Looks like a bit of drizzle is still on the menu...

So if that was legitimate, why do you call Vettel's four titles a massive scam??

😂😂

Emily Patel64 said:I just don't want to believe he did it on purpose, but his body language was... brutal 🤣

He clearly knows him well enough by now that he isn't even trying with those lame excuses
And honestly, maybe Nico is just getting back at him for some old stuff from the past

Plus, that whole celebration after Rosberg took pole felt super fake to me 🤣

It didn't look like actual joy, more like this forced performance... just waving his hands around like he knew he didn't earn it and wanted to stage a massive qualifying win just to save face🙄

So, what's the word on qualifying? 😬

hey man 😲

Perfect binge-watch for when you're hanging out during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend - Grace of Monaco (2014)

😬

Rain's a total bust ☕

COPIED FROM A 2010 THREAD!!



The Monaco Grand Prix is basically the holy grail of racing, right up there with the Indianapolis 500 and Le Mans. These three make up the "Triple Crown" of motorsport—the ultimate achievement. Only Graham Hill actually managed to pull off the full Triple Crown...

The schedule for the Monaco Grand Prix usually clashes with the Indy 500, which makes things messy. Since they’re happening on opposite sides of the Atlantic and belong to different series, it’s almost impossible for a driver to sweep both in one career. Right now, Juan Pablo Montoya is the only guy who’s grabbed two out of the three. He took the Monaco Grand Prix in 2003 and the Indianapolis 500 back in 2000, so he’s sitting right on the edge of that Triple Crown glory...

The FIA (and pretty much everyone else) views the Monaco Grand Prix as this massive engine for growing the sport globally, mostly because of all that glitz and prestige. A huge chunk of the local revenue comes from tourists drawn in by the weather and those famous casinos, but let’s be real—it’s also a tax haven for millionaires, including a few F1 drivers...

Since the track is so tight and the city is tiny, if a driver finishes early, they can usually just walk back to their apartment in a few minutes. I mean, remember when Ayrton Senna famously just headed straight back to his place after losing the lead in '88? Pretty legendary...

The Monaco Grand Prix hits a bit differently than your standard race:
First practice happens on Thursday instead of Friday, just so they can keep the streets open to the public during the day on Friday...
Back in the late '90s, the race used to start at 3:30 PM local time, which was about an hour and a half later than other races in the region...
For years, they actually limited how many cars could enter the Grand Prix weekend. Back in 1975, only 18 cars were allowed to race, while every other track that year was running 23 to 26 cars...
Fun fact: the winners don't even stand on a traditional podium. Once the checkered flag drops, the top three guys just hop out of their cars and head to a fancy VIP box where a member of the royal family hands over the trophies...

Because it’s a street circuit, the Monaco Grand Prix is pure chaos. You get crashes, walls, you name it, which is why we see the Safety Car out on track so often. Between the narrow streets and the occasional rain shower, it’s the perfect setup for an underdog to steal a win. Usually, it's because the favorites either DNF, get stuck behind slower cars, or get caught in a mess in those tiny pit lanes. If you look at the last 20 years, you've got guys like Olivier Panis winning in a Ligier-Mugen-Honda in '96, or Jarno Trulli pulling it off in a Renault in '04...

Last year, the Brawn GP duo absolutely ran the show, pretty much like they did through most of their first season. Jenson Button took the win and went on to be the champion, with his teammate Rubens Barrichello grabbing second. Kimi Raikkonen rounded out the podium in third...

..and they're still trailing behind Sebastian Vettel by at least two 😉

you're losing your mind, but I can finally see a damn good time coming 😎

So, is my python finally starting to show up, or what? 😬

Am I really supposed to just sit here and take this dust in my face? Huh? 😬

I could even handle some of my mom's cooking... no big deal 😬 🤣

so, what's the deal with the shutdown?

How am I supposed to screw anything up here if I'm out of shape and tied to a pole? 😬

It’s always a good thing when someone finally lays down the law on Maminh 😬

Bartenders always screw you over... 😬

So let's just say I decided to jump into the chase myself... even though bartenders usually don't do that kind of thing 😬

nice one 👋

Sebastian Vettel I can't even begin to wrap my head around this... just total chaos. Mark Webber...

Let’s be real, Mark Webber is getting up there in age and things are looking pretty shaky for him... but regardless, this is easily his worst season at Red Bull Racing in the last five years... while Vettel is simultaneously having his second best...

So, either Mark Webber suddenly lost his touch overnight, or there’s something about that Red Bull Racing car that makes it perfect for Sebastian Vettel while turning it into a total nightmare for him...

It’s actually pretty wild when you look at the numbers... in that five-year stretch, Webber basically couldn't even sniff a win or a podium unless it was one of those rare, freak occurrences during a season...😉
It feels like a pretty solid hint that there’s something fundamentally "off" with that Red Bull Racing car... except for the fact that whatever's wrong with it seems to suit Sebastian Vettel perfectly. Honestly, a car like that is basically tailor-made for him...

I mean, I could totally see Button being in that exact same spot at Red Bull Racing where he ended up with the McLaren car... just how things played out...🤣
The car's clearly got way too much understeer or oversteer, or maybe it’s just something else entirely...🤷
Honestly, whatever it is, it clearly suits Vettel perfectly while being a total nightmare for Webber...😉

I'm sorry you're still out there playing knight in shining armor against those absolute masterclass frauds... especially since we're supposed to be grabbing a beer together... 😬 Man, seriously... stop talking nonsense... 🤣 🤣 🤣

This year's Red Bull Racing is honestly the most dominant thing we've seen since the days of Schumacher's reign...

Look, even if I had Parkins and Alzheimer’s hitting me at the same time, I wouldn't believe anyone trying to tell me otherwise... Nobody is actually questioning Vettel's achievements, except for those few provocateurs and trolls out there. But if anything is obvious, it's that Red Bull's dominance was absolute... Maybe Singapore isn't the ultimate proof, but those crushing wins in Canada and Spa-Francorchamps definitely were...
