That one race is an example of why we must keep Monaco. Cyclic nature of the world:

Monaco Grand Prix

Year xxxx - Boring
Year yyyy - Boring
Year zzzz - Boring
Year mmmm - Interesting
Year llll - Boring
Year aaaa - Boring
Year dddd- Boring
Year hhhh - Great
Year pppp - Boring
Year ???? - Awesome

David Coulthard may never have won the WDC, but he is a VERY accomplished F1 driver, and anyone discounting him as "not good enough" needs to discount:

JPM
GF
JT
RS
OP
NH
MW

Exactly the same way.

David Coulthard winning in 2002 was the best race that he ever drove, winning in a car that should not be able to win.

I agree, K-D

Had I chose real years like

1990
1991
1992

Some poster (ease of argument let's refer to him as sqp) would challenge me on the boringness of 1992, why 1990 was NOT awesome, and how Senna could have won in 1990.

I would like it to be a wet Q1, wet Q2 - Dry start, then rain, then dry again. If that happens I don't care who wins, as long as it is Michael Schumacher.

If its wet q',s , according to Kappys wraps on him,Schuey will be starting behind Narain. Now that could be interesting at Monaco

Don't tell me another brain change required!!

No brain change required anymore JayVee

Its working well.

Anyone-means a DRIVER.N if you read my post correctly it stressed on drivers talent more than the car being dominant.

On Sunday,DRIVER would play a more important role than its fast car,as he's required to concentrate & be careful more than in any other race.
Ofcourse a good car is important,otherwise Narain would win the race starting 15th

in his Jordan

DRIVER + Car makes a difference in Monaco(if u see DRIVER word is in capital for more emphasis)

YES !!!!:D

Wet Q1&2 - Pole Michael,2-Narain(even in his Jordan-Toyota)

Race Result - Winner - Michael,2-Narain +0.145secs

lately I've seen a pattern abour MShumierda's fans...
looks like the ONLY way MS can win is if it rains in Q1 than again in Q2, and then again in the race... good in water, he'd go to Boats F1... Julian would like it!!

MS's capacity to win dismissed to weather... Nice.

i concur.

I PREDICT GEARBOX PROBLEMS IN AT LEAST ONE OF THE FERRARI'S.... (hope not in the RB's one...)

For the record my 8'n'pole guess, as well as explanation of how he will win on one-stopper is based on DRY conditions. I believ I already wrote as mcu, but if you have trouble understanding this, I repeat.

Michael Schumacher will win the Monaco Grand Prix under dry conditions from first practise till end of race.

Didnt u see Sgd,when the "MS-fans talk about wet & Schumi winning,non-MS fans dont even contradict it or even talk about their fav driver coming close forget winning

i wonder y

When its dry,everyone has its own opinion & mind u,MS-fans also do!!!they do not discount Schumi from winning

Weather report say 18-20deg on Sunday

(its similar to the weather at Imola)
