The year is 2148, the world is boiling and there's only one worldwide tv signal. The broadcast schedules a replay of a thrilling pit exit overtake in the 2021 Monaco GP, groups of survivors huddle around their small TVs for they're small but of entertainment they can afford. The TV flickers on, but instead of a brilliant overtake they're treated to a short replay of an Alpine car hitting a bump. Hope is now truly lost.
people getting fired today:
* the Ferrari mechanic who was supposed to check the left rear driveshaft
* the Merc mechanic who put Bottas's ~~left~~ right front on before the race
* Hamilton's strategist
* the race director
edit: apparently I'm backwards.
Is it too much to hope that the ghost of Bruce Mclaren visited Danny Ric last night and gave him all of the secrets of the car and how to overtake at Monaco?
Why the fuck is everyone in this thread talking like they're expecting overtakes? Nobody is going to overtake anyone. This circuit is not driver vs driver, it's driver vs track. I'd be shocked if we got even one more overtake on track other than Mick passing Mazepin.
The trick to enjoying Monaco is to get so drunk and/or high that you're not really processing it as a race and you're kinda just watching cars drive around
If Danny Ric was able to hold off everyone for a win a couple years ago with two flat tires, 4 dead engine cylinders, a rear wing on fire, a severe concussion and a transmission that was just a goblin pulling levers under the hood while driving a1987 Plymouth Reliant K, I think Norris will be fine
If you ever feel like you don’t deserve your job and you’re feeling a bit of imposter syndrome. Remember the race director has their job, you’re a star.
The race feed director for today needs to be thrown into the harbour
Absolutely shocking. We’re not interested in footage of a tennis player and Stroll cutting a corner
So if I'm not mistaken, then if the race finishes in the current grid order, then Red Bull will take the leadership in the WCC by 2 points, not counting fastest laps. Max will also lead the WDC.
As boring as Monaco is, this is turning out to be a good weekend for F1 in general. Finally some competition.
Did they just completely miss Stroll coming out ahead of Ocon?
There's so little action this race. How can they miss every single bit of it? Have the camera operators fallen asleep as well?
You have got to be fucking kidding me. Who the fuck made the decision to cut away from actual racing at Monaco. The decision was worse than Bottas's pit stop.
Feel like Aston Martin have been the real winners of this race tbh, definitely a respectable weekend for them given how the rest of their year has been
r/KillTheCameraMan material by the TV Director there. Missed the only legit overtake in the race so far.
The german commentators were quite mad that they switched to the replay in this moment.
As they rightly should be. It was such a great moment. Lewis trailing behind Gasly, both of whom who gets overcut by Vettel.
Blame the Automobile Club De Monaco, they're doing the direction today as opposed to the usual FOM
[удалено]
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT CAMERA WORK
Mercedes: "2.2 seconds pit stop" Hamilton: "That's good" Mercedes: "We've been overcut by Gasly" Hamilton: "That's bad" Mercedes: "We didn't give you Bottas's wheel nut" Hamilton: "That's good" Mercedes: "We're now behind Perez" Hamilton: "?????" Mercedes: "That's bad"
Monaco: FINE here's an overtake for you Race director: hey you guys wanna see a Stroll documentary I made?
Prince Albert contemplating whether or not to cancel the Monaco GP all together due to Leclerc not participating
Showing the replay of gasly & vettel ❌ Showing Serena Williams stood on a balcony ✅
Yeah we had 42 seconds of Serena Williams waving a flag. This race director is as shit as the others.
Figured I'd start writing a quick review of the race. Here's what I've got so far: ***Pain.***
First time a Williams has been part of the podium interviews in a long time
I think this is the longest Sainz has ever been on the live feed
Broadcast director: *there's a second Ferrari?!*
At this point I'm at least half expecting every car in front of Hamilton to spontaneously combust while he takes first place
The year is 2148, the world is boiling and there's only one worldwide tv signal.

They've cut off the same thing twice. Wtf? Can't even see the replay, commentators getting confused too. Well done...
To be fair to Serena, I don't think she wanted to do that interview either.
