Can take it at the stop can't he?

Just stops for 10 seconds then mechanics can start changing the tyres.
No. He was disallowed from that - no work allowed.

No one should be passing anyone in Monaco with car placement.

Poor defending.
Because Lance Stroll
If it was anyone else I'd have said it was a sensible move to make sure Max crashed somewhere else.

But Lance just isn't that bright.

Indeed. Equates to a much greater loss on track than Grosjean's three place grid penalty for something that was very dangerous as opposed to merely a breach of bureaucracy.
Yes, agreed. yes

The penalty system is so inconsistent.

This is miserable for Williams. I think I might be 30 seconds behind everyone else. hehe

Maybe I'm getting old, but the epic music, the flashy graphics, the ziiinnnnnnnnng sound effects... it's all a bit naff isn't it.
Same here, I'm waiting for "gentlemen let's get ready to rumble!" every time I hear that naff muzzack.
I half like it half hate it The arcade game/Marvel movie part of me loves it. But the heritage/ black and white footage, oily rag wire wheels and and when-men-were-men no h&s heroic part of me doesn't.
I quite like it - in bits and pieces - I wouldn't want to listen to the whole complete score. A lot better than the previous effort. However I do miss the guitar riff from the 90s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgiBkydMW8k

Graphics are massive improvement with more info eg. sector times, clearer if you're watching on a small screen.
