Claire Williams getting an OBE.
Although I'm not a big fan of these types of honours, 
well done Claire for the recognition.
I've just turned over. Not happy on the time it's on, but given where it is and the time difference......
They could've showed it live but I guess it would've clashed with the footie

Also Channel 4 don't have this as one of their live races. Difficult with timing and Football as you say. I kinda wished it was later, I would then record and go to bed watching it next morning.

They should've moved Monaco forward
Q1
I quite like this, the three cars jostling for position
Hariyanto losing bits of car!

It was quite early on in the session.
...and speaking of the driver he thumps the wall and is out of the session. 
Palmer's better than where he is, I think

Sounds like Renault just don't have the car sorted.
Hard lines Joleon. 15 thousandths

See, if everyone was in the same car it might make a difference 
Another car in the wall
Awww, inches Carlos
At least he lives to fight another day

I think it would be minimal as you can see how difficult it is for team members to pass each other during the race. Verstappen is a good case in point, he is a good driver and can take calculated risks, if we had more of that we might have more of a shakeup.
Hoping for a good Williams race as their car is suited to the fast track... or has been in the past.

Really? you don't see that if the Merc was downgraded to maybe a Williams spec or a Haas upgraded to a Ferrari spec, that it wouldn't shake things up?
Red Bulls looking pacey again.

No, I think it would neutralise a lot and it may become mostly processional. But it's all hypothetical, however I would like to see it happen as an experiment though.
The mid field could be interesting tomorrow especially if the Ferrari's finish up somewhere 6-9 places.

That's my point....if they all were on the same spec of car than maybe we would find out those drivers who were able to cut it 
McLaren in Q3

I think the reasons people like Lewis are in top cars is that they have proven they are excellent drivers. Alonso is the exception as he made a move that failed in terms of a competitive car.

Here we go...
That could be a fun battle Red Bull / Ferrari and Williams.

So you don't think Button's a good driver then?
If he had the same car as everyone else, he'd be just fine

Yes, and look at the time he put in.
Vettel kisses the wall. Great stuff.
Great radio conversation from Vettel.

Come on Ricciardo - I want him to do well after last week.

But look at Red Bull, release Kyvatt and put in Verstappen who wins the race in the same car.

OK. I'm going to bail on this convo as I think we have slightly differing views and it's getting late for me to work my brain too much.