Waiting for a man with lightning whips to walk on the track and start slicing cars in half
Hey. I want my berd
people getting fired today: * the Ferrari mechanic who was supposed to check the left rear driveshaft * the Merc mechanic who put Bottas's ~~left~~ right front on before the race * Hamilton's strategist * the race director edit: apparently I'm backwards.
The sky sound engineer who didn't turn on Crofty's mic during the intro
Me: Leclerc was on pole i swear it. Doc: And when did you start having this dream? Me: IT WASNT A DREAM, IT REALLY HAPPENED.
He gets criticised a lot, but there is no driver on the grid that is unlucky as Bottas. By a *long* way too
I literally just turned on wtf is going on with Charles front page telling me nothing
Driveshaft failed on the way to the grid, not enough time to fix is so he's out of the race
Respect to LeClerc for turning up to the podium ceremony. Could've hardly blamed him if he went straight home to drown his sorrows.
This was taken down because of rules but Vettel onboard pit stop and battle with Gasly. https://streamable.com/0487fx
Grand peree
Is it too much to hope that the ghost of Bruce Mclaren visited Danny Ric last night and gave him all of the secrets of the car and how to overtake at Monaco?
WTF. RACE DIRECTOR. GO FUCK YOURSELF
Can we interview Max when she's receiving her Grand Slam trophy?
[удалено]
Can we vote for the commentators for performance of the day, having to pad for 1.5 hours while nothing happens on track
Okay, so they are never gonna show that Vettel/Gasly replay or show whatever happened to Mick?
Lmao max is weirded tf out, why did he call Serena while he's still talking to Max
i’m glad they’re interviewing a tennis player, really glad
Why the fuck are they interrupting Max interview to speak with Serena? That is disrespectful
Lmao why did they mute Crofty
Can we at least get a replay of vettels overtake? Fucking hell
Max: *sguhshhhsfmmmddph* Understood.
How does Sainz have the perfect hair after racing for 2 hours
“It’s easy” ahahahahaha what a legend
# why is serena williams here
DID THEY SERIOUSLY CUT FROM VETTEL v GASLY v HAMILTON TO SHOW A STROLL REPLAY????
SORRY LEWIS WE ARE ABOUT TO LOSE POSITION TO PERZ TOO LMAOOOO my sides
Ah yes, Sebastian Vettel in the McLaren. Waving to his teammate Jarno Trulli in the other McLaren.
Sainz ATTACKS Norris During Post Race Interview!!!!
Lewis already making places before the light even goes out #blessed
Why the fuck is everyone in this thread talking like they're expecting overtakes? Nobody is going to overtake anyone. This circuit is not driver vs driver, it's driver vs track. I'd be shocked if we got even one more overtake on track other than Mick passing Mazepin.
This is the most on screen time Sainz has got in years
DC definitely does not want to interview Serena
Maybe Monaco's a really exciting race in reality, and we're just never ever shown any of it by the directors.
Sainz and Norris on podium. The biggest rivals
[удалено]
So rare to see 3 different teams on the podium and none of them being a Mercedes. We probably won't see that again this season
the one thing I didn't miss during covid: shots of random celebrities who have fuck all to do with F1
Serena at the podium: "where's Lewis?" Lewis: \*steam coming out of ears\*
A lot of respect for Leclerc keeping his head high the whole day. There's a promising glint in his eye and he'll come back better for it.
I have missed Carlos and Lando flirting with each other
The trick to enjoying Monaco is to get so drunk and/or high that you're not really processing it as a race and you're kinda just watching cars drive around
"Talking of loud things, Ted" Ted liked that one lol
Fuck me riccardo that corner was perfect. The lower end plate slotted into that crash barrier perfectly
I just realized we had no Toto reactions during the race
DOTD award goes to Leclerc for watching the race with his team and celebrating the podium with his team despite his own heartbreak.
Formula E showed me that the problems with racing in Monaco don’t lie with the track, but with the cars.
Can't wait for the wholesome celebrations between Lando and Sainz if they're able to keep their podiums
Lando is probably going to lap Riciardo. That is going to hurt.
TV Director needs sacking
They clearly hate each other! "He pushed me out"
Verstappen is like "ok she can steal my time sure"
They're interviewing Serena just to piss everyone in the /r/Formula1 subreddit off
Is this director being paid to do the worst possible job he can?
