Thought any component changes was drop to back of the grid?
Nope. For a gear box change it’s 5 places, engine penalty its 10 places.
In one way you’d look at the strategy being so interesting tomorrow but then with Ham/Perez at the back, Ferrari with good pace up front, Bottas and Max in usual top 3, and Norris/Gasly in front of Ham... Basically potential to cancel out lots of overcut/undercut options including gap to midfield. I know it’s always like this but I reckon we could see the top 8 basically following each other.
Same. Come on Leclerc and FerrariHope he starts p1. I have him and verstappen in my fantasy
Wouldn't be surprised to see Max in WC lead tomorrow
Finally got round to watching qually, shame that leclerc crash robbed us of bottas and verstappen last flying lap. Lewis particularly critical of his engineers. Apparently on Thursday evenin he wanted to pursue a different setup that his engineers didnt agree with so hes pissed.
But Mercs are best car for looking after tyres so lewis will need a overcut and a great start. Tomorrow should be fascinating, hopefully we might get some rain as well.

All part of the Great Ferrari Masterplan ™
There is no way LeClerc did that on purpose. I'd be surprised if Max doesn't take the lead in the first lap. Hopefully, will be a very great race. Following this is our Game.
Leclerc is win it or bin it, if Max isn’t past by T1 it’s over unless he fancies a crash.
If Max is past he wins this race by a long distance, if he doesn’t I fancy the Top 8 will be bunched up for a long time.

Ferrari confirm Leclerc starts on pole, no damage to the gear box.
Will be a fun race (The first lap anyway).
*first corner
I am hopeful that he can make the podium. But everything is going to have to work perfectly.
Don't discount Bottas.
Hard to disagree with this.
Leclerc's gearbox will be carrying some damage, all depends if it holds out. Its a no brained running it, might fail in turn 1 or last the race.
Gearbox is fecked on Charles car, should have just taken a 5 grid penalty.
Looks like he is not even starting the race.
They took the gamble looks like its not paid off

Looking forward to this. Think it’s going to be tight at the front throughout thanks to two or three safety cars.
They should have taken the grid drop.
Does Rosberg's voice annoy anybody else or is it just me.
Charles looking bleak
Can you imagine the meltdown Santi is having right now
No not just you anyway. It's hard to find a more disingenuous sounding person. I always disliked him even when he was delivering exciting battles with Lewis because I couldn't get over how unlikeable he was.Does Rosberg's voice annoy anybody else or is it just me.
Are they allowed to do any testing over night in the sense of running through the gears whilst stationary or is the decision taken on purely a visual check? If the latter it's kind of an impossible decision if there's no obvious external damage.
Gutted for Charles.
Give it a few taps with a hammer and get on with it.
Yeah, not even count as decent presenter out there for me.Does Rosberg's voice annoy anybody else or is it just me.
Even Chandook seems more genuine to me.
Never underestimate Ferrari’s ability to make the wrong decision at every turn.
Ferrari are a shambles
Fair enough, I did say before it was a no brained not to change.
Although, in the end it’s ultimately Leclerc’s own fault.
Oh Ferrari. Leclerc’s awful Monaco record continues.
Its like a curse. Not meant to be.
While that is quite true, why have Ferrari discovered the problem now and not before.
Bottas better turn up today or else this will be a snooze fest.
They should have binned Binotto after cheating scandal last year.
Cant say i am not enjoyed it.
Cant say i am not enjoyed it.Now it is down to Bottas to get in front of Max.
What time is the race
