with the old boy showing what true pace the mercedes has,i expect a rosberg win today

with grosjean keeping him honest and the old boy getting on the podium

mclaren will probably shoot themselves in the foot again

webber hasn't got on top of the tyre issues

Get ready for the most boring race in the F1 calendar, the tax haven for the rich that is Monaco, in which old and young reporters get excited about semi naked women like school boys who have just found their first porn mag. And a race where there maybe the possibility of an overtake but this is highly unlikely. Its basically the fastest tour of a country in the world. Oh look the casino, oh look the harbour. Whilst we secretly hope for an interesting crash in the tunnel nothing to bad but just something that looks good. All looked on by big boats which everyone dreams they could afford and then works out if they saved up their yearly wage they might be able to afford it after 40yrs.

maybe watching on tv

but it's one of the few places you can experience the sheer noise,smell and power of a F1 car up close

i've been to quite a few and this one's up there as a favourite

I love this race it might be boring in terms of overtaking, but technically its a demanding track, i love it

 

[philsussex]

Come on McLaren!

 

[philsussex]

Safety car already. Quelle surprise.

 

[Woodchip]

Possibly light rain in 4 minutes...

 

[Falkor]

Rain wohoooooo

 

[Woodchip]

Rosberg pits with rain on the cards? Risky gamble there.

 

[Falkor]

Rain seems here now

 

[philsussex]

Rain seems here now

Good. Hope it plays into McLaren's hands.

The FIA Formula One World Championship might aswel be called the FIA Pirelli Tyre Challenge. I'm sorry but if the Best Drivers in the world can't push themselves or the cars to the full potential what's the point? Bring back the old days with NO pit stops (apart from rain or repair), NO re-fuelling and tyres that will start to go off in the last 10 laps. Thats what makes exciting racing. Senna was a genious on used tyres, as is Hamilton (see GP2 2006). Also MotoGP and World/British Superbikes is brilliant to watch.

well monaco (ok, is the jewel in the FIA crown) but doesn't allow for overtaking. I know they have brought DRS and KERS in to play again this season, but due to Monaco being so tight, if is almost impossible to overtake.

time it went.....

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Monaco ZzzzZzzz

Nah I am afraid that once again McLaren's strategy and pit stop execution have cost Hamilton 2 places. When will they learn? they have been out thought by Ferrari and Red Bull today.

 

[Falkor]

Anyone watched the Le Mans Davidson crashed hugely and has broken his back in 2 places

It worked for them in Canada though didn't it.

He's broken his T11 and T12, which is expected to heal in 3 months.

BBC Sport - Anthony Davidson breaks back after Le Mans 24 Hour accident

[Northstander]

Valencia, why is this race still in the calendar....arguably slowest track on the F1 circuit
