Seriously, this is just go hang out with your own kind

Sometimes I honestly feel like we've become the outsiders in this godforsaken city 😢😁

Kimi absolutely killed it at the start 😁

Bring back that legend 🙂

What is even the point of having a team if they don't act as one?
How much more would the team have actually gained in Monaco if they hadn't stripped Nico Rosberg of his advantage? Lujo argues that they should have seized every single opportunity presented to them—especially since he already botched the start.
To me, that kind of logic is basically kindergarten level.😁

Nico Rosberg isn't about to just sit there and be the sidekick, and honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if the team starts catering to him more often, given the sheer pace (and talent) he brings to the table.

It seems Lewis Hamilton is even more narcissistic than I originally suspected. Honestly, it's a shame he didn't bring—or rather, show off—some random dog or girl during that delay. Actually, maybe he would have, given how harmlessly ridiculous the whole thing felt, but someone with a shred of common sense probably stepped in to shut it down.

As for the situation with Toto Wolff, we'll find out pretty quickly. We'll see which driver they decide to play games with in the upcoming races.

I can't remember the exact term, but he talks about having his own personal strategist as if it's just a self-evident part of his reality.

Toto kept emphasizing how much the team matters to them—he actually seemed sincere 😬—but let's be real: they'll cheat just as much as they need to.
Looking at this season, it feels like they're just vacuuming up everything; I doubt there will be any surprises. It just goes to show that nobody is just some clown who likes to dress up on the grid and talk trash—they are still massive players in the world of Formula 1.

😬😁😁

You can't just outrun karma—yeah, even if you’re supposedly the fastest Formula 1 driver on the planet 🙂

stormybadger8 said:So why?
Look, I get all five points, but honestly, Lewis Hamilton was a massive disappointment in this race...
People love to blame Nico Rosberg because he hasn't really stepped up yet—not once having actually beaten Lewis on pure track pace—while Lewis hasn't even attempted to put pressure on Rosberg for a single full race distance.😳
Then there’s the way he was throwing shade at his own crew because they wouldn't let him take precedence during the pit stops... if they had actually done that, it would have been just as much of a complete circus as that disaster at Ferrari where Alonso was called in first despite being stuck behind Kimi on the track...

Man, did you catch that?

For me, the highlight was that part where he talked about how he basically had his own private strategist in the cockpit who held some kind of (insane) authority over the actual team strategist.
I don't even know how he can talk about something like that without feeling any embarrassment at all.😁

P.S. Though, Toto Wolff later made it crystal clear that that kind of ego trip doesn't fly with them, so I'm glad to hear it.

The Last man to win back-to-back Monaco Grands Prix while leading fra was Ayrton Senna back in 1990 and 1991. With this latest win, Nico Rosberg means Mercedes have now won more races—10 total—since their comeback in 2010 than they ever managed during their initial stint in Formula 1 back in the mid-50s.

I think that pretty much explains why Lewis had some grit in his eye during those final laps... or rather, excuse me, let's just say something flew into his eye and distracted him right during that heroic finish.

stormybadger8 said:Where on earth were you watching? 🤣
You could have seen what happened to Fernando Alonso during the race:
A. When Kimi overtook him right at the start
B. When he went off track and missed both chicanes

🤣

🤣
For God's sake, where is the subtlety? It's the truth 🤣 I see you've updated your style in the meantime 🤣

stormybadger8 said:I’ve been saying this for ages 😉

But honestly, you always seem to have some condescending little manifesto ready just to defend your favorite driver—it's exhausting, and frankly, I'm not buying it.🤣🤣

If they actually realized how consistently you hold your ground without ever backing down, they should probably be paying you a premium just to stay in Vettel's camp.🙂😁

Nico really is untouchable—bravo 🙏🙏

David Coulthard, ESPN F1 co-commentator
"Debris could easily find its way into the cockpit. Whether it’s a stray bit of metal, some grit, or an oil spray—if he's lost his rhythm, that’s the reason. I’m not saying he’s actually got something stuck in his eye, but you have to wonder if there's a bit of psychological maneuvering going on here."

🤷

Ricciardo charging 🎉

That was way too close

James Allen, BBC Radio 5 live commentator
"Interestingly, Lewis Hamilton has managed to burn through less fuel than Nico Rosberg."

🤷

@ Jamie Hall, looks like your favorites just tanked, while the rest of the pack hasn't even broken a sweat yet
someone must be out to get you 🙂

it’s honestly just karma at this point 😳

Roger Wright94 said:🙂

hey there 👋

I’ve got a feeling he’ll catch him eventually—Nico is just too damn good out there right now.
As long as he keeps chasing him like this, he’s only going to get faster.

stormywalker68 said:Fetl took over Markov's car😁

Aha, 😁

Ferrari is absolutely crushing it, honestly

stormybadger8 said:On the flip side—while everyone is obsessing over Sebastian Vettel and Ricciardo—Daniil Kvyat is actually the one who should be looking over his shoulder. Seriously, he’s significantly better than Ricciardo right now, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he ends up landing a seat at Red Bull Racing next season.😉

where is Vettel heading? 🤷

The officials claimed everything was perfectly clean, which basically means Nico is officially full of it—he wasn't.

Anyway, now we just have to wait and see what Lewis has to say about all this. I'm looking forward to the green flag. 🙂

I'm constantly lurking in 🙂

Mark and Dieter basically handed Ricciardo over to you on a silver platter just to make sure Vettel's reputation gets completely trashed 😁😁
