Autosprint, an Italian specialist publication, said the incident reportedly happened at Cannes’ Gotha Club.

The reports also said Mercedes officials were already not happy with Hamilton, who had been asked to test in Barcelona but refused.

Hell no lol. Whats your setup?

Ok well I have 42 inch screens, pagnian GTultimate version 2 c#ckpit, with custom made handbrake setup,6 speed h pattern with sequential or paddle shift option as well, motion platform and Logitech driving force get wheel,Logitech gt29 wheel and thrust master Ferrari f1. Brought it bit by bit and since my accident and had to sell my kart I thought I would get something to replace it, not AS good but best I can do with what I can now, race heaps online with it, but it still gets boring, miss the real thing so bad.

Fighting words, and E might be correct, but he is forgetting that Ferrari has a best driver on the grid, and he makes the difference.

I don't doubt they can run with Ferrari at Monaco , lucky it's hard to pass so we don't have to hear Seb "what the fvck is he doing, are we racing or playing ping pong". Best driver? He's close but not there IMO. Until we see Seb win races consistantly in a car that's like 5 or so fastest, then he falls into that category,fact is he never has had a bad or terrible car like most champions of the past have had and have succeeded in. Now before you say I said something I didn't say, I think Vettel is a brilliant driver but until I see what he can do in a sub par car, then my thoughts won't change. And please don't bring up toro Rosso and monza because we all know the TR had wicked straight line speed and it was good in the wet.

Oh common again. How many drivers win on merit races consistently with fifth best car? I am getting really tired of such criteria placed upon Vettel (and only Vettel).

DR definitely didn't managed that, Alonso hasn't done it, and definitely neither Hamilton or anyone else in the past. There were some wins, like Vettel in TR, but there are always special circumstances when that happen. Seb won last year three races, but again, it was only because Mercedes faltered. Don't say that Vettel is a "brilliant" driver, when you do not mean it, and are continuously shooting him down, criticizing him, etc. I get it, you do not like him, and that's fine, but lets don't pretend that you are objective when talking about Vettel. Admittedly, I am not much better when words like DR, Hamilton, Button, Alonso, etc. creep into discussion, but at least I do not placing any criteria upon them. They can be whatever they are, I just do not care for them.

No I'm sick of how you put him on this pedistool and no one else's comments matter, it's like when sev had all theses issues, you had your head in the sand and besides its my opinion anyway, no need to loose your lid. I also hate how YOU make comments for me, I don't think he's an excellent driver? How do you know, your not me, you do t know what I am thinking. The other thing, I'll post something then a few hours you do the same and act like you've found it all because your to lazy to fully read other members posts, it's bloody frustrating.

Alonso is now confirming what we all knew (or at least suspected), that qualifying will be more important here than a race. Sounds illogical if one defines Monaco event in those terms, but I do agree with him. Being in the front means of being more than half way through the winning battle on Sunday. (I am sure every team is aware of it, so, no secrets, and Q3 is promising to be nerve-wrecking.) We shall see how nimble Ferrari is when in fight with rock solid Mercedes, while McLaren and RB are licking their lips (and hopefully wounds).

I really think redbull will do well here and if mclaren can make q3 there's a chance good points will be on offer. Today even if you have a faster car you can't pass here because you'll get penalised for having a go. Passing oportunities only come from the car ahead making a mistake.

Ferrari in the last race suffered from some slow pitstops, which, if repeated, would manage to lose a position or more, and probably a race.

If that happens it hurts more at Monaco than anywhere else because of you get released into traffic and your faster, you still can't get past and race is effectively done.

I am yet to see J. Clear's magic at work. So far, justly or not, ever since he came on board, Ferrari was plagued with all kind of misfortunes. Would be nice to clean up the perception, and lay down some evidence that he can do as good or better than his predecessor Massimo Rivola. I wasn't very happy to hear that he was hired, but I will not mind to be proven wrong. (This "love lost" goes back to his characterization of MS when he was working with JV).

Yep I feel ya sakae I feel the same way. I bet if wchumi was there now his attitude would be different. You look back at the schumi days and see how much schumi was hated. I think that's all down to simply having no other way to try rattle or beat the guy, the only thing left to do is bag him out. The amount of times a job on track needed to be done to either win or improve a result and he could do it, Spain 96 and Hungary 98 are probably schumachers best drives IMO ohh and Suzuka 2000, never seen a better drive since. Vettel shares a lot of that similar mindset also, Vettel seems to do well under pressure like we saw in Abu Dhabi 2010.

Why was he dirty? Only thing I can come up with is Monaco 2006 but that's even open to interpretation on weather he actually had an issue or not. People always whinge when your at the front, that's how you know your doing so well.

Iam going

1-Ricciardo

2-verstappen

3-rosberg

4-Vettel

5-Hamilton.

I picked redbull simply because there expecting and engine upgrade that apparently brings 0.3-0.5 sec a lap gain plus with there superior chassis, they'll be hard to beat.

Well based of the performance in Spain redbull showed and with an engine update along with a chassis that always goes well around Monaco, you would have to put them in as a big threat wouldn't you? I mean it's the only circuit where engine advantage isn't as significant but in saying that, it still makes a difference.
