Best wishes to you and your dad Mark.
For what it's worth if you can get into the game and distract yourself for an hour or so it will probably do you a world of good.

That was a cruel end after a long hard race  Sad 2 mins from the end I got a disco  Cry gutted after the day I’ve had.

Good turn out, qually was great, enjoyed the race as a tough challenge. Had 3rd place secured until that bitter end. Enjoyed chasing Fabri back down for Potential 2nd. Back markers were good, sorry to the orange march/McLaren? I thumped late in the race, assumed I was following you round the hairpin but you braked to let me past. Misunderstood sorry.

Congrats to Tim and Fabri

No problem Mark. Disaster of a race for me, my wheel refused to respond until I tried restarting my pc. By that time the race had long started, but I thought I might as well try to join in and at least score a point or two for finishing.  Could not find a rhythm here at all, and limped over the line in a car on three wheels, 11 laps down  Undecided

I quite enjoyed this race actually. Monaco is a always a bit love/hate, but the car was nice here. Had a few moments when my new seat started to move around, but managed to keep it out of the walls.
Too bad about the disco for MJ after keeping it on track for 44 minutes.  Tongue  I have no problems if Mark gets listed as finishing 3rd here.
 
Looking forward to the remainder of this series!

Good idea ! Fully agreed here. That disco at the very end of the race is so ridiculous.  Undecided

Sorry to hear Mark. Whish you the best.

Race report :
Maybe it's same for other Ford engine users, I can't hear my engine at start. My take off was good enough, but then I didn't get that I was max rev in 1st gear so that I lost a bit of time.
Then I did my only one contact (not so serious) and 2 cars passed me before the pool. After that Kimi was putting big pressure for a while, keeping it very clean.  thumbup1 Missed my breaking point at harbour, short-circuited the chicane or it was a clear spin, so I lost some time in order not to gain an advantage over him (who had followed me doing a fault too, even if less serious than me). Later he unfortunately lost control in Sainte Devote exit. After that it was a lonely race untill I had to let the fast guys lapping me (I hope it was clean enough guys).

Do 45 mins at Montecarlo is quite tiring, also physically.

I opted for the Softs, hoping to be able to annoy Fmg in the first laps, try to overtake him, and then "tap" him for the whole race. Unfortunately I qualified only third and therefore I was unable to try this tactic. In addition, Fmg with the Hards was perhaps faster than me with Softs.  Grin
I started well and I put pressure on Mark, I took advantage of his small mistake at the port chicane and I passed him. From mid race onwards he started earning a little bit every lap, but I managed to keep him at a safe distance until the end (up to 2 laps from the end).

A real shame for the Mark disco. Also for me it's okay to give him the 3rd place, definitely deserved.

Fmg is dominating the championship: 5 races, 5 wins, 5 pole positions, always in the lead. Another level. Impressive!
Maybe with the Williams I could have some (few) chances to try win some race, but with Ferrari is hard. In ever case is an honor to drive this car, and it is an occasion to remember the legendary Niki Lauda. So I don't regret my team choice.
I hope that in the future some drivers will join, like Jukka, to be able to fight with Fmg and make him a little of fun.

Mark, best wishes to you and your dad.

I really enjoyed Monaco, such a high risk/reward track!
I took it fairly steady in the opening laps as I'd chosen to run my 'safe' setup - this is pretty heavily understeery until everything is fully upto temperature and pressure, which takes roughly 5 laps based on my practising.
The other choice was the fast setup, but it was VERY loose in order to make the speed and I didn't trust myself over the full race. Especially as I know it is actually the slower of the 2 options in the latter stages of the 45 minutes.

This was probably a good choice as I managed to spin in the narrow section entering the start straight somewhere around halfway. I managed to spin the car back around and rejoined only 2 or 3 seconds ahead of Fabri Shocked
I made a point of not pushing after that and seemed to only slowly pull away from him whenever he had a slower lap. Until the end at least when I guess the tires were starting to hurt a bit.

Backmarkers did a good job as usual, I was very pleased when I saw them as I was getting lonely. On the more open circuits later in the season I'm tempted to start from the back one or 2 times (Unless Max or Jukka join us of course!) just so I can have some decent fights Grin
Or at the very least I guess I can qualify on the race setup to drop back a bit.

Well done to the podium (I'll count Mark among them as a final lap disco is just cruel) and to the finishers for making it around here.

Thanks for well wishes guys. Don’t know how I kept focus last night tbh.

Must admit whilst yet again in admiration of Fmg’s pace I did wish I or someone could keep up with him! I was actually on for a mid 32 lap time at end of qually but overcooked the chicane at the tunnel exit  Cry
And would/should have stayed on his tail for more laps than I did at race start as I got a frustrating loss of front grip at the same chicane on lap 3 or 4 that cost me 8 seconds to reverse from the Armco and allowed Fabri to romp past for my hard earned 2nd spot Sad
