Monaco Grand Prix 2019

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With the Indianapolis 500 (on the same day) and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Monaco GP forms the Triple Crown of Motorsport. Graham Hill is the only driver to have won the Triple Crown.

Since 2010 the event has been very much a Red Bull and Mercedes affair as both teams have secured four wins each.

Sebastian Vettel's 2017 victory for Ferrari is the only one since Michael Schumacher's win in 2001.

Ayrton Senna is still the king of Monaco with six victories in total.

Graham Hill and Michael Schumacher won five.

Niki Lauda and SA’s Jody Scheckter won two.

McLaren has the most constructors’ wins with 15.

The Monaco GP is the only Grand Prix that does not adhere to the FIA's mandated 305-kilometre (190-mile) minimum race distance for F1 races.

Thursday and Saturday are practices and time trials with Friday a day-off.

SuperSport beams 13:30 Sunday.

imo, as great as the setting and backdrop of this race is amazing....the race itself is quite boring.... almost impossible to overtake so action kept down to a minimum...

You qualify in pole, you start well, your pit crew are quick, you win the race

i hope Bottas gets pole....

Am a Kimi fan. Like this new kid Le Clerc.

Looks like we are set for another Mercedes benefit weekend. Ferrari struggling for pace compared to their rivals and can't get it right with the tyres. Hamilton will extend his lead surely.

2nd Practice: again Mercedes dominance:

Watch Leclerc!

Leclerc has already gained one position as Alfa driver Giovanezzi has been penalized.

“Hopefully [there will be] some rain," Leclerc said. "If it is dry, it will be boring. I have to take a lot of risks, even risk to crash, but it's all I can do to take some risks”.
