      Bad luck? Vettel made a mistake, that’s not bad luck – it’s an error.

      And if LeClerc is penalised, that’s because he made an error. Also not bad luck.

      Unreliability? Bad luck. To err is human, it isn’t bad luck.

         Surely then unreliability isn’t bad luck either? A drain cover destroying your car a la Russell in Baku is bad luck.

            Perhaps, but I guess it depends on the cause of the failure.

            Most things have a human element, but if it’s indirect, it tends to be cashed bad luck.

            Ferraris woes are directly human related.

               Cashed is an epic autocorrect failure of “called”

         I got my wording wrong, I should’ve said “misery” instead of “bad luck”. Obviously it was the driver’s fault in this instance.

         My bad. English ain’t my first language.

      There is no such thing as bad luck its just outcome of wrong decision. In case of Limping horses they decided to back a driver who is addicted to brainfarts and rookie who seems to make rookie mistakes.

         I don’t see anything wrong with calling drivers’ or engineers’ or mechanics’ or strategists’ etc mistakes or misfortunes bad luck in a generic sort of way. It is still bad luck for the team if something didn’t go according to plan when that was the last thing they needed.

            I really dont subscribe to concept of luck there is a deliberate decision made and action taken on that decision leading upto its outcome which on outside looks like luck. If it works then good luck else bad luck if it fails.

   I feel like Williams should use last year’s car, and modify it to this year’s specs. Last year they did a 1:12.8 in fp3, this year with what most regard as better drivers 1:14.0. It won’t be talked about much, but this weekend is showing that kubica has not lost his talent and is not handicapped to race at any f1 track, this was the big test especially the haipin, matched Russel in fp1 and fp2 and 2 tenths faster in fp3. He was always good at Monaco, beating Hamilton et Al in karting, Monaco Cup, and the 2010 race weekend was senna esque, putting a 4th best car on 2nd position and outqualifying his teammate by 1.4 seconds. I hope he has a good rest of the weekend in this terrible car. No updates since pre season testing, only Monaco specific adjustments this weekend, I don’t get it because Williams Has money.

      No, Williams doesn’t have enough money, and money is no guarantee either. If it was, Ferrari would win every year. Williams hasn’t enough of the right people nor the ability to react and develop quickly enough. Also this year’s tires are trickier than ever and they were already struggling to make tires work to their optimum last year. Williams have several major problems going on all at once, and lack of funds is only one of them.

   What is Leclerc risking? Starting from the back or just losing a mere couple of spots on the grid?

      Either a reprimand or 3 place grid penalty.

         Reprimand seems more likely.

   I’m not sure why McLaren keeps relying on Ferrari’s solution of the front wing. They are clearly losing in terms of downforce and if they do not improve rapidly in the qualifying, they can write the Monaco off.

   Ferrari has been backing the wrong horse. Wonder if they will stick with that decision as they have with the front wing concept?
