Really looking forward to seeing how the 2022 cars handle the Monaco track.

I expect that the difference in lap times compared to 2021 will be the biggest at this track for the whole season. Also, the budget cap will mean that less specialised parts will be developed for just a single race.

I'm going for Sainz to get his first win. He's class around Monaco and this Ferrari seems excellent with lots of downforce on.

Qualifying Top 5

1. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)
2. Carlos Sainz (Ferrari)
3. Sergio Perez (Red Bull)
4. Max Verstappen (Red Bull)
5. Lando Norris (McLaren)

Doubt that will be how they line up though, Perez may take a gearbox penalty and Sainz could get a reprimand with the subsequent 10 place drop

Raining in Monaco but it will likely be dry by the time the race starts.

 

[Son Of Jack]

Formation lap will start behind the safety car.

 

[Dylan]

Suspended start?

 

[Franco Pinion]

Doesn't look like extreme weather or heavy rain.

Not really sure why this is delayed or starting behind a safety car.

 

[Son Of Jack]

The rain is getting heavier but this is utterly ridiculous.

What next? Every time it rains they will bring out the safety car?

 

[Franco Pinion]

If they had started on time, we would have had a cracking race by now.
