In fact FERNANDO did a perfect job as ever, unfortunately these guys are rarely seen on the TV during the races and 7th place just doesnt sound great....

I think the whole top 10 drove extremely well but none could achieve more with the Monaco characteristics. A pity FELIPE couldnt start at the front, would have been a mighty battle with JENSON...

How TOYOTA and BMW dont get their act together at the moment is a mystery......after all ROBERT would have gone close in Melbourne, NICK managed 2nd in Sepang and the TOYOTAs were rigt up there for the first 4 GP including their Bahrain front row...

Istanbul should be FELIPE territory!
I agree that Massa should have Turkey :shock: :shock: :wink:
Hopefully, while Massa enjoys such a diet, Webber doubters will be enjoying facial egg, Hambone will be eating humble pie, svelte Sutil will be subtle, Alonso will say so long to all but Webbo, The Brawns wll brawl and dnf, Vettel will be eating vittles in the pits, Moseley will have mosied off to the retirement village with his evil dwarf for company, and F1 will be alive again......... :D
Ahhh perchance to dream :cry:

Dream we must and dream we will!
Many different dreams.
Me I dream that F1 coverage will one day be accurate and inciteful.
That Mark will start winning the races he should. Barra will beat Jenson soon. That Fisi wins a point or two. That some of the poor performing drivers, Piquet Jr etc. will retire and say its not for me rather that get kicked out in a months time. That FOTA really stick together and make the FIA get back to racing at real circuits and not for TV audiences in Europe. There is more but alas I have awoken. :wink:
Maybe, perhaps, not sure

Very good point. I actually was going to mention that in my post race comment.

What is with Martin Brundle. He is starting to make too many mistakes which isn't common! Twice I think during the coverage of Monaco that he mentioned Renault and BMW Sauber using their KERS and it was well known that neither were!

Commentators usually have some weird views on things, here in the USA speed channels race highlights included Hamilton finishing 12th after starting at the back of the field.

He managed to pass 3 cars and thats a highlight??? :wtf:

Brundle hasn't been together since both he and Ayrton Senna hit Formula 1 the same year. After sometimes seeming to have the measure of Senna in Formula 3, he could never even get close to him when they entered Formula 1.

Actually Hamilton started 19th because Glock started from the pits. 6 cars didn't finish so Hamilton in effect only gained 1 place. Glock who started from the pits behind Hamilton finished 10th :shock: Strategy worked for Toyota for once :lol:

Maybe it has something to do with diamonds :wink:
I'm back and yes supporting Alonso "The Cute" in the Ferrari!
