Given the Scuderia's woes of late, I won't be surprised if Ferrari tells Raikkonen and Massa, who are 3rd and 4th at present, to preserve their positions unless they can catch the Brawn cars........ :shock:

Kovalainen on his retirement from Monaco.........
I just lost the car at the high-speed chicane. I lost the rear end and couldn't catch it. That was it. Nico was in front of me all the way; I had a difficult time at start of race getting the tyres to grip but things were going okay before the crash: I tried to follow him close and would have attacked when he pitted the next time.

Glock has just passed Heidfeld and now Hamilton is chasing him. This is the fight for 12th.

Nakajima pits, most likely a problem!

Things are pretty much stable with 5 laps to go and unless a mechanical failure or driver error, the top 8 positions will remain pretty much the same.

Another piece of Yahoo/Eurosport sarcasm..........
Hamilton setting personal best sectors all over the place with his new nose. Perhaps if Nicole Scherzinger asks him nicely, he'll buy her a new nose too.
