Monaco is over, we are over. A race to forget or a race to celebrate? We aren’t sure. We enjoyed some Jägershots after race and to be honest it was pretty bitter and not only because Jägermeister is some great bitter drink. The weekend began late, we had some trouble arriving, usual business in Monaco. Streets are always busy and it’s easier to arrive with your personal yacht or motorcycle, but you can’t get your cars on track with a motorcycle.

After arrival we rushed to get our staff out of the boxes, even Manor was a bit quicker this time – what irony. We had some good laugh, when we saw that Manors box was full of water, but we are fair players and helped them. After all everything was prepared and practicing could begin following day. Merhi was quick in bed with his cuddle-blanket and enjoyed some dirty movies and Perez went out jogging. He knew the race would be though.

Practicing went well for Perez, P12 solid work, Merhi on 17. Roberto wasn’t happy about it and went quickly into his appartment. We didn’t see him till Qualifying. Quali wasn’t better. Perez 15th, Merhi 18th. Merhi was happy, but Perez was pissed. Our drivers are really sensible, sometimes. It was a good sign for Merhi beside the hard competition to be on 18th, but Perez thought he could’ve done better. There was no car on track, no yellow flag, nothing. He just made some mistakes and our competitors were just quicker.

Sunday – The morning began wonderful, the sun over Monaco is always nice and the track was in beautiful light. Everybody arrived at time and began working hard. The start was easy, nobody crashed, everything went well – unusual. There was something in the air we couldn’t smell, yet. Many cars crashed during the race and we said to both drivers to be defensive, no risk. Points were ahead, despite Force India beeing better. Was it because of the new ownership and the new name? We had no clue. Then suddenly out of nothing there was a car nobody expected.

Fucking Max Chilton. What was going on? That shitty little red car? We warned Roberto, but he couldn’t stand that little bastard. Chilton overtook Merhi. Roberto was really pissed and he wanted to fight for position, but we said that points are more important than a good fight. Robert kept cool and drove a solid pace. Perez currently on 8th and on high pressure by Manor couldn’t stand it. Overtoken by a Manor? Not with him. He lost. Perez crashed into the wall. Sometimes you just have to know where your limits are. Roberto knew it – Perez wanted too much. We congratulate Manor. Great race – you deserved it!
