No he didn't. It is one of the endplates that is damaged but Ferrari have decided not to change the wing. Rob Smedley has radioed Massa saying that the lap times are fine and to stay out.

Interesting to see is that despite many people in the media and in the paddock alike believing the Ferrari to be quite a hot running engine the Toro Rosso has a very little, or no cooling outlet at all here in Barcelona.

Also great pass on Vettel by Hamilton, very well done, nice clean and fair. We don't see that often enough. Great to see Schumacher's race craft too, holding back the faster Button without making any glaring mistakes.

Vettel only impressed me when he can start from the front.

Mercedes seems to have great low/medium speed traction.

In fairness to Vettel one has to say that he was very unlucky with the additional traffic of the Virgin when Hamilton exited the pit lane. Passing two cars around the outside is much more difficult.

Vettels adjustible front wing is stuck but the team have told him that it won't make any difference.

That screams McLaren front wing! I did notice it, but I don't remember any incident there involving Button or Hamilton.
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.

I thought that but don't recall anything with a McLaren either.

Could it be from Chandocks car?

That's from an HRT. Either Senna or Chandock
