The Official 2015 Monaco Grand Prix thread **SPOILERS**
Discussion
It needs rain.
Monaco was exciting when the drivers pushed for most of the race (I remember being mesmerised by Alonso and Hamilton nose to tail with such rapid directional changes around the swimming pool section in 2007) . But recently, the tyre rules mean conservation mode to make it a one stop race. The sight of Rosberg leading but slowing the pack to sub-GP2 pace in 2013 was not my idea of excitement.

Day One Timesheet
1. Nico Rosberg, Mercedes, 1:24.374, 146 laps;
2. Marcus Ericsson, Sauber, 1:26.624, 98 laps;
This must be sickening for the other teams, although they are smiling through gritted teeth Mercedes are faster (considerably) seemingly more reliable and more economical and have two drivers who rarely make mistakes, not to mention their boss does a good impression of the Terminator...1. Nico Rosberg, Mercedes, 1:24.374, 146 laps;
2. Marcus Ericsson, Sauber, 1:26.624, 98 laps;
I wonder if Mercedes gave up all development now whether Ferrari could catch them by the end of the season?

I'm coming from the tyre deg angle. Let's wait and see in the FPs if my theory holds up. Mr_Thyroid said:

I'm coming from the tyre deg angle. Let's wait and see in the FPs if my theory holds up. After last year I don't think Rosberg will try anything 'creative' in qualifying as was alleged last year, and I think there will be a very determined Hamilton looking to get pole.
So my prediction is Hamilton for pole, or making a mistake, possibly binning it trying, I am hoping he gets pole.
