The Mercedes cars (Hamilton in particular) look very quick again.

 

Di Resta looking good again in P2. Looks like a decent points finish could be on the cards for him this weekend.

Both Toro Roso's, Bottas and Sutil all in top 10 shoot out.

 

Both McLarens out.

Dammit, forgot to predict. Wouldn't be so bad usually, but a Monaco prediction is pretty different from a normal prediction.

Think di resta needs to wing his neck in a bit... Lucky to have a seat imo

 

What's he been saying now? How is he lucky to have a seat?

I think Di Resta has been very unlucky in qualifying in Monaco and Montreal. The team keep making the wrong decisions IMO.

 

They kept him in the pit in Q1 for too long trying to fix a problem (which could have waited) meaning he couldn't do enough laps.

The team have hampered him in qualifying in the last couple of races.

 

Monaco not changing his tyres and yesterday fixing a small glitch which could have waited until between Q1 and Q2.

 

He has a fast car so I can still see him getting into the points.

Agreed, the Force India is quick so I can see him picking off a number of cars in the DRS section just before the start/finish line.

Personally don't think he's good enough... Just an opinion...

Really? Why do you think that?

 

He usually always brings the car home. Mostly in the points too. For someone in the midfield I think he's doing a good job.

He's 8th in the table at the moment. Only the top teams are ahead of him and he is beating his team mate. Not sure that he can do much more than that in the force india

I dunno, hope I'm wrong but he was comfortably beaten by sutil first time around, and then by hulkenburg and I don't think over the course of this season he will beat sutil.... I dunno..

He wasn't comfortably beaten by either Sutil or the Hulk.

 

He was a rookie in his 1st season against Sutil and it was only the end of the season where he just got the upper hand. It could easily have went in di Restas favour.

 

Again last year he was ahead of the Hulk until the last few races. Hardly comfortably beaten is it?

 

Sutil and especially the Hulk are no slouches wouldn't you agree?

I do agree neither of them are slouches, he's just so boring... Like a Scottish Jenson Button

He does come across as boring but he doesn't deserve to lose his seat because of that.

 

Funny you mention Button. They're good friends.

Di Resta was amazing. 50 odd laps on 1 set of tyres, unbelievable!!

 

Hopefully they can sort of strategy at qualifying.

Not the most exciting of races, but a good win for Vettel.

 

Might be a decent predictor points haul for me :)

 

Vettel getting booed on the podium :lol:

Wasn't the greatest of races. Quite unlike Canada.

 

di Resta done some job on those tyres. 56 laps?

 

Unreal.

I had the following correct in the predictor:-

 

1st - Vettel

4th - Webber

5th - Rosberg

7th - Di Resta

9th - Raikkonen

 

Pole - Vettel

 

Also had Hamilton 2nd and Alonso 3rd so will get some points for them too.

77 points and up to 196th place overall.

 

:verysmug:

 

 

For some reason I thought I had Vettel pole when I knew fine well yesterday that I chose Hamilton :facepalm:

rossthejambo

62 points

 

Had 1st, 2nd and 10th right, take Raikkonen out of 3rd and bump everyone from 4th to 7th up one and I'd have had the top 6 bang on as well. That's quite annoying.

If Hamilton and Alonso had swapped positions I would have had the Top 5 correct.

Sad to hear a marshall has died after being run over by the mobile crane.

 

Very sad.

 

I got 42 points and down 1 place in the league.

Off lightly, but any more could have seen Mercedes leave F1

IMO it is too light, but i agree about them pulling out if it was more severe. What I would possibly of done was a small fine, this ban from the drivers test and allowing the other teams a similar test with pirelli
