Verstappen wins ahead of LeClerc & Sainz. The race brought some action after the safety car but it seems like TV director missed most of that anyway.

Luckily we got some shots of people standing in the pit boxes and sitting on the grandstands!

Leclerc had DRS for several laps and couldn't overtake Verstappen. I insist that it's the cars that prevent action.

 

An IndyCar race there would be thrilling.

Meh. Maybe the start would be fun, if for once all drivers would actually be capable of simply performing a rolling start - which is an extreme rarity in IndyCar races on non-ovals, 9 out of 10 times they just aren't able to do that. At least in the previous race the race director finally waved the yellow for a retry when the field was, as per usual, all messed up before the start.

 

As we saw yesterday, there was quite some overtaking action, just less in the top-3 (which is fairly common).

That race was quite something. Long ago since I've seen four drivers in the fight for the win so deep in the race (apart from a last lap safety car or so). I know it's Monaco and so not a lot of overtaking chances, but there was a non-stop tension whether or not one of them would end up making a crucial mistake.

Perez should go and thank Sainz privately for being behind him, otherwise he would have gotten the bow down to your leader team order. F1 has been pretty good this year, but today was very dull. Let alone it was Monaco, where very few interesting things have happened after 2010, but they delayed the race, for what it seemed an eternity and then didn't even finish the full distance, because you know... TV time something something. Lame.

    • Just a bump reminder that we have the annual Stadium Race from Schalke FC's ground in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday evening.    
    • Since I didn't follow the Games that closely, two categories I'm having trouble finding candidates for are Comeback of the Year and the Olympic Spirit Award (the Paris 2024 award for individuals who exemplify the spirit of sportsmanship at the Games or have shown great determination in overcoming obstacles). If you guys have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.      Comeback of the Year   Adam Peaty (Swimming) Tom Daley (Diving) Kristof Milak (Swimming) Matteo Berrettini (Tennis) Paula Badosa (Tennis)  Sunisa Lee (Artistic Gymnastics)     Olympic Spirt Award   Fariba Hashimi (Road Cycling) Flavia Saraiva (Artistic Gymnastics) Ellie Black (Artistic Gymnastics) Csanad Gemsi (Fencing) Silina Pha Aphay (Athletics) Sander Skotheim (Athletics) Cindy Ngamba (Boxing)  
    • Have mercy, I can't last 18 days without sleep.  
    • This might be unpopular but it would allow way more sports and quotas and cities to host at a lower cost. 
    • I think Julia Tannheimer will continue to perform so well on the flatter courses in Ruhpolding and Antholz, which will suit her technique. Oberhof will be more exciting, the courses are very demanding, but quite comparable to the World Championships in Lenzerheide. That's why I'm really looking forward to Oberhof this season. Anyone who can cope well with the courses in Oberhof should also be able to run at the front at the World Championships.
    • My IF THE OLYMPICS WERE THIS CHRISTMAS predicted medal table   17-18-12---47 15-12-7---34 13-8-8---29 11-10-7---28 9-5-7---21 8-13-3---24 7-6-9---22 6-7-6---19 6-6-9---21 6-6-5---17 5-8-6---19 3-2-4---9 2-6-4---12 2-2-4---8 2-2-3---7 1-1-3---5 1-0-3---4 1-0-3---4 1-0-3---4 0-3-0---3 0-1-0---1 0-0-2---2 0-0-2---2 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1
    • Thanks for your predictions, they are very interesting.   But here it will be a different format. Combined events - pairs of athletes, one male/female will perform in downhill and other will perform in slalom. E.g. Team SUI 1 Odermatt plus Meillard.
    • Interesting (optimistic) predictions for GB. Don‘t See Them winning 5 golds (more than China and as many as Canada). I think 3 golds are more Realistic (Brookes + 2 in curling/skeleton). Especially gold for Bankes seems To be a rather optimistic prediction, given that Casta is 11 years younger and just beat Bankes.
    • Medal Table (Change from 2022)    - 20 (+4)  - 13 (+1)  - 13 (+5)  - 9 (+7)  - 9 (=)  - 7 (+2)  - 7 (=)  - 6 (-2)  - 6 (-1)  - 5 (+1)  - 5 (+4)  - 4 (+1)  - 4 (-5)  - 3 (+2)  - 2 (=)  - 1 (=)  - 1 (+1)      -5,  -2,  -2,  -2, , -1, , -1, , -1 fail to male the list   On 1st glance 1 feel I have underestimated Canada, Sweden and Finland, and overestimated GB (obviously) and Netherlands.    If the Russians aren't competing then the Norwegians will have a field day in cross country skiing, but it is too early to tell.   World cups and championships aren't always the best measure for some sports but it's the best I can find.      As an overall trend I feel this will be a strong games for the European nations (home advantage) but the Asian nations might struggle, not necessarily at the extent I predicted here but I don't think their results will be as good as Beijing.
