I was really unhappy after I saw Ferrari's big mistake there. I really wonder why the team decided to have Sainz and Leclerc in pit at the same for no reason. Leclerc was already in pit and they just said to him to stay out.    It was really ridiculous I mean. After this simple and important mistake, Red Bull captured a huge advantage as it was like a gift for them. I must admit that Perez had a superb race and deserved the victory too. Maybe this scenario would have been much more different than this if it wasn't the Monaco GP. However I wouldn't like to overlook his performance of course. Leclerc had a very unlucky day and finished the race even out of podium.

Only Ferrari can screw up things in such way like they did today. They had everything in their hands. It's incredible what bad luck Leclerc have at Monaco.
After this win Perez is close to Verstappen and Leclerc, just few points behind. Every driver dreams to win in Monaco and he did it. In the end his tyres almost ended, but for his fortune, it's Monaco where it's impossible to overtake.
But things still can change - Ferrari made protest about Perez and Vertappen crossing line on pit exit.
Mick Shumacher id another very expensive crash for Haas. It probably looked more scary than it actually was just because car break into two parts.
After all, I still don't understand why race has been delayed for more than hour when rain ended and basically they were waiting for track to get dry. Yeah, it's all about safet, but shortly after rain track didn't looked very wet and impossible to race.

First of all i am happy that the Monaco race weekend is over because usually this is the most boring race in the whole season and i don#t know why the Formula 1 is still marketing this one as the biggest race of the year. Just because there are a lot of celebrities around? No one really cares about that. To the race itself i have to say that i feel really sad for Leclerc today even though i am usually not a big Leclerc fan, but today he would have totally deserved to win the race at his hometown. He totally dominated the whole weekend and he also was the fastest driver in the beginning of the race. That Ferrari made such a big mistake with the pit stop strategy is really a shame and the only reason why Leclerc did not win today.

It was an interesting race, it was a bit boring, but we were very excited about the accident we watched. I am glad that Mick Schumacher did not suffer any injuries after the accident, I think of Michael Schumacher in every accident he does. I hope we don't see a more serious accident.
I think Ferrari made a big mistake. It was a race they could win, but they have serious problems with the pitstop

Was even worse if he was staying out 1 more lap with Perez 7 seconds for a lap faster than him.

If Sainz went in when they called him 3 laps before then, Verstappen needed to pit earlier and Leclerc too.

First of all, I'd like to congratulate Perez. I assume that nobody among us was waiting for Perez to win this race. Ferrari pit crew made the biggest mistake they could in Monaco and lost the advantage on track to Red Bull. Even though Perez's tires wore out in the last moments of the race, Sainz still wasn't able to overtake him. If this race was on some other track, it wouldn't be a big deal for Sainz to win this race.

They needed to tell him stay out before he entered the first turn into the pitlane,after that everything was worthless.It was a big mistake from the team management,they were some what messy and did not behave like they should,Leclerc had all the right in this world to yell but not that little as he did,if I were at his place I don't know for how many minutes the yell would continue.

Congrats to Perez for winning the race and Lando Norris for the fastest lap,Perez did a good job in the last laps as he was suffering with the tires but in this track it is easy to get by.

Very well done by Perez, but it's their own fault that Ferrari didn't win. Leclerc can in no way be satisfied, if the race had not been in Monaco Perez could not have won with his already very bad tires, but so Perez has saved the victory to the finish. Congratulations to Perez.

Yeah...  It was confusing to know what really happened there.  I thought Leclerc was yelling to his team because of the iffy call to box then a second later telling him to stay out.  By the time the team told him to stay out, Leclerc was already in the pit lane on his way in.  Lol.

Here are the results...  Great result for Perez sliding in there to win the race.  Another lucky break for Red Bull once again.  Right when Ferrari has the answer to Red Bull's pace.  Can't wait for the next one.

Damn.  It must hurt watching the podium celebration.

It's the most boring race I've ever watched. They didn't start the race first because it rained a little. We waited for minutes. Then there was an accident and they stopped the race. The race will not be completed in normal time. This is a big scandal. FIA has been making silly decisions lately and alienating people from this sport. There is no excitement left in the race. This track is not exciting enough anyway, and it becomes unwatchable after these decisions.

I wonder how many more times the race is going to restart.    Mick Schumacher's accident was really terrifying by the way but I'm glad that there is no problem with Schumacher. Ferrari made a really huge mistake by changing their mind in the last moment and causing Leclerc to enter pit once more in a short time. He was leading the race comfortably but now he is suddenly at the fourth position. This has been a really unfortunate race for Leclerc and there is not a long period ahead until the end of the race. I wonder if he will be on podium at least.

That was completely Sainz's mistake, he denied the call when they did and Charles lost his window.

Nothing they can do.

Another big and this time I mean a really big error from the Ferrari side,I liked his reply when Ferrari after screwing up told him a briefing that most likely no rain till the end,everybody will go till the end with these tires and Leclerc just replied,Perfect.This error if it doesn't change anything during the race for Leclerc can cost him the Championship as he was leading comfortably and doing great lap times.

Perez did also a great job as he was the first to claim to need the Inter,and spotted perfectly that moment,doing a lap 5 seconds faster than Leclerc and netted him the first place.The race is still on and now Redbull I don't understand why they changed to intermediary tires while Ferrari stayed on the hard ones.

Omg guys...  Head on to Formula Dank at Reddit.

Edit:  Wtf just happened?  Just heard Leclerc just yelled on the radio.

It was always obvious that the strategy would be let Sainz defend against everyone, and let Charles run wild until that moment. Thats going to be the case for the whole race, Sainz will just not let anyone pass, and that will allow Charles to beat everyone. Unless there is a big crash or something, which is not impossible with this weather, I am sure that he is going to get a very very easy win. Sad thing is, Monaco was designed this way, so that we wouldn't really have a good race but to have a good strategy fight, and thats not going to help Red Bull anymore, they can't do anything that would benefit them.

After starting behind the saftycar (which I don't really understand) this is a big advantage for Ferrari, if no more unpredictable things happen (technical failure or changing weather conditions) Ferrari will easily win the race. Anyway, it looks like it.

But there are still 70 laps to go, so a lot can still happen, at least it looks good for Ferrari.

Formula Dank subreddit.  Lmao.

It has now been completely canceled the launch and there is also no date for the launch yet. During the formation lap behind the safty car, many drivers have also sparked it is very very wet, wetter than expected, which is probably why the red flag came. Even if it now looks a little better with the weather, so wait and see.

After few laps behind safety car now we have red flag. Seems that rain already stopped, but I'm already getting flashbacks from Spa 2021.
