Well, the Madring has been a complete failure. At this point, maybe they should ask for a refund.
Monaco 2.0
Boring, I started to work on the dinner, just listening to the race narration in the background.
I read Norris saying he didnāt understand why theyād made the track so bad either, but then he suggested a few tweaks that he thought would easily fix it.
His luck-out with the VSC/pitstop was the only tiny bit of interest in an otherwise entirely processional āraceā. I even stayed up late to watch it on Ch4, having felt quite tired earlier in the evening; regretted that, for sure.
Race is on Saturday this weekend!

Thanks for the reminder.
FP3 earlier today, Kimi not comfortable in the street circuit and the winds. Russell 0.5 sec ahead.
Quite funny to have the qualification on a Friday, in 5 mins:
EDIT: quali ended at 15h15 
Pressure won, Kimi touched a wall during Q1 and starts 16th. So, Russel to start in 1st position. Usual suspects (Ferrari, Mclaren, Redbull) behind. Another surprise, engine problems for Verstappen and starts 8th.
The walls are too close. There might be more surprises tomorrow. Race tomorrow at 13h00.
Not a bad race!
Still canāt believe Red Bull actually nailed the engine while Honda completely bottled it.
Not the first time Honda has made a shit engine. Alonso has borne the brunt of it twice.
Rumour mill is picking up, people think Vasseur will be replaced with Horner š«Ŗš«Ŗ
Well that attempt at a race start was an absolute shambles! How many cars can have the same power loss?
Russell DNF! 2026 championship being defined.
Lewis P2 > P18 > P3 - what a recovery!!!
At this point, Hamilton has higher chances of winning the WDC than Russell.
Post-race interview, Russell:
I donāt need to say I think itās gone or whatever.But, of course, itās exceptionally unlikely, and thatās just the reality.
So many great moments from the Sepang fans and atmosphere. Hope this track stays on the calendar forever.
