LOL, sandbagging, on Monaco, cookie for you @Bram Hengeveld!

I don't think anyone was really pushing in FP1

Ah Red Bulls are sandbagging here?

Seems from reports that the final 10 minutes was cut because of a red flag because Kovalainen's engine spilt oil in the tunnel, as well as smoke, making it undriveable. I am guessing some of the fastest time would've been set in those final 10 minutes...

Likely... As Ross Brawn has stated, it's very important here to maximise your running time, as the tyres play a bigger role. First indication would be quali, as usual.

[Scott Webber]

LOL what?

In a way everyone is because Pole last year was 13.5 whereas the fastest lap yet is a 16.2

So we are quite some way from seeing who´s who in Monaco.

Kimi´s new helmet design.

Honestly... do they hire people with the IQ of a rock for press conferences?

The same happens here in Ice Hockey press conferences... Especially in the USA, Canada is a bit better on that point ! The New York Rangers coach always responds with a few vague words and quits after 2 minutes (Sometimes a few seconds actually, they are so awful most don,t even have a clue on what to ask)

 

[Hampus Andersson]

They should invite fans. They most of the time asks the most interesting questions that really makes the athlete feel interested in being there.

With JB on top in a Rain effected session I guess WE will have a Wet qualy as reports suggest Heavy rain in Formula1 website

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Been watching a few and this guy is my new idol

I would be the same, in fact i would probably take it one step further and ridicule them like Mika used to do.

You're from Quebec and you're not cheering for Brodeur?

I think it would be better to ask fan's questions instead of them asking them. The reason I say that is you don't want a bunch of retards creating havoc. There would also be the occasional person that's just there to troll or ask a completely inappropriate question. Although reporters may sometimes do that, they're most likely trained to ask questions and work for a company they don't want to make look bad.

This is exactly the scenario we have today.
Robots asking the same montone, dumb, ignorant got damn questions every single time.
Even though you find on occasion a really dumb question the fact is that they all are really.

Having a fan asking a question you would bring in a completely new perspective, someone who actually wants to ask the guys something interesting that also stimulates the drivers.
Also it´s a question that no reporter would ever dream of coming up because they are "brainwashed" by their job really.

Never seen a fan asking dumb questions outside America frankly (UFC press conf)
(no offense to americans, it just seems the dumb people flock to that event in USA)
