix of the season , i wont even watch it.
No overtaking.
was suitable in the 1960 `s when cars were able to pass each other, all glitz and glamour but rarely a decent race.

titan18 · 22-05-2021 3:03pm

Doubt that'll be a gearbox replacement but will suck for him if it does.

Itssoeasy · 22-05-2021 3:04pm

So was I the only one to think of Singapore and Renault ? I mean he was a mile off making the corner.

BrentMused · 22-05-2021 3:05pm

Good chance for Max to take a lot of points out of Hamilton in the WDC tomorrow.

ACitizenErased · 22-05-2021 3:05pm

That’s an unreal top 10

Yeah before I saw the replay I assumed it was a genuine accident but that was a very, very, very early turn-in.

Cool.. sure we will see ya back here posting for the next race so.

strawdog · 22-05-2021 3:07pm

Ah you'd have to hope le clerc has gearbox damage. Seems crazy you can hold pole by fookin up like that

What's the penalty for that?

quokula · 22-05-2021 3:09pm

Precedent for this from 2006 (which looked far more like a genuine mistake) is that Leclerc should be put to the back of the grid.

5 place grid penalty
