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 think if you look at the situation carefully, you should be able to see the cause for concern is the front wing that was being dragged round the track under the car. What happens if the front wing comes off when the driver brakes for a corner, and then some other guy who's passing by hits it and causes a big crash ? It's good for Massa that he didn't violate yellows (there weren't any) but Vergne's situation was a yellow flag one.beelsebob wrote:Well a white flag does mean "car trundling round the track, watch out"...Shrieker wrote:They were waving whites while a car was trundling around with the front wing stuck under it's nose ? Wow.
Are you sure? Pole Position is usually awarded in Qualifying and the grid penalty is given for the grid, which is for the race?!ESPImperium wrote:
Nope, it dosnt count, Webber gets pole as pole is awarded before the race.

How is this relevant to Schumachers P1-lap? Why not let us have our moment? Oh, because you hate us perhaps?
Eat your humble pie.
No moment to have.

Oh thats ---.n smikle wrote:Nope. Pole position is awarded to the guy that sits on pole position (1st on the grid). Can't be explained any more than that.

Either we have a wrong idea what a drivers circuit is or some guys have lifted their reputations a fair bit today.
Davidson commented on it, so yup. He moved a little bit but not as much as usual. Car must be pretty supple.andartop wrote:Is it just me or did he just go straight at the downhill after casino rather than change his line to avoid the bumps?
Any better quality video would be greatly appreciated!
Look at his hand through the swimming pool section where Sergio had his problems.OhNoes wrote:[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-QdCMkd0lA[/youtube]mix2mix wrote:Is the onboard Shumi lap uploaded somewhere?
Yes, very surpising. Sorts of backs up my theory that the Merc has a soft/hard suspension mode.andartop wrote:Is it just me or did he just go straight at the downhill after casino rather than change his line to avoid the bumps?
