I think Checo deserves his own TAG Heuer Monaco from TH after winning the 2022 F1 Monaco GP ::psy::
Don’t you think? ::rimshot::

Good job they gave Max his before the race... haha

Wow, that's interesting... and gives him some freedom to race too! They obviously haven't learned from Toto's school of keeping number 2 drivers in line with one year contracts.

Maybe other teams been trying to get Perez? Thinking about McLaren for example and their huge mistake of signing with Ricciardo

Yeah, tough to leave Red Bull for McLaren though. Have to give up his TAGs for RM. 😒

Sadly, Dani Ric's best day could be behind him.

Another good day at the office for Max.

Noticed the black Monaco after qualifying.

Simply lovely!

Great to see another killer weekend for Russell, RB taking a big lead in the championship and Stroll being Stroll all throughout the weekend 👍

Saw this in a Ferrari F1 forum 🤦

It’s okay to be overtaken in a race but no multiple DNFs if you want to fight for championships 😲

Ferrari keep shooting themselves in the foot, Red Bull won't let Checo fight Max for a win, it's becoming all too easy for Max. It'll be a boring season if it continues on this way.

Ferrari has engine issues to sort out. 4/6 Ferrari powered cars were DNF in Baku. It seems they have a party mode in qualifying to clinch pole positions but can’t sustain it during races. Bottas has already 3x engine replacements this year (saved him from Baku race) Mercedes can probably fight again but their aero is worrisome..

Hats off and credits to Adrian Newey and (Honda) RB Powertrains 😉

Gotta smile at Merc, clearly they don't want to lift the car up to help with the porpoising because that would make them slower... I bet the cars behind are itching for Hamilton to throw in the towel. Meanwhile George is complaining but delivering week after week after week. In fact he is probably the most impressive driver of the season so far, although LeClerc deserves credit, he would be smashing the WDC if it weren't for Ferrari's reliability woes.

Sir LH44 is hurt. Merc needs to do something. It’s already becoming a health hazard/spine issue.

Yes, Merc and also the FIA need to do something. It’s not just a Mercedes problem, because Ferrari and other cars are also suffering -in different degrees- this issue… Magnussen also ended the race with pain. The top category in motorsports should not have cars bouncing that way, and inflicting pain on their drivers. If it's the ultimate technology category, and there's technology to fix that (like active suspension), it should be allowed. The show they are giving with those rebounds is quite ridiculous, but main reason would be safety and health.

Anyway it seems Hamilton is better one day later, and that he will race in Canada 👍

He could just sit on his wallet for padding?👍
Didn’t Mercedes stop all development on last years car to concentrate on the new car for the regs, seems they shouldn't have bothered, read someplace that raising the ride height would improve the the situation but of course less downforce lowers cornering speeds so slower lap times.

What’s the story behind this? Is this another mind games/psy-war sort of thing? 😕

Don’t agree. Max had two DNFs this season already.
