Russell will give up his attempt to make the entire race without stopping.
 
Lando begging for some help from Oscar, who's taking his time closing up to Leclerc, probably deliberately.
 
So... there's a time penalty rule and a disqualification rule for not doing the whole pits thing and I'm a bit confounded as to which is which and why...

Is it 30s for not using at least two different dry compounds and DSQ for not stopping at least twice/using three different sets?

As I understand it, the time penalty is only if the race gets stopped early.

It's DSQ if you don't stop twice and use two different compounds.

With the FIA, who knows.

Interval:

5th Hamilton
6th Hadjar +1 Lap

5th place is a full lap ahead of 6th place. Vile.

And Hamilton isn't exactly close to the leaders.

Edit: Aaaand the timing tower broke again

What PaMu said. Per F1.com:

“Unless the race is suspended and cannot be restarted, failure to comply with these requirements will result in the disqualification of the relevant driver from the race results,” reads the section.

“For the race in Monaco, if the race is suspended and cannot be restarted, 30 seconds will be added to the elapsed time of any driver who did not, when required to do so, use at least two specifications of dry-weather tyre during the race, or who did not use at least three sets of tyres of any specification during the race.

“Furthermore, an additional 30 seconds will be added to the elapsed time of any driver who used only one set of tyres of any specification during the race.”
 
Well! That was... something. No more of that, please.

Good job by Norris to not crack. That was some pressure. I was worried. Nice P2 from Piastri. *P3 😬

One day Charles will win at home. *I forgot 😬

Max kept things... interesting.

Nice double points haul for Racing Bulls.

Fine. Good job, Ocon.

Williams made it work for decent points.

Yeah... no more of that, please.

Yeah, Monaco needs a major revamp. If they are going to keep it on the calendar, they need to change the layout or do something more extreme because the fun around this race is OVER after Saturday. My take, get rid of the nouvelle chicane, at least that will be a long enough straight for some overtakes. Because even with this 2 pit stop experiment, it was a weird race and a still a bit of a ****show for me.

Anyway, well done to Lando for winning this one (yesterday)!! Guess we'll see if the new directive will impact McLaren's performance come Spain. If not, they have this WCC on lock cause that car works everywhere and there's been a McLaren driver on the podium for every race so far this year. It's crazy to think that 2 years ago they were dead last. What a turnaround and well deserved too!!
