So what does Ferrari do? 

 

They are paying Seb $45m at present but Charles at a mere $3.5 is out shinning him. If Seb wasnt the number 1 paid driver Charles would have been a lot better placed in the overall standings. 

 

Looks like Vetel will be taking a large pay cut at the end of the season, so that Ferrari can afford to keep Charles. Does he slip back to Red Bull?

Ag Ferrari don't need Vettel, They can just drive with 1 driver. Would be nice if they could sign someone like Hulkenberg.

They can sign anyone as long as its not Max Colgate-Smile Verstappen or Lewis i-want-tougher-races-but-dont-challenge-me Hamilton.

I think Seb wants to go back to redbull and the dreamer inside me wants him to find himself there again and then just murder everyone in 2021 with some shining jem from Honda

The day that Ferrari sign Hamilton, I cease to be tifosi. That will be the day I part ways with F1 for good.

I feel you. I struggled when they signed Vettel, but began to accept him. Hamilton, just no, never. But I can't see that happening now. Charles is well on his way to becoming their no.1 driver, so once Vettel leaves, I think they would replace him with a no.2 type driver.

 

Also, if you look at how the Monza crowd react to Ham, Ferrari must know that it would not be a popular decision.

 

I see Hamilton and Toto are having a good bitch session over Charles' defensive tactics.

[gemmerbal]

Im sure his old buddy Christian Horner would love to have him back, not so sure Verstappen will be happy, not that I care about Tanneman Verstappen.

Yeah after the "reception" he got, I dont think they would even put him on a postcard, let alone an F1 seat.

I think LeClerc asking Blundle if he could do his interview in Italian also won him a WHOLE lot more fans. I never understood a word of it but he sounded pretty fluent. Assuming French is what they talk in Monaco? Wonder when he learnt to speak Italian like that.

Agree, it was great that he did that.

 

French is the official language, with Italian the second major language in Monaco

 

From Wikipedia...

Monégasque is the traditional national language of the Monegasque people (who represent only 21.6% of the total population^[1]). It is a dialect of Ligurian, and is somewhat similar to Italian

 

Standard Italian is also a major language in Monaco. Italian nationals make up 19% of the total population.^[1]

I just watched the highlights clip as I missed the race yesterday.
 

My observations:

 

Lance Stroll: "He came back on the track like an idiot!!!" goes and does the same...

 

Vettel gets moron of the race award.

 

Hamilton gets the "Oscar for best supporting female role in a drama comedy".

 

Excellent win for LeClerc, and I am happy that Botas got one-up on Hamilton.

So as we all know we hear those clips after they happen. So I wonder when he actually said that? There was very little time between him swerving for Vettel and then doing the same to the torro rossa(I think?). So was he busy through the gravel when he was on the radio complaining and then go do the same thing or did he complain once back on the track and hope no one saw that he did the same thing he was complaining about.

Felt for Stroll, the only safe way to rejoin is wait for a marshal to usher you on track, may as well take the 10 second penalty.

It did seem super stupid. From both of them. But I really do think the drivers cannot turn their heads nor have that kind of peripheral vision though. They're boxed in so deep in that cockpit these days, and add a helmet. I don't think there was really a safe way to try rejoin - short of waiting for the entire field to drive past but... I mean, no one will do that, obviously.
