2024 F1 Monaco GP analysis by Peter Windsor

  • Ferrari's Charles Leclerc cruised to victory in his home race in Monte-Carlo, moving Prince Albert to tears on the podium and bringing the traffic in all of Monaco - and much of the south of France - to a standstill. It was also a big day for Pirelli, with their hard and medium compound tyres running the full GP distance non-stop due to a red flag incident on the opening lap. With every driver thus being given a free tyre change in the pit lane, and with Monaco uniquely offering a low-abrasion track surface, the onus was on Leclerc to run his hard-compound tyres through to the finish and to win at the slowest possible pace. On paper, Pirelli said that this would be possible. In reality, Leclerc was stepping into the F1 Unknown. He pulled it off, though, with McLaren-Mercedes' Oscar Piastri brilliantly chasing him virtually all the way. Indeed, the four leading drivers - Leclerc, Piastri, Ferrari's Carlos Sainz and McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris (all of whom switched to hard tyres for the re-start) - were often covered by no more than four seconds - a spectacular sight at Monaco, where the leader in other years has usually broken away to secure an easy margin. George Russell drove exceptionally well to finish fifth for Mercedes, running Pirelli mediums non-stop to beat Red Bull-Honda's Max Verstappen (who stopped on lap 52 to switch from mediums to used hards). Despite the fresh rubber, Verstappen could do nothing about Russell, who made no errors on his older tyres, thereby proving the concept of a "free stop" on this day to be moot. With camera set up in the Princess Grace Rose Garden, Peter Windsor looks back at a memorable day in the Principality.

      Charles deserved the win and 25 points, but Carlos and Ferrari were each gifted 15 undeserved points.
      Carlos punctured his tire by running into Piastri's McLaren. It was his fault, and yet he got way with it. Those additional points could be worth millions to either of the two teams come the end of the season. Yet another freebie for Ferrari.
      They should be winning every week as they get so much additional help from the FIA (Ferrari Investors Association) and the extra money they receive for 'good attendance' since the beginning of the F1 Championships.

      Still super happy that Charles achieved one of his great ambitions, but other than that there was no spectacle here.
      Sure Monaco has a long F1 tradition, but should Monaco keep out a better racing track purely because of said tradition? That is a debate to have.
      I think most people would probably prefer a track like Hockenheim back in the fray over Monaco

      Monaco is all about Saturday. The qualifying session is often so much more entertaining than almost all other venues for Saturdays. It does make Sunday tedious if it doesn't rain, but it's still great to see F1 cars there, and there are 23 other races if this weekend isn't for you.

      @ab8jeh This is such a lame argument for keeping Monaco. I'd even argue China was a more enjoyable qualifying than Monaco this year. We pretty much knew the order it was going to be before Q1. The race itself was absolutely pointless and brought nothing to the table. You had drivers going five seconds off the pace because they knew they could get away with it since it's impossible to overtake without having a massive tire offset, and even then it's not a simple pass

If you look at the racing line and how drivers approach the next corner, Checo was actually a bit farther left than ideal, meaning K-Mag was given space. He tagged the wall and spun into Checo. There was never going to be room for him as the line sweeps to the right before the left turn. Just really dumb.

If I remember correctly; Kmag had his front wheel slightly past the rear wheels of Checo. Checo steered a bit to the right, they collided and Kmag had nowhere to go except towards the wall. I'm not saying Checo was at fault, you can also say Kmag should have braked. It was a racing incident, in my opinion.

    I'm afraid Monaco has long outlived its expiry date. Unless you are actually there in person enjoying all the glitz and glamour, it simply doesn't make sense anymore. The track is way too narrow, and always has been. It's a ridiculous track to stage an F1 race. The race was very much a processional snore festival to watch, even though it was wonderful to see Leclerc take the win. Moreover, IMHO, F1 was much more interesting when it had two major tire manufacturers competing against one another.

      That's stupid. You realize how absurd it would be that you're able to repair and change substantial parts of your car including the suspension, wings or brakes during a red flag yet you're not able to change something as simple as a tire in order to try and create fake excitement/a fake scenario? That's never going to be done and for perfectly good reason.

    • @VeritasConquers
      @VeritasConquers 12 днів тому

      @@deyeatdapoopoo7582 you would still be allowed to change your set or compound during the red flag. The only change this would have is that changing compounds during the red flag WOULD NOT count as one of the two required compounds ran. It also wouldn’t really be meaningfully more wasteful because if you can make on one change during red flag then you can stop with 10 laps left and put on some scrubbed softs from FP since you only need a few laps. Also, this doesn’t happen every race.
      You could also just change the rules so that you can change to another set of the same compound unless wets are needed during a red flag. This would remove some of the strategy from the team’s control which is why I don’t like as much.

Seeing the back markers and midfield fly on fresh tyres through in the jeopardy of the top guys taking a fresh pair of boots and flying at the end, and the endless question of whether track position or fresh tyres were more important. Great race

    All good and well, but when drivers with seconds a lap pace advantage can not overtake, it is basically not a race. I would suggest to keep Monaco, but just make it a quali match with decreasing amounts of drop outs. Like: Saturday Q1 sees five out, Q2 sees four out, Q3 sees three out and then on Sunday the remaining eight drop out one by one. And off course do increasingly softer compounds when dry conditions.

    Charles finally winning his home GP with Ferrari was absolutely beautiful and brilliant to see. I was so happy. He deserved it more than anyone else. As for the racing part of the race, well it wasn't exactly thrilling but it also wasn't as bad as some negative people are making it out to be. But I was mostly just concentrated on nervously counting down the laps and hoping that nothing bad happens to Charles' car. It was such a wonderful moment when he crossed the finish line.
