[Official] Team of the race: Monaco Grand Prix

[Born Racer]

Who is your team of the race?

[Lazyking]

Force India for getting solidly into the points.. Seeing as the mercs qualified on the front row, rewarding them seems silly when both don't get a podium.

[jsTrecu]

Mercedes screwed it with Hamilton's pit stop, so I will give it to RedBull for getting both cars into the podium and play the waiting game properly.

Red Bull. Tricky to overtake and tricky to get the undercut right but got their guys on the podium, giving Vettel 2nd place and extending his lead.

Obviously Red Bull wasn't the best team here. They had nothing on Mercedes. The only reason they finished ahead of Lewis is dumb luck. Had the safety car come out at a different time, they wouldn't have finished ahead of Hamilton. After they ended up ahead, Lewis was faster but couldn't quite pull off a pass because it's Monaco, where it's possible but notoriously difficult.

Also, I have to give Mercedes credit for going faster longer than the other teams, which is especially huge after their history of demolishing tires.

[Aysedasi]

Force India for me.

[Lancsbreaker]

Force India for me too....MB cocked up (or let Lewis cock-up) his Safety Car pit stop, and Red Bull didn't do anything to push for a win.....that ain't racing!

[Bononi]

Force India doing a good job.

I don't put it down purely to dumb luck, Mercedes messed up with that pit stop of Hamilton's; maybe it was a bit of poetic justice for their tyre foray in Barcelona?

Actually it was not dumb luck for Red Bull, just dumb from Hamilton and Mercedes for not being aware

Force India for me

[GT6]

Force india for me, a very good result for the team

[Grandpa_Rob]

Mercedes at the pointy end all weekend.

[stripedcat]

I'm going to give it to Force India for being a midfield team which manages to get both cars into the points.

Red Bull Racing did no shenanigans and had an excellent 2-3 in Montecarlo.

I agree, they used the FCY to their advantage; Mercedes messed up Hamilton's pit stop and didn't, subsequently Hamilton lost out.
