I'm astonished by Webber's time, completely out of no where. That final sector, you can see how well he hooks that car up.

How good is it for a Schumi fan to see "P1" alongside Michael Schumacher !

Shame he has this *** penalty !

Great great work by Webber, Lewis and Grosjean as well.

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.

An unexpected surprise, indeed. And sticking it to his teammate who mind-bogglingly decides to just save tyres for the 2nd race in a row.

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.

sky just showed his lap.
he takes his hand off the wheel on the entry to swimming pool to change brake bias mid corner.

ive seen f1 since 1994 and ive never seen that before. that is absurd.

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 ?

Nice to see the Schumacher fans are still in denial about his crash in Spain.

He was at fault for that...take the blinders off.

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.

I am pretty sure Massa passed white flags (slow car ahead) not yellow flags

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.

They were definitely white flags