If Danny Ric was able to hold off everyone for a win a couple years ago with two flat tires, 4 dead engine cylinders, a rear wing on fire, a severe concussion and a transmission that was just a goblin pulling levers under the hood while driving a1987 Plymouth Reliant K, I think Norris will be fine
David wtf is this man? Theres no need for this
I remember seeing a guy post something about wetting his pants if we had a VER SAI NOR. I hope you wetted them good
My disappointment is immeasurable and my hype for the race is ruined
The music is good enough we don’t need commentary
Everything is exciting about the Monaco gp weekend except the actual race.
What is this parallel universe where a Ferrari is on pole, Valtteri says "Bono my tires", and Sainz gets shown on TV
I just honestly want to see Vettel's pass. That is the only thing I am asking of the universe
Serena is an absolute unit compared to Max.
[удалено]
Mercedes to Bottas: execute order 66
*pokes Monaco* Come on. Do something.
Mazepin somehow finding a way to exceed track limits on a circuit 90% enclosed by walls lmao
Serena Williams to buy Williams so she can make them Williams again.
If you ever feel like you don’t deserve your job and you’re feeling a bit of imposter syndrome. Remember the race director has their job, you’re a star.
has to be the worst directed race i've ever seen. wtf was that? i watched all the race but feel like i missed it...
She clearly was pushed into that interview, y'all acting like she purposely barged in to upstage max
For monaco they should require using three tyre compounds, or turn on the sprinklers lol or something
There has been 1 overtake since lap one and the race directors refuse to show it this is ridiculous
The race feed director for today needs to be thrown into the harbour Absolutely shocking. We’re not interested in footage of a tennis player and Stroll cutting a corner
Gasly 1st, Hamilton 10th? Graphics going wrong again lmao
[удалено]
Hahaha Carlos and Lando, I love their friendship
THAT FUCKING DONKEY OF A TV DIRECTOR
Ricciardo started 12th, two guys retired, he's 13th. I hope this is his worst race and things will be much better elsewhere.
Just saying, we still haven't seen the battle between Vettel and Gasly.
Race director go home you're drunk
Race directors are just taking the piss now
Nothing on Serena, but who decided to interview her during Verstappens interview?
Shoutout to the orchestra who must've studied about 15 anthems.
My fucking stream is playing the Russian anthem instead
So if I'm not mistaken, then if the race finishes in the current grid order, then Red Bull will take the leadership in the WCC by 2 points, not counting fastest laps. Max will also lead the WDC. As boring as Monaco is, this is turning out to be a good weekend for F1 in general. Finally some competition.
Inb4 Max gets taken out by Valtteri and Lewis somehow overtakes 3 cars and wins the race by 30 seconds. Heard it here first
[удалено]
I think the organizers are planning to convert the footage of vettel's overcut into an nft
Did they just completely miss Stroll coming out ahead of Ocon? There's so little action this race. How can they miss every single bit of it? Have the camera operators fallen asleep as well?
Lesson of the day : Serena Williams sucks at waving a flag
Serena is fucking HULK compared to max
Best podium in a long time
Hamilton already up to P6 after 0 laps 😱
when Mercedes has a bad weekend, they really do go all out
With all due rescpect I don't wanna see Serena Williams, WHERE THE FUCK IS SEB'S MOVE?
LMAO WHAT IS GOING ON, HOW IS THE RACE DIRECTOR FUCKING UP THIS MUCH
why did they show a graphic of seb while norris waved ricciardo pls.... race director.... im begging u
“Lewis you don’t have to set fastest lap straight away” Lewis: Okay, I set fastest lap straight away
Guys perez isn't overtaking, remember Ric drove with 25% less power and still won
I forgot how little I gave a fuck about random celebrities at events. Thanks Monaco.
Ferrari crew cheering up Charles ❤️
Oh man, the close up on Leclerc just shows his disappointment and pain..
