Just watching practice, I can say this could be the toughest to predict yet. Alonso, massa, Hamilton, Barrichello and Trulli all look hooked up brilliantly. You cant count out Button and the red bulls, but I dont think it will be a business as usual thing to pick.

Well it's a shame that one Lewis Hamilton mashed his car in the qualifying! Grin

Still, Monaco could be won by any of the drivers on the grid, such an unpredictable race!

A lot of drivers going to be poorer after this weekend.
Not sure what a rear suspension setup runs at, probably about $80K
Massa can kiss goodbye to $30k for his little bump. Cheesy

Haha yup! Kinda annoyed about that Grin

On the plus side, I don't mind who wins so for a neutral, this is a fantastic race.
The cars really seem to be sliding around a lot this year, should make for a fantastic race. Even the practice sessions have been great to watch!

And started watching the classic GPs on BBC, they're pretty amazing!

That last lap I was convinced that he was very light due to his lack luster times in Q1, Q2 and really Q3 too. Brawn certainly seem to play their cards very close to the chest Cool

And Glock at 700kg, he will get lapped after 3 laps Grin

I can see why Vettel was so unhappy.
I'm thinking that knock really messed Massa up in the head as he was just so far off. On the plus side Ferrari are back, and with Turkey and the proper updates coming up next I cant wait.
Brawn did a hell of a job today in all fairness. Button needs to get into turn 1 first to win, With the exception of Austrlia he's not had one good start this season, so if ever there was a time to pull on out the bag tomorrow will be it.

Vettels predicted pit lap is: 13
Button:23
Kimi: 21
Barrichello: 24
Massa: 20

The question now is, why would red bull go so light? One safety car in the first 10 laps and his race will be ruined. For his to work he'll need a safety car about 3 laps before the leaders due pit stop and for there to be no traffic after his pit stop to hold him up. I can only guess he's on a risky 3 stopper.

Not a bad race. Good recovery by Brawn with the super soft tyres. Ferrari seem to have found some pace, but will it be there at the next race?

PS Not his fault, but nice to see Nelson is keeping the stats up Grin

Ferrari get their full diffusor, new suspension and wing updates in Turkey. Add in that Massa seems to be unbeatable round the track, we'll see how much of an advantage Brawn have. I cant wait personally.
Nice race by Jenson, and its nice to see him running down the pit straight lol. Grin

Good job by Bourdais getting a point.
Why BMW bothered showing up I have no idea.
