I did not know the history. Thanks for sharing.

I love me some F1!

Gearbox is to be finally assesed in a few hours by Ferrari. If its in doubt it will be changed. The initial assessment is no damage but they did not power it up significantly. They will need sometime for a change if needed.

This needs to change. Not only for Monaco but for all races!!

I wish a blown gearbox for Ferrari.

Word is Charlie’s gearbox has been cleared. He will lead the grid.

Driveshaft was another story.

Not really sure why anyone would be mad at him/Ferrari specifically. All jokes aside, there isn't really anything favorable about binning the car like that in attempt to sabotage the qualifying when the race is on the line.

Add 2 minutes to qualy and let the remaining runners do the laps they started. Qualy should not be stopped for a crash.

Only following highlights, but interesting race.
Happy for Vettel. Really everyone in that top 5 had a great race.

Mercedes had an off weekend and reading into Lewis' remarks is always a mixed bag. At first glance it sounds whiny, but it's all about not letting up with holding accountability. Can't have that next weekend.

I just don't get how Bottas gets a messed up pit stop in almost every race now (and lets not forget Russell last year), whereas this NEVER happens to Lewis. WTF?

One would think Toto would be exploring this deeply. How many points lost now??????????????

I was wondering what all the huhbub was about. See for yourself.

You'd think so, wouldn't you. But instead, Toto has come out blaming Bottas for "not stopping on his marks". Yeah, he's off by about 6", but that just meant that the techs had to move over a step. The guys on the other three corners managed it fine. Front right guy was just too lazy to move and hold the gun square to the nut.

Ferrari confirm that the left driveshaft hub failure that caused Charles Leclerc not to start the Monaco Grand Prix was a consequence of his qualifying crash. This is not a part normally checked following this type of accident but Ferrari will update its procedures now
