Wonder if Button wee'd on Alonso's car at some point.
Probably shat himself when he saw Wehrlein tumbling against the wall!

Ericsson did. And Button, Perez...

No, because those plastic people have plastic credit cards.

It's also the place where deals are done.

Bit pointless having a track it's pretty much impossible to pass on.
A motor racing circuit - that you can't race on.

It's a bit like having a football pitch with no goal posts, or a brush with no bristles. Totally, completely and utterly pointless.

The over celebration of a gifted win is really cringworthy from Vettel... reminds me of Michael Schumacher's worst days.

How was he gifted a win?

In fairness, Vettel put in some stunning laps in clean air to gain the overcut. It wasn't simply gifted to him.
Yes he did and credit to him for that... however do you really think Ferrari would have given Kimi that strategy if it was another team's car running in P2? IMO Vettel was gifted a chance to gain the lead that he never would have got against any other driver.

Gifted?

Thanking your team in their native language?

Beer for captain grouch! Is Kimi more you kind of dour introvert? wink

You believe that Monaco has anything to do with motor racing?

Do you think that's air you are breathing?

Oh, Vettel was given the opportunity, for sure. But he had to take the opportunity and he very much did.

Well, you don't know.

Looks more consistent that the driver in the lead got the strategy call. With clear air in front it should have favoured Kimi?

Kimi had used up his tyres & wanted to pit which was a potential gift for Seb, but Seb had to make it work.

It's happened before when Lewis ate up his tyres & Seb got him with the overcut.
