Rosberg did 27 laps on the super soft before he finally pit. At such an early stage of the weekend, to be able to do that length of stint suggests Mercedes might just be able to do a one-stop...by Chris Medland 9:18 PM

Live commentary:
Mercs were in the 1m20s and then dropped in to the 1m19s before the tyres started dropping off slightly.

Not too bad.

[What's Burning?]

If there's a safety car session or two there may very well be a one stop possibility.

[Hammer278]

I'm sure Lotus will do a 1 stop. Redbull and Ferrari may go against the grain and do a 2, along with Mercedes. Depending when the first stop window opens of course. If Merc holds up the entire field or at least half of it, there is no chance for anyone else to make a 2 stop work.

Mercedes are gonna lead until the pit stop phase comes in, then everyone will pass. To be honest judging by the way Mercedes fall back, I think they will at least drop to 4th at the start of the race.

Don't be too sure! Monaco temperatures are nothing like it was in Spain and Bahrain....and everyone seems to forget they didn't have higher deg compared to others before these 2 races. Even in Msia and China they were holding out well.

True, but the way that Mercedes drops back is incredible.

[Hammer278]

The way Lewis dropped back ONCE this season in Barcelona was incredible. Nico got a 5th out of it...it was bad but not that shocking.

The Mclarens finished ahead of lewis! I was so happy!

[Hammer278]

It was indeed a great day for McLaren fans, getting a massive points haul of 6 WCC points. Hope they can keep it up.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

Am I the only one hoping Mercedes don't lock out the front row? It will make for a pretty boring race I think, what we need is Grosjean to qualify first

No, you're the only one
