Bradley’s write-up: Bird and Coletti take wins amid Monaco carnage

Coletti wins, from Quaiffe-Hobbs and Evans.

25 starters, 25 finishers – it can be done!

It has been explained why Frijns was not allowed to restart the race. He got out of his car, which was then cleared away, which is akin to forefeiting.

If Cecotto was right to receive a ban, it should have been from the entire next event. For this incident, I think the ban was harsh, but in the grand scheme of things deserved – but too late, IMO.
GP2 as an […]

An interesting article here regarding how the Cecotto incident should be looked at and how it could have been handled in a better way.

This is not the first time in motorsport we’ve seen a dangerous driver punished harshly for an incident, when the real reason is previous stupidity that inexplicably escaped sanction. It’s hard to believe that […]

Seems a good decision @bascb. Not to say it wasn’t fun watching drivers run up the track to try and get started anyway.

The idea was that there was 15 minutes to the restart. But they already started putting cars on trucks that were strewn about the track, so everyone who was not able to immediately drive on, and got out of their […]

Frijns was not allowed to restart because he had a puncture? That’s completely ridiculous! Why would they not allow any car to restart anyway, if it can be fixed in time? Truly baffling, especially considering […]

Drivers are pretty […]

@BasCB I was thinking the same thing. At least they’re being consistent.. I was also thinking about the use of banning Grosjean for a race, while the guys in GP2 get away with driving that would even be penalized […]

I’m just… lost for words here. I really don’t understand the stewards. It’s exactly as @bascb says: if you do something purposefully, it shoulds be punished 100 times more severely than accidents. What […]

He finally got a penalty! FINALLY! He deserved a penalty since Malaysia, I think he deserves more a ban than a penalty. He has been completely ridiculous defending positions!

Strange, you get banned for a mistake at the start causing a crash, but not for dangerous driving. Much like we saw in F1 last year when Grosjean got the ban for the Spa start gaffe, but Maldonado’s dangerous […]

Thank goodness they have finally taken an action against him.

Hope that Cecotto learns from this. He’s clearly quick and has a decent amount of talent but it would be a shame if was to be wasted because he’s […]

A suspension for Cecotto is long overdue, he should have had one after that outrageous incident with Bird in Malaysia. That was done maliciously, while this was sheer incompetence.

Cecotto has been suspended from Monaco Sprint race for the Ste Devote crash

So gutted for Leimer; had Cecotto not outbraked himself, Leimer probably would have ended up third or so.
