I remember Mansell and Senna in 1992.
Mansell was much quicker but just couldn’t get past. It’s too easy to block the road if you have too, especially if you are a good as Senna.
We all know that Verstappen would just make a crazy dive up the inside in the same circumstances.

Old Max certainly has big cojones when it comes to late breaking.

When it works, fantastic. When it doesn't...

Alex Albon is a bloody good driver and apparently an extremely likeable guy also. D Coulthard rented him a flat in Monaco for a while and when he vacated it he left it in gleaming immaculate condition , DC was very impressed with him . Hope he has a great qualifying in Monaco , I would love to see him do well. Its worth listening to him being interviewed on Beyond The Grid Podcast , all his childhood karting etc recalled in great detail lots of anecdotal stories really interesting. Alex and Charles are my favourite 2 F1 guys. Indy 500 on later the same day , I will be looking forward to Monaco , followed by Indy on Sky F1. My favourite day of the whole year . I would love to see Jack Harvey do well in the 500 , his car isn't quick and he barely made it in this year . Jack and Conor Daly are my 2 favourited indycar guys. Moto GP in Silverstone also on Sunday !!

Back in the 90's Albon's dad used to run a privateer Renault 19 in the BTCC. Was he Nigel? Can't recall.

I know it's daddy's team, but how much longer for Lance Stroll? 10 minutes into FP1 and he's taken out Charles Leclerc

He is getting a 1 place penalty... that means he will be starting 21st

Oliver Bearman handed a 10 place grid penalty for overtaking under a red flag, so he'll be starting 32nd.
