Monaco

[Fulmineus]

Renault 1-2.

[[!$$ueS]]

Low fuel i think. Didn't get too see what the commentators reckoned cos i was watching the FA Cup final build up.

[SylverFyre]

M schumacher 4th



\o/

[Smoo]

He'll be first by the first corner...

[Nor]

Will be the same old story I reckon. They'll hold Shumacher off till around the 2nd lot of pit stops then everyone will start going slower and he'll fly off into the horizon.

Hope I'm wrong and we get a good race though.

[GroovYF]

Nice to see Button up the front row again though :)

[Fulmineus]

The Renault's starts are so supreme that poor Button doesn't have a chance. Schumacher's got it all to do from 4th. That's why I reckon it'll be a Renault 1-2

[Nor]

1st lot of pitstops i meant

[GroovYF]

If they did run light for the quals, you can kinda see why, as it's a very hard track to overtake on, so getting as far to the front as possible is a good tactic.

Again though, like Nor, I think it'll be won on pitstops

[Fulmineus]

Schumacher's taking the piss with these laps :o

[GroovYF]

jumping 2 spots in a pitstop - bet he loved that :D

nasty smash earlier though :/

and lost almost half the starting number and not even half way through the race yet! Only 12 left at lap 34

[Fulmineus]

Well I never.

[gil]

cmon jensen! 4 seconds now!

[Nor]

Very close now, will prolly never be able to pass but be cool to see him on his gearbox.

[Fulmineus]

Bah.

[Nor]

Least it was abit more interesting than any other race so far.

[ezt]

that was how f1 ought to be :) Hurrah!

[GroovYF]

best race of the season so far, and best race for quite a while I think. Excitement++

and I agree with ezt :)

[[n00b].eesh.]

Fantastic race, loads of incidents, lots of talking points, some great driving!

That was a proper race!

[Whippy]

Yep, amazing race - I though Button was a bit unfortunate in catching that back-marker at the wrong moment on the last lap.

Trulli wins his first GP so grats to him aswell. Better than seeing the Red Army walk away with it. Schumacher's move in the tunnel was a bit stupid aswell, his own fault.

[[n00b].eesh.]

Alonso's move in the tunnel wins the award for stupid action of the day, when has anyone ever tried overtaking in the tunnel ????

Insania!

[GroovYF]

quite enjoyed seeing him vent his anger at Ralf whilst he was sliding backwards past him :E

[Nor]

Depends if Ralf had slowed and left him no where to go. Have to blame Michael for incident with JuanPablo. He jumped on the brakes in the pitch black tunnel and Juan had no place to go.

This was definately the best race of the season, but yet again we're insanely happy about a race with no overtaking.

[Fulmineus]

There's never overtaking in Monaco, it's just physically impossible.

[GroovYF]

rofl at Alonso's comment about ralf and driving accidents! Said pretty much any incident involving Ralf is always his fault :D

Alsonso claims Ralf hit the gas as they were side by side

[[n00b].eesh.]

You expect no overtaking at monaco though.

[[n00b].eesh.]

Damn me and my walk away from keyboard antics.

[Bugstomper]

Well i think both ralf and michael were to blame for their incidents and if it wasn't for the fact their name is schumacher they should both be punished by the stewards for it, especially ralf. Deliberatly lifting off or braking hard in the tunnel could have caused an even bigger crash and shouldn't go unpunished, but it will.

Thing about monaco is the race is always dull, but because they show the incar camera we're fooled into thinking it's exciting because it is exciting watching one car drive around the circuit.

good to see button going well, but if he doesn't win a race soon he might dry up his chances as the other cars are more likely to improve past him than bar is to catch ferrari.

[Doony]

i don't mind the non overtaking at monaco, in 1992 when mansell came out of the pits with 12 laps to go, stuck 3 inches from the back of sennas mclaren, was some of the most thrilling racing i've seen, even though you knew he had no chance of passing him, and seeing button close trulli down with a sterling never say die attitude, was a pleasure to watch.

i agree ralf should be punished, specially with the amount of accidents he's caused this year, why anyone would want to employ him for next season i don't know. i'd say montoya and schumacer were 50/50 on that tunnel one though, montoya should have hung back, and schumacer shouldn't go locking up brakes in a dark tunnel, but was all entertaining, and wouldn't help but smile when he came out the other end minus a wheel and nose :)

[[n00b].eesh.]

When's Brazil? That was by far the best race last year.

[GroovYF]

:lol:

I had a good laugh watching Brazil race last year.
All the cars coming off at the same corner. Was like a comedy out-takes show :E
