Beautiful drive by Webber for the win. Was the favorite all weekend for me.

Stunning tyre whispering from WC Vettel to take him from 9 th to 4th. Intelligent stuff.

Alonso in a dodgy Ferrari shows why he is a true champion.

Well deserved win for RB....especially in cars that are certainly not the best.

What a bullshit race. Vettel driving like 40 laps on soft tires and the rest with new sets of it are 1 sec slower. What the hell.

Schumis race crushed again and the whole race itself was --- boring.

But well done Webbo.

Edit....maybe not....Twitter rumour.

It's not a rumor, on TF1, Jean Louis Moncet said Mclaren will protest after the race.

So far the rumours coming out is a DSQ from race standings a long with a WMSC hearing?

This is the nature of the twitter beast...only the FIA will publish their findings.
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

I'm now more convinced that Monaco should be taken off the calender. Overtaking was impossible.

Dodgy Ferrari? They had the 1st or 2nd best car today. If Ferrari would have left Fernando out before the first stop, he might have won the race. He gained two seconds on the field in one lap. It's definitely not a dodgy car. It's not the best car on the grid, but it's up there close.

Well If it is flagrant as they say, then McLaren ought to protest.
More could have been done.

I'd have to agree that I can't appreciate what I'm seeing here tbh.

Qualifying is pointless as simply getting into Q3 and not setting a time means your tyres will be fresh enough to just undercut people at the first stop.

People at the back of the grid doing laps upto three seconds faster than the drivers in front.

Drivers driving to a certain delta time as opposed to trying to pass.

Monaco is also an absolutely terrible track....

Bleh.

It was the worst race of 2012 and by a long, long way.

Pretty crazy race for Perez, I suspect he wll get punished for cutting the chicane when passing Kovalainen.

Ferrari could have played it more tactically by letting Massa through when he was faster than Fernando, they could've had 3-4 from this race.

another raced fixed for Rosberg. Schumacher's car another technical fault while Rosberg's is the metronome.Mercedes make me sick with their blatant favouritism. I hope they fall hard on their faces and the board votes tem out of F1 for good. What a joke
