• HAM and RUS at Monaco 2022

    From geoff@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 30 14:25:36 2022
    RUS seemed unable to make significant gains on the car in front in the
    latter stages. Maybe HAM just decided to cut his losses and settle for
    being stuck behind ALO.

    As in the rest of the season so far, HAM seems to have lost his mojo,
    and instead of driving his heart out appears to put more energy (and concentration) into moaning about everything.

    In the race I watched, Hamilton pushed like hell for many laps to try
    to pass both Ocon and then Alonso. Alonso was able to run 3 seconds off
    the pace and still hold Lewis behind. I'm not sure what you expect;
    it's Monaco.

    I was a little disappointed they did not pit Russell when Lando came
    in. It would have given the front runners something to think about and
    a fastest lap shootout.

    Presumably HAM realised there was no point and simply gave up. Rather
    that end up in a conflagration.

    Yeah. Merc's strategies have always seemed either a bit late, inept, or non-existent this year.
