Mark Webber won his second Monaco Grand Prix in three years after starting from pole and not making a single mistake all through the race. It wasn't however easy, the next 5 runners finished within the next 6 seconds. Nico Rosberg was closest as he finished second while Fernando Alonso completed the podium in third place.
I've been saying he's too old all along but he goes ahead and makes me eat my words. The 43 year old pensioner shows the young guns round monaco, wow. That was really something.
I just can't help this one : It's 6-0, and Lewis more and more shows why he deserves a pay rise - along with definite number one status.

Education is that which allows a nation free, independent, reputable life, and function as a high society; or it condemns it to captivity and poverty.

Like I said last week, no complaining about tires next week when Schumacher takes the pole. Kind of pity about the penalty as it also puts Nico on the dirty side.
Interesting to hear about Kimi, looked very careful and a bit uncomfortable around the corners. Steering problems worse or the missing practise costing?
I have this weird feeling that Lewis is going to be under pressure from Grosjean and possibly everyone in the top ten behind him.....don't know why....
Also, the pole lap replay shows Schumacher going through the swimming pool chicanes ONE HANDED...WHILE adjusting the brake bias....
Remember when he said that his grandmother could drive these cars? Maybe he wasn't exaggerating lol.

Schumacher on pole - didin't see that coming. Too bad he has the penalty though. Webber has poor starts, probably Nico will go up to 1st, and I am expecting a good start from Grosjean too.
But then again, who are we to make predictions. Someone whos' name starts with P has to agree with us, and that isn't PdLR.

jeeeeezzzz I never knew a mid field driver could drive through the swimming pool section at 150 MPH 1 handed for the first half of the chicane ... HRT to win the championship from here.
Do you guys think Massa should be reprimanded or penalised for ignoring yellows in qualifying ?

If you are going to argue along those lines & then converting 3 poles into 0 wins & despite beating his team-mate 6-0 & still be marginally ahead in points proves Lewis should be given the Number 2 Status permanently.
And how many points do you get in Qualifying? Wasn't this the guy who got completely out-classed in Australia? It has been an above average performance from Lewis but nothing extra-ordinary in the RACE. Its just that Jenson has been a bit worse.
This does not take anything away from the fact that Lewis is one of the quickest in terms of Raw Speed but you arguing about a 6-0 Qualifying win only makes him look incompetent.

No, I think Vergne should get a smack on the face for rolling slow with the car damaged to get into the pits. And Massa was on white flags zone when he passed.
