Grosjean with a 10 second stop-go penalty?

Interesting.

Not saying he didn't cause a number of problems earlier in the season, but that is unwarranted.

Brake?
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Didn't alonso just make a mistake on his own? I'm a sad panda right now. A very very sad panda. To consider I left my wife and kid sleeping pleasantly... nah, back to F1.

EDIT: Just saw the replay from Massa's view, racing incident with Kimi, whose front wing unsettles Alonso under braking.

I am not amazed by F1 cars in Monaco. I want to see them driving in the A8 highway: Variable radius corners, negative banking, and extreme narrowings that Tilke has never dreamed off. Oh, yes, and "beautiful" weather tops it all.

Wow, gutted. How did that happen?

Looked like Raikkonen nudged Alonso, huh? No penalty?

So another Vettel/RBR WDC then...

I imagine the McLaren mechanics probably quietly fist-pumped when they saw Perez overtake Lewis.

I'm guessing with Rosberg out they shut off the computers and sent the engineers home so they can save some money. :lol: :(

Of course to save even more money they'll probably retire Mike or forget to tighten a wheel nut.

It looked to me that Webber was going slow unexpectedly. But given the penalty, I guess it was Grosjean's fault. The stewards have much more information than I do.

The lack luster filled Vettel with his annoying stink finger :lol: :lol:

At least Japan puts on a beautiful face for Formula 1!
Well with a Vettel win, he is still 4 points behind Alonso.

I suppose the way I figure is if fortunes can change that quick for Alonso, they can change just as quickly for Vettel.
