Well done to Rosberg after securing pole and the win!!! I knew he was gonna do it, especially after he proved to be better at qualifying than lewis hamilton

[racechick]

Well done Roseberg for a fine run from pole to finish at that tricky track to retain a lead on, Monaco. And well done on the essential securing of pole, very cerebral!

Indeed!! If only hamilton had the presence of mind to set a better lap time at the beginning of the session like rosberg did....who knows what would have happened!!

Oh I think he had the presence of mind to select the best tactic for pole at Monaco. Save your banzai lap till the end when the track has evolved and you can afford to take a risk because it's the last run and Monaco punishes the slightest error. What he didn't account for was the fact that he would be punished by his team mates error.

He didn't account for normal monaco qualifying conditions. He had the presence of mind (or lack thereof) to select the best tactic for any other track, unlike rosberg, who promptly set the fastest lap of the session

And made sure no one was allowed to beat it.

Allegedly. Hamilton also allegedly had "something in [his] eye"

Even in the controversial circumstances, I am glad to see Nico take the win. It keeps the championship close, and I feel that Nico needed this win badly, in order to keep up momentum. Another win for Lewis may have been the beginning of the end.

Geet, I know you're a bit rambunctious since you've had little to cheer for this year but you're coming off as a troll at the moment. Rosberg has had his fill of sloppy seconds and he's not done yet.

Lewis' time just in the first sector was 5 tenth's up on Rosberg's "fantastic" pole foresight pole. Sometimes I'd rather be lucky than good, is the theme for the weekend.

Now, I was very curious about what Lewis had to say about his lap (it was two tenths up), so I took a peek at the FIA's list of fastest sector times. On his first run, which turned out to be the pole lap, Rosberg set a time of 19.826 for the first sector. Lewis' fastest S1 time for the session was 19.906. The only way I figured him saying he was two tenths up made any sense was if the S1 time for the previous fast run was around 20.1s...

Unless fastest sectors are only taken from completed laps. I don't know.

His last lap was classified, which is why I was curious.

[What's Burning?]

It was mentioned by the announcers that get real time for the sectors that Lewis was 5 tenths up on the first sector to Nico's pole lap. That's 5 tenths on the FIRST sector. The entire weekend Lewis was leaving stuff on the table in order to not have Nico's engineers go over where he's losing time to Lewis.

Doesn't matter, it won't happen again I'm sure. Nico will be enjoying the Monaco pole and win for the rest of the season!

[Denthúl]

For you, perhaps.

On the UK feed Brundle said that Lewis had more-or-less matched Nico, and the official timing supports that case rather than this five tenths.
