Anything can happen here... Might even see AM & Cadillac pick up some points.

Not AM, not even here. No chance.

I thought that it was a bit of a long shot.

Yep. Both Lance and Valtteri were lapped FOUR times at Canada.

Indeed. If they manage to complete any race, they're doing it in an entirely uncompetitive speed.

Imagine if everyone else went out T1 and we had to sit for two hours watching them dribble round :/

[TVR Sagaris]

Hurray. I think this could be Leclerc's.

I've discovered the images work on some networks and not others, PiaP. Think it must be that Thumbsnap is blocked in some places.

[kambites]

I think Ferrari (probably Leclerc) have at least some chance of toppling Mercedes here.

My favourite race weekend of the year.

Yea I quite like it too! Not the 'race' itself of course... But the history, the roots of F1, the insane qualifying and the setting is just perfect.

Also a good excuse for a BBQ and wine fuelled weekend

[RZ1]

I am looking forward to seeing how Kimi does.

When can we start the George is broken conversation 😁

Oh man, I hadn't realised that. I saw Alonso had gone out with a weird seat position issue but hadn't realised Lance was doing his best to revive the days of privateers chugging along like rolling roadblocks. Caddy I can forgive but Aston must be mortified that they're essentially on the same page.

Thanks for the thread PiaP, Monaco Baby

Thanks, PiaP

Please can you arrange for rain in Monaco on Sunday. Appreciated.

50% chance of rain on Saturday afternoon. But, we're too far out at the moment to be sure.

I've gone for Lando. Dunno why.

[732NM]

Will anyone have a Monaco specific wing package?
The call to remove SM and reduce battery power came very late.

[Byker28i]

I'm another Lewis hopeful. The Ferrari has a great chassis but down on power...

Hmm, a start...

True. I'll keep dancing!

[Arrivalist]

Thanks PiaP!

I’m going for the two Mercs taking each other out and Lewis for the win. 2nd and 3rd Charles and Max in any order.

A very precise prediction!

[Adrian W]

I think it will be between Russell, Hamilton and Verstappen, Antonelli will hit something

So much pressure on George, he could hit something too! Or be so wary of the risk of hitting something that he gets out qualified...

Not a criticism, it's a positive thing for us viewers. It's always interesting to see how different drivers cope with pressure.

Lewis of course has zero pressure so he might do very well on that basis

[SpudLink]

Thanks again, PiaP.

However poor the racing on Sunday, this is still a highlight of the season.

I can see both Ferraris looking fast, right up until Q3. Then Verstappen puts it on pole with Norris alongside him on the grid. Followed by Russell and Hamilton.

Norris for the win after Red Bull have an issue.

All based on no evidence at all.
