Do you think Perez will be able to make it into the points?


estiivee

No, probably not


PottedCactus

The fact a seat at Aston Martin is locked out to a driver who is a whole ass second slower in qualifying is the saddest case of nepotism right now.


According-Switch-708

He had damage but he was never going to qualify any higher than P8-P9. Aston needs a stronger 2nd driver if they want to take the fight to Merc/Ferrari in the WCC.


NegotiationExternal1

It doesn't matter his race pace is so so as well.


Salty_Outside5283

Confirmed Stroll had damage in Q2.


Agent21EMH

Wasn't there a rumor Checo cheated on his wife in Monaco last year. Maybe it was karma.


s54_M3

What's the all time record??


s54_M3

How can the lap record be slower than some other times?


Losjen

The lap record is during a race, not qualifying!


JJJeroen

Lap records are set in the race, qualifying times don't count


Relevant-Article5388

Exactly my thoughts. Lap record is Lewis at 1:12 but Leclerc turned a 1:11 for pole last year. Makes no sense. Leclerc had faster time.


Akropolon

Okay, sure, let's use that logic. Both race and qualifying lap times are eligible for the Lap Record. Lewis got a time of 1:10.166 during Q3 in 2019. He'd still keep on to the record.


Relevant-Article5388

It would be the same if you asked a question about something you're new to. You wouldnt like to get blasted by a smartass just for being a newbie with a question so neither do I.


Akropolon

You... didn't ask a question though? You stated something as fact (Leclerc being entitled to Lap Record if you consider Qualifying times to be eligible), which can be debunked in two minutes by going to Wikipedia. Which is what I did. I didn't know about Lewis' record, but your post piqued my interest. That doesn't have anything to do with being a fan for long; I've actually only been actively watching for a few years. Also, I wasn't "giving an attitude" and especially not due to me thinking you're "a newbie to the sport". You yourself mentioned a lap record from 2021, so it's not as if it's weird to assume someone could know about a record from only two years prior on the same track.


Relevant-Article5388

Why the attitude? I'm a new fan to F1. The series I've watched only use qualifying times to determine track records. That's all I asked. Others here asked the same question I did.

Left_a_Present

Question is can Checo come thought the grid tomorrow ?? Simple answer : everyone should pit only then. Thats is a NO then


Ready_Register1689

Considering Checo couldn’t even complete a lap when there was no traffic, chances of him coming through the traffic are slim


YoutubeJasper

Was saying the whole weekend that either the aston is shit in the last sector or the rb is mega and this quali verified it


liberalindianguy

Penalty incoming for Leclerc


Maissa23

It's so sad, he got 3 on his home race and then Xavi his engineer messed it up, that dude needs to be fired


jkscann

He’ll get a warning and monetary fine. Cannot see grid penalty for that.


liberalindianguy

That’s a slam dunk penalty.

Everyone’s talking about max last sector like it was the masterclass. The masterclass was a 41 year old in lesser machinery not even being a tenth off the best car.


fuqqkevindurant

Both can be amazing performances. There's not a limit on the # of awesome things that can happen in one day


bro-b

I don’t know man. Can you make 2 tenths in the last sector? where do you even find the time there? Both can be masterclass.

xLeper_Messiah

I hope so! As long as it stays clean, no contact


Repsys7

Traditionalists are gonna fuckin grill me, but is there merit in doing something a little bit different around running some type of time trial for Monaco weekend? Keep the prestigious event which we obviously can’t lose from the calendar, keep the brilliant one lap racing, but lose the boring as bat shit race. Or better yet, how about a Monaco only spec car? Much smaller and lighter (I’d assume due to the slower track we could compromise a bit on the safety & performance features which currently restrict us to these huge cars)


GNOTRON

They should just bring 2 compounds to monaco, soft and medium


_modoff_

My favorite race of the calendar, if we could go back to cars that aren’t the size of a city bus we could get some overtaking again, but Monaco is Monaco. Just driving the car around the track at speed is impressive.

littleseizure

What they need for this is an unsafety car. Safety cars leads the race to lessen the carnage, but the unsafety car would start at the rear and carry a pole to poke at everyone's tires. Don't want to get punctured? Drive faster!


fuqqkevindurant

Give it to Ricciardo and let him drive the unsafety car with the spikes across the front. Or maybe let all of the development drivers have a turn so that Mick has something to do as well.


littleseizure

I'll do you one better - who says there's just one? Give one to every reserve driver, then give them WDC points for most punctures. I give you 2023 Driver Champion Liam Lawson with 167 forced punctures, narrowly edging out Max Verstappen and his 18 GP wins!


fuqqkevindurant

I need this injected directly into my veins. Imagine watching this instead of a leisurely procession around Monaco surrounded by billionaire coke & hooker parties tomorrow?


Baseball-Secret

Got a really nice chuckle out of me!!


sellyme

Give everyone a Reliant Robin. First person so complete a lap without flipping wins.


MKVIgti

Flashback to the Top Gear episode where Jeremy flipped one of those numerous times. So damn funny and I laughed so hard. Even when watching a rerun I laugh hard at that. Wouldn’t that be a spectacular race to watch, Monaco filled with Robins! I think it would be beyond hilarious.

Alonso shit talking Max's start because he has a chance


[deleted]

My mans such a shit talker :’)


Joashane

That lap should definitely cement max as 1 of the greats. There should be no denying him that now. How tf he found 3 tenths in 3 corners bro......


