Well i love Monaco i am highly po'd that schumacher didnt win but there were several people to blame there, the saftey car Montoya, and Schumacher himself. However besides that incident as usual a good race, the sato incident was like alot of drivers said avoidable, and he was clearly in trouble from the start. the one thing that makes Monaco my second favorate is just how long the race is or at least feels, thanks to the average speed of 100mph, i couldnt imagine how tough it is on drivers, and thats why they say to be considered a true legend you had to win at monaco at least once. Unlucky Coulthard, Raikonnen who knows whats wrong there the kid cant catch a break a circuit where engines arnt tested to the limit and it still blows out. Barrichello god only knows whats going on there Schumachers car is perfect, its not gonna break down, i think the team now needs to focus on Rubens car. For those who are hoping this is a sign of things to come, think again:) while schumi wont get the perfect score, the rest of the season will be his. The next possibility for a level playing field will be china.

I guess i better comment, on the podium Roll Eyes Trulli drove an average race his strategy won him the race not his driving, as was evident by the way schumi was pulling him in quickly before the accident, and the way button was all over him in the last few laps. Button drove a good race, but he still isnt really good enough to actually win a race(heres the question, when he does win a race what are they going to do about the anthems:) play god save the queen twice? or since its partly an american team to save the horror of GSTQ twice will the play the american national anthem instead) hopefully we will see one day

Amazing that Schumi didn't make it...but the better for the other drivers. Congrats to Trulli and Button!

okie dokie the whole incident as follows.
Firstly the pace car sped up going through the tunnel naturally schumacher would do the same to generate heat in the tyres since they would cool very quickly in the tunnel, however the pace car then braked rather suddenly, you can see this by watching the brake lights. Schumi had to do the same only his brakes were by this time cold, they locked and he slid into the crap on the outside of the tunnel much like alonso did a few laps before(you never never go to the outside in the tunel) this cause him to slide back to the inside, during all of this montoya had also sped up and by the time schumacher had slid back there was nothing he could do and he ran into the back of schumi. No one person was to blame for the incident, and this years race will be discussed by many people for long after its finished

Going on the (relatively) old days when I was an F1 fanatic, when Mansell was at Williams I seem to remember you got GSTQ twice...

yeah it was the same with Hill. But BAR are British and American so would it be fair to play the american anthem in there?

true, Just curious:) been watching for some 18 years and its never really come up before Roll Eyes however with Button doing well we may see it at some point. Assuming schumacher doesnt go onto win every race left, and i pray that he does:)
