The Monaco Grand Prix weekend went from bad to worse for Haas. After a good qualifying both drivers were disqualified for a technical infringement of the DRS-system, putting them both to the back of the grid. And from there the race only lasted one turn, as Kevin Magnussen tried to pass Sergio Pérez up Beau…
The Ferraris and McLarens picked the mediums for the start, with the Mercedes drivers and Max Verstappen starting on hards, looking to go longer in the first stint.

The disappointment continues in the Aston Martin camp as Fernando Alonso exits qualifying in Q1 for the second consecutive race after Imola last week.

The start of the Formula 2 feature race went without any major incidents or excessive corner cutting, except for Victor Martins who, again, had a poor getaway and dropped 14 places in the first lap. Jak Crawford gets a little nudge from Kush Maini in the Hotel Hairpin, hits the outside wall and is the…
The Formula 3 feature race rudely awakened the principality of Monaco with it’s 8:00 start, and unlike yesterday the track didn’t fell immediately silent. The start went a lot better than the one from the sprint race. Of course there were a few people cutting St. Devote, and some wheelbanging in occurred in the Hotel…