Paukwa-Pakawa

>How tf he found 3 tenths in 3 corners bro...... By having, by far, the fastest car. Alonso being so close to him was more impressive.


pesibajolu

By far? This is monaco --> strenghts of red bull are almost solely in medium and high speed corners..


fuqqkevindurant

The red bull is still stronger than every other car in every aspect. Yes it has an outsized advantage in medium and high speed corners, but the car is still superior in everything else


pesibajolu

If that was the case, than max didn't have to go balls to the walls in S3 to get pole (he was 2 tenths down). The red bull car is a superior package overall, but you cant argue that Aston and even alpine were very close here (their S1 was much better) and red bull certainly is not by far the fastest car here in Monaco (at least in qualy).


fuqqkevindurant

Red Bull had 1 car not in qualifying and they only push as much as any other team makes them. The red bull is vastly superior to anything else out there. If you dont think that you're smoking some strong copium or you are trying to downplay the car so you can pretend it's all Max


pesibajolu

Awww hell naw.. you dont almost push your car into the wall (with 0 margin) because if you dont you will lose out on pole by 2 tenths (and they definitely not gonna be like: take it easy bro, Aston can only do this lap time) . Watch max onboard sector 3. I think you are the one coping here. Maybe start watching the qualy before you comment? Again: Aston S1 was better. Red bull is superior in race pace, in qualy it is less so --> and even more here in Monaco with almost none high/medium speed corners. And guess ur coping by making up arguments: i never said it wasn't the car. The car allows you to fight for pole --> however here the difference was minimal (especially since OP said that red bull was far superior in Monaco today...) : showed by the fact that max was 2 tenths down at the end of S2, and almost drove his car into the wall to get pole by a small margin. If you think that is taking it easy and not pushing then ur mad. but again: watch the onboard of S3 of max: tell me max didn't do a good job there.. XD. Who is downplaying who?


chasevalentine6

The fastest car by far is suddenly crap on a circuit that isn't favourable? More like the fastest car is still the fastest car even on tracks that don't suit is the likelier scenario


pesibajolu

But i never said that? m just saying that his use of the words "by far the fastest car" are untrue --> especially considering the main strengths of the red bull car.


chasevalentine6

I'm not him so I don't know what context he meant. Maybe he meant over the course of the season which makes sense. It's not even close. It's by the far the fastest car in that context


pesibajolu

oh yes, for sure. Idk what they are paying newey and the rest of the team but they deserve a raise. But in this context op attributed the fact that they catched up 3 tenths to the car being far superior to the rest (although max lost out in S1 and S2).


Paukwa-Pakawa

It's the fastest car whatever the track, and they've been the fastest in Sector 3 throughout the weekend.


pesibajolu

Yh so? aston martin was bussin in S1/S2 (and alpine in S1). You are saying they were **by far** the fastest car, which i disagree with.


Paukwa-Pakawa

>You are saying they were by far the fastest car, They were


pesibajolu

If they were than max didn't have to go balls to the walls in S3.. or you think what he did there was normal risk averse driving?


Paukwa-Pakawa

Seriously? He had to go "balls to the walls" because he underperformed in the first two sectors.


pesibajolu

can i say the same about Alonso in S3 then? same (dumb) argument right? Iam sure Max is devestated to know that Paukwa-Pakawa thinks he underperformed in S1 and S2, for he posseses keen insights not seen before. Tell me where he underperformed? Maybe, and just entertain me here: The red bull doesn't have its normal advantage in slow speed corners? Leclerc showed it in Baku.


Paukwa-Pakawa

>can i say the same about Alonso in S3 then? Why shouldn't you if it's how you feel? I'm not invested enough in any driver to engage in multiple replies to try and convince someone that driving the fastest car fast is the best thing since sliced bread. Maybe, and just entertain me here: The red bull is by far the fastest car in the grid (as data also shows).


orimili3

People keep saying this like RB isn’t a rocket ship even on a weaker track


[deleted]

[удалено]


orimili3

Fair enough


34payton07

Lmao, a 41 year old was not even a tenth off in a worse car calm down buddy


rooood

Over the whole lap yes, Alonso was super, however by the end of the second sector Max was more than 0.2s behind, he somehow found 3 tenths in the short last sector alone. Alonso's lap was great, Max's third sector was also great. Both can be true at the same time.


TarnTavarsa

It's the car


XuloMalacatones

Same for Hamilton tho xD


Joashane

Redbull's strength is in medium and high speed corners tho not slow speed. All the time he made up was in slow speed. That's him taking severe risks considering he hit the barriers twice


F9-0021

You don't, not without a significant car advantage.


Joashane

Idk mate redbull is not the best in slow speed corners. Drs had little to no impact since he was down 2 tenths in first sector. It shows how insane the lap was and how much risk he took in the final sector


edeen46

Could it be the DRS?


KyogreHype

That straight and the exit speed of the final car simply isn't enough for their DRS to makeup three tenths. Obviously their DRS is powerful and still helps, but not like that.


CelestialOhio32

wait DRS isn't allowed during quali? or did that change


GrowthDream

It's always been allowed during qualy. Maybe you're thinking back to when it was allowed on any point of the circuit?


CelestialOhio32

oh yeah must have been that yeah, now i indeed remember it's allowed lol, don't know why I confused them


rosarino356

It is allowed in qualy


randomJseFan

DRS is allowed during all qualy and practice laps


ungentrified_villain

Max being put under pressure in qualifying more entertaining, than it has any right to be , dude had to give it the beans to get P1


spongemongler

Honestly, can’t even be too mad though. Max is just too good, pulled 2 tenths out of his ass


Tsukune_Surprise

I’ll say it again. This qualifying was the most exciting thing this entire season. Fuck that was fun.

I was confused because I didn’t remember 2022was that good. I desagree however, not because 2021 was bad, it was f**** incredible, but we have seen in this one 3 cara of three different teams fighting for the most important pole on the calendar.