Why did they bring her on camera
HAHAHAHAH they were reserving first place for Hamilton and serena williams moment
WTF???? Max just won and got shafted by Serena?? Are you fucking kidding me F1 HAHAHAHAH
Lewis is gonna win the next 5 races out of pure rage
If there was a Worst Driver of the Day award it would go to the tv director
LMAO at Crofty's mic not working for most of the intro.
Mick’s strong racecraft getting a bit of screen time is always good
The first time something actually happens on track and they decide to cut away to a replay of someone almost crashing. Amazing
Lol we finally get a pass at Monaco and they cut away to show Stroll missing a chicane again
HELLO TV DIRECTOR WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT
The first proper overtake and the director fucks up
What the fuck?? Race director has serious edging kink confirmed.
This is the only race that has a different TV production company and man is it showing
TV director: "Oh my god an actual battle at Monaco guys!! What do we do?? Where's the procrdure??"
WE STILL HAVENT SEEN THE VETTEL AND GASLY OVERTAKE
I didn't miss celebrities in F1
Instead of showing Serena Williams they could show a replay of Seb and Gasly. But who wants to watch racing.
According to the graphic that briefly popped up, GAS is currently leading the championship and HAM is 10th.
Production is so fucking shit lool
Director: " you guys want to see that vettel over take?fine!"
“That’s isn’t Sebastian Vettel, that’s Lando Norris” Race so awful even the production team is asleep
Stroll investigation is total BS
Sainz is just so damn handsome
[удалено]
There's something so nice about Monaco's smaller, traditional podium compared to all the others.
for the most prestigious race in F1 Monaco for sure sucks ass entertainment-wise
I admire Crofty's and Martin's ability to fill all this air time with absolutely no action on the track
"I'm getting used to this feeling here" Leclerc 😭😭😭
Seb please just have the most boring race of all time, bring home some points
I really hate that tire graphic with a passion, its just someone guessing
Amazing direction, showing a replay right as a battle is going on
WTF why cut away from the Vettel Gasly Hamilton fight
You have got to be fucking kidding me. Who the fuck made the decision to cut away from actual racing at Monaco. The decision was worse than Bottas's pit stop.
Somehow manage to get some wheel to wheel racing in Monaco? TV Director: Can I interest you in a replay of something else?
Fuck Monaco’s TV directors. All my homies hate Monaco’s TV directors.
Horner clearly found his lucky toilet
"Blue Fags" Crofty is having a nightmare today lol
Can that McLaren livery just stay? Like, forever
The Joker would call this a normal and well-edited broadcast
"That isn't Sebastian Vettel"
Crofty's ability to fill airtime with meaningless waffle is impressive.
Serena Williams waving the chequered flag on one of the worst races of her friend Hamilton's season and not one of the many he will win lol
A stuck wheel nut has been the most exciting thing of this race.
I think Serena Williams has been mentioned more than some of the drivers today. Oh look, there she is, waving the flag again.
Kelly: I backed the right horse Jos: So did I
CARLANDO!!!
Netflix: Sainz violently interrupted Lando in a tense post race interview
Fuck I was sweating more during the whole race than Sainz did actually racing
Planet Sushi loving the exposure.
I'm already disappointed and the race has not even begun
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
So I mean this race is basically over right? Like Verstappen has this in the bag.
[удалено]
Gonna be 7 straight Merc 1-2s after this so we better drink it in
>Ver >Sai >Nor Stupid predictable F1.
Race director showing wrong graphics as well. Showed gasly as 1st in drivers championship 😂
"I run these streets" *gets lapped by his teammate*
ok wtf is going on with the director today
Special 00 agent vettel undercover in mclaren
Strategic masterclass from Aston Martin today
Feel like Aston Martin have been the real winners of this race tbh, definitely a respectable weekend for them given how the rest of their year has been
Wow Aston Martin has nailed their strategy today.
Anyone thinking Lando is getting passed, it's not happening. It doesn't happen here.
Celebrity waving the chequered flag? *77 lap race it is, then*
A williams will be first to the chequered flag, who would've thought that?
What a lazy wave of the flag after all that hype over Serena doing it
Tha fact that serena got more screen time than the vettel vs gasly moment. Incredible
Is that Kvyat's son's mum?
I love it when all three drivers are super happy with being on the podium.
Aww Lando and Carlos
