F1 2018 Championship - Round 6 - Monaco

[LeverPuller]

Red Bull still being secretative about the issue.

Dan flat out said he had no 7th to Coultard

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

There we go. The MGU-K

 

[FR0GGY]

Pretty much, parc ferme is tiny at Monaco so they don't have the room for 3 cars unlike everywhere else.

All 3 were there

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

A quarter of engine power lost.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

25% down on power. What an effort!

Yeah but typically they're in a secure area in pit lane. No room at Monaco and trying to prevent interference with the cars. Notice that it was all mechanics etc behind them

No wonder Horner brought up Schumacher

Good day for the Sandgropers , Ricciardo and Hogan

 

[FR0GGY]

I think Gerri might get lucky tonight.

I think Gerri might get lucky tonight.

Get in there Horner

 

[smasha]

Redbull were going to retire him 2 laps after the power limit.

 

[Doc_]

He wasnt using 7th because he didnt have the power to get to 7th I reckon.

If all the cars in Monaco tried to be on the roads of Monaco all at the same time, they wouldn't fit. Also if you have a Monaco registered car, you cannot be fined or lose points on your licence if you are speeding in France.

Wow. Unbelievable drive

Of all the tracks that you wouldn't want to have to recalculate all your braking points on the fly Monaco would be top.
The determination of Daniel all weekend kind of has me thinking that some contract stuff is reaching some interesting stages behind the scenes.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Good to see half of the Red Bull team go in the pool. Quite the celebration going on.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Now onto to Indy. Will Power starting on the front row, if he’s gets it done, today/tonight could be the greatest day in Australian Motorsport history.

Going to nap for a couple of hours and wake up at 3:30, should see the second half of 500.

He did it!

Holy s**t this had a been a crazy night. This should be on all the papers across the country, Australians win Monaco and Indy, in the same night!

 

[Vedder]

Nice news to wake up to, well done Dan

Fook these races starting an hour later though, have recorded it so will watch when i get home from work

 

[Sabbathen]

2 wins apiece for VET HAM RIC

RIC had pace in Spain... won his first race in Canada... I’m daring to dream

If Max had moved out of his way earlier on in Baku like he should have, you could probably add another 10-12 points to Daniels total. Would make things interesting to say the least...

It was a sterling performance, a worthy win in a rather interesting Monaco GP (a lot better than Spain, can’t always be enthusiastic about Monaco but this time...).

That was a helluva drive! To control the race mistake free despite a significant mechanical failure is quite incredible. It couldn't have been a better advert of his ability to the team managers of potential landing destinations for next year. And of course it couldn't happen to a better bloke.

 

[hey shorty]

One of the great wins in recent times, absolutely outstanding.

What a night after a horrid day

I got a laugh

Eagles win away, Ricciardo wins Monaco, Power wins Indy.

Liverpool loses a final, Freo lose at home

Everything's coming up Milhouse.

Christian Horner:

“He’s lost about 25 percent of the power of the engine and because of the way these engines work, that’s making his rear brake temperatures going through the roof.

“Then your brake temperatures go out of control, then the fuel, tires going off and he just managed it like he was on a Sunday afternoon drive.

“He was moving the switches around, driving, saving fuel, saving brakes, saving tires, asking what’s going on with Max [Verstappen]’s tires and whatever else. He drove an unbelievable race this weekend.”

Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko agreed with Horner, saying he felt only Ricciardo was capable of retaining the lead of the race with a car in that condition.

“It was a serious problem and he managed it unbelievably,” Marko added. “I don’t think any other driver could have done it.

Makes ya proud to be an Aussie!
