Does that sound familiar? It seems like you're the only one who doesn't mention Alonso! 😁

Are you guys even paying attention? Seriously, what's going on here?

I was just about to get into it myself...😁

ruggedhawk20 said:Well, they should probably just point to 1948

because the 1948 Monaco Grand Prix was actually run in cars built specifically according to Formula 1 regulations

No matter how you slice it, the logic is flawed here...

And if we want to make matters even worse—the very page where you've copy-pasted Bernie's revisionist take on history actually contains a glaring logical error itself



Basically, the argument claims the races only started in "1950," yet there's no track record listed. If there isn't a track record, then technically the race hasn't ever been run, right? Because if it had, there would be at least some kind of lap record to show for it. Makes sense, doesn't it?

Lap record 1:14.439 (Michael Schumacher, Ferrari, 2004)

I'm struggling to see what the issue is there...

ruggedhawk20 said:So, all in all, yeah. But then why does the opening post mention 1950???

You'll have to walk me through that logic here.

Well, it’s simply because the thread starter didn't specify they were referring to the first GP held under the modern Formula 1 regulations—rather than just the very first GP ever hosted in Monaco.

ruggedhawk20 said:Just look at this—an F1 car compared to an actual F1 car.

And that was back in 1948. In Monaco!

As someone who loves Formula 1, I really should have known better—back in the day, they didn't just roll out a brand-new chassis every single year like they do now...

Inaugural season 1950

Jason Campbell70 said:It’s a shame they didn't put Senna or Raikkonen on the poster—I think our friend jadeseal7 would have understood the vibe immediately.

How on earth is Raikkonen going to be on an '85 poster? Honestly, Jason, you clearly haven't a clue what you're talking about. ☕

ruggedhawk20 said:You’re laying it all out there—but look, if 1985 was actually the 43rd year, then there's absolutely no way 1950 could be the first based on any kind of math.

Well, if he drove his 34th race back in 1976, then it makes perfect sense that by 1985, he was at number 43. I feel like I’ve already walked through this logic—come on now, don't mess with me! Just grab a calculator and do the math yourself.

What I meant was the total count, including all those seasons where things were interrupted. Everything you need is right there on the internet; if you don't know, just give Google a quick search. 😁

ruggedhawk20 said:Just dropping some random program covers here...

I mean, someone please walk me through this logic. If the very first Grand Prix took place back in the Inaugural season 1950, how on earth does it make sense that the fifth Monaco Grand Prix was held way back in 1933?

And how is it even possible that the thirty-fourth Monaco Grand Prix happened in 1978?

Seriously, how does that work?

Look, we're all reasonable people here—surely we can try to make sense of these discrepancies. Especially when certain folks are so incredibly stubborn about sticking to that 1950 starting point.

I would genuinely love to hear an explanation from the experts on this one.

The first official Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix was indeed held in 1950.

As for the 1978 date—they were likely counting all the various GPs held in Monaco overall (keeping in mind there was a hiatus during WW2, plus cancellations in '49, '51, and '52), so the math actually kind of checks out if you look at it that way.

Are you talking about the camera angle?

Which commentator 🙏🤣🤣🤣

I saw that yesterday—absolute legend. 🤣

Pastor Maldonado claims it's all because he's got some serious guts 🤣🤣—honestly, I can't decide if he's being brave or just reckless! 🤣 😂 😂 😂

Crashtor Ballsdonado 😂

A bit narrow-minded, if you ask me.

It seems like every single car on the grid is struggling with following closely due to these latest aero regulations—though I’d say Ferrari is feeling the sting just a little more than Mercedes-Benz, mostly because of how they handled that nose design.

rowdyrider12 said:I found that whole thing with Bottas pretty strange—that same Williams was chasing down Kimi Räikkönen earlier and couldn't quite pull it off...

In the radio message sent to Bottas—right when he caught up to Kimi Räikkönen after Kimi's pit stop—they actually told him to push hard and overtake, since Kimi was sitting on slower tires. Fast forward just two laps later, and Kimi had already pulled ahead by a full three and a half seconds!🤣

stormybadger8 said:I’m starting to worry that—if I’m being honest with myself here—Kimi wasn't actually outperforming guys like Nico Rosberg, Sebastian Vettel, or Lewis Hamilton because he was just that much faster; rather, it felt more like Lewis was essentially playing the role of the Little Train.

Was he actually slowing down on purpose again? It’s pretty clear that move didn't sit well with Sebastian Vettel or Nico Rosberg—definitely wasn't what they were looking for out there. 🤣🤣

So, if Mercedes really wants to go toe-to-toe with Ferrari when it comes to tire degradation, they’re probably going to have to lean hard into braking—it'll be quite interesting to see how that plays out in the upcoming races.

Pastore 🙏🙏🙏

Jason Campbell70 said:I think we can all agree on how Sebastian Vettel drove today.
There really isn't much else to say about that.

However, I have to disagree regarding the assessment of Kimi Räikkönen's performance.

Looking at his fantastic result today, there were two pivotal moments—the mid-race strategy shift and Sebastian Vettel’s little meltdown.

As for the first, credit goes to the pit wall, while the second was entirely on Vettel.

One might almost think strategy doesn't count as part of the race—if only our friend Jason Campbell70 wanted it to be viewed that way! And apparently, it's Kimi's fault that Sebastian Vettel popped like a kernel of corn just because he saw Nico Rosberg breathing down his neck yet again.

Honestly, Kimi would have found a way past Sebastian regardless.☕

stormybadger8 said:Kimi had an incredible race, whereas Vettel’s performance was just abysmal...
Well, one swallow doesn't make a summer—it's a bit too early to judge the whole season based on one weekend, right? 😉

And let's be honest—there's a massive difference when Vettel manages to claw his way into fifth place even after a terrible race, rather than just sliding out of the points or settling for tenth...

Aside from Australia—which, let's face it, was entirely on the pit crew—I can't seem to recall any other race this season where Kimi ended up in tenth place.

Button 🤣

Hey there, Jason Campbell70—you’re still our Number 1 in my book, even if today just wasn't your day.
