F1 Monaco Grand Prix 2024

 Monaco race week 


Friday 24th may 

All week Charles and Oscar have been joking about Charles adopting him so f1 went along with that and during both practices Oscars name on the timing sheet and on all the screens was Oscar piastri-leclerc.


Qualifying day

Q1- everyone lines up in the pits a bit early before the beginning of quali. Stewards will be investigating Albon after qualifying for impeding Sainz. Fernando out along with Perez.

Q2- Hulkenberg impeding ocon investigated after session.

Q3- verstappen third until an minute left of quali when Russell pushes him down to fourth. Charles leclerc on pole in Monaco. Oscar piastri is second. Verstappen is starting the race tomorrow in 6th place.


Both Haas cars have failed their technical checks post qualifying. LHS and RHS were exceeding the allowed 85mm this usually results in disqualification from qualifying meaning both cars start at the back of the grid. It has been referred to the stewards.



Race day - Mika hakkinen is on the grid and was talking about how good the McLaren tribute livery to senna looks.

Start of lap one Carlos might be out due to a front left puncture. 

He's not.

Race is red flagged due to a crash between both Haas cars and Sergio Perez at beau rivage. Sergios car looks really bad but I'm pretty sure he is alright. There hasn't really been a crash that looks that bad in a while. This all happened in the first lap. The commentators are saying Kevin is at fault but I think Perez is at fault he pushed Kevin towards the wall then caught his own car on Kevin's front left wheel. They are showing replays of the other cars and ocon went into Gasly at the entrance to the tunnel.

 It's a standing start that 3:45 local time. Out of the race is Sergio Perez, Nico Hulkenberg, Kevin magnussen and Esteban ocon. Because of the red flag the cars don't have to pit if they don't want to I think. 

Charles new race engineer is really cute and funny they were jokingly arguing(I think) with each other on the radio.

 Lap 50 lances tyre just flew off as he was going into the pit it was the left rear tyre. 

Charles is my driver of the day as he has been doing so well in his home race. 

Charles leclerc wins the Monaco grand prix his home race for the first time in his career.

Lewis gets fastest lap. On the podium the prince of Monaco was close to tears in happiness about his driver and Prince Albert joined in with spraying the champagne.
