Scott Mitchell-Malm

make some revisions they're all based on you know real world stuff that could be done not some fantasy of turning left down at portier and blasting down there so there are there are tweaks that can be done to make it wider but i think we have to live if monaco is going to stay on the calendar it's going to stay on it like this otherwise i think dreaming of a major overhaul is uh pretty much a waste of time

I think the naturalness of the speed that it just seems to just gets on and does it without a fuss.

But I also think there is a kind of mystique around him as well that we've started to see.

We discussed in the members club yesterday when he came into the press conference after qualifying yesterday, just in this

trance like state of things have been so intense he was kind of processing it and i spoke to toto wolf um earlier on say before the race and just mentioned showed him the pictures from yesterday he says he noticed this as well that he goes to speak to him after a race and kim is kind of staring into the distance just completely mentally exhausted and

In a way that Senna was sometimes as well, just this kind of whatever was going on and the mental effort they've gone into is kind of overwhelming them at the time.

So I think there are some elements there that potentially are very reminiscent of Senna.

It didn't look good.

It looked a bit strange, but...

I think, as Scott mentioned earlier, there isn't a regulation against it.

It's not unnecessarily dangerous.

He wasn't suddenly driving flat out and then slammed on the brakes and caught people by surprise.

It was just driving slowly and backing people up as others were doing.

Whether he thought it would give him the ability to then break free afterwards and minimise the losses...

up to him but there isn't a regulation that stops you doing it the fi could could argue that this kind of driving erratically if you wanted to clamp down on it but that then becomes a very uh subjective definition and you could get involved an awful lot of stuff so i think it's a monaco quirk it's not pretty um doesn't happen all the time um it's not ideal but i think it would have been a bit too harsh to penalize him for collisions taking place behind
