Really fun qualifying. A lot of laps that looked good but seemed to have their tires die by S3. Norris ended up with only green sectors and pulled a tenth over Leclerc. Must have balanced it perfectly.
The new C6 tyre was a fun challenge to watch the drivers figure out. Monaco qualy just never disappoints. You can’t seriously watch those final hot laps in Q3 and claim Monaco should leave the calendar.
You can however watch over an hour of “racing” where literally nothing happens and then claim it should’t be in the calendar. And you can do this year after year, every year 😄
While the qualis are always good in Monaco points are awarded for racing not qualifying and races themselves are generally a snorefest.
I can appreciate qualis but I watch F1 for the racing. If I want watch something time trial style then I’d rather WRC than F1.
