Today's Monaco Grand Prix

[Icy Gull]

Expect it to be FULL of drama as the weather forecast is rain and without traction control this year and the fact that the cars pass within inches of the barriers expect some fairly hairy driving.

Hamilton on the 2nd row and an all Ferrari front row.

Can't wait :yahoo:

 

[Wardy]

Cannot help but feel that the two Ferrari's are running a light load. If it rains throughout the race then this will play right in to their hands. However if it starts and stops then they will lose any advantage that they will have gained.

 

[Icy Gull]

If Hamilton can repeat his blistering start at the last GP it will be an interesting 1st corner and like you I feel he may be fuelled quite a bit heavier which won't help his start and ability to use what seems to be a better 1st lap grip from the tyres than Ferrari.

 

[Marc]

I *might* acutally watch this one unless I'm racing online at the time!

Was gonna do the Odean thing too, they are showing it live and uninterrupted!

 

[vegster]

This could all ride on the first corner.. I fear that unless Hamilton gets in between the Ferrari's it will be a procession. I also fear that if he goes for it he may get smeared at that first corner....oh dear...

 

[Gully]

This is probably the race where pit-stops and the weather have the greatest impact, misjudging when to stop can leave a driver stuck behind back markers or losing vital and hard to make-up places, rain showers resulting in a greasy track usually has just one result.

Could be a very interesting race today.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Can't wait for it to begin. Hopefully Lewis can win and then Donny can win too

 

[Trigger]

Just started to rain again, no-one knows which tyres to use, this is going to go horribly wrong...

 

[Hockley Blues]

Just about to rain...this could be carnage.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Hopefully Lewis can nick it at the first corner

 

[Northstander]

OH Dear Hamilton



*reaches for remote to change channel*

 

[Northstander]

The Mayhem is starting, this wil help Hamilton

 

[dougdeep]

Looks cut and dried.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Safety car out - bad news for Hamilton - they all group up and his big lead counts for nothing

Looks like you spoke too soon Dougdeep

 

[SNOOBS]

What does that timer mean counting down?

What does that timer mean counting down?

That's the time left in the race.

 

[SNOOBS]

That's the time left in the race.

What happened to the laps

 

[dougdeep]

There is a two hour time limit.

 

[dougdeep]

3pts clear at the top of the table.

Nice one Lewis! And - bless! - he apologised to his team for hitting the barrier earlydoors
