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.

yes, but we have a picture and I want to know exact to the meter where that sign is positioned. Even with google I couldn't manage it.
It seems that the sign is really still in the turn(T19). So it several meters earlier than 2011.?!
I have it, Picture points the wrong way. DRS-sign is app. doublesided. As it is already on the straight, the mediacentre data seems correct and they didn't change the location.Crucial_Xtreme wrote:Not sure if this helpsFrukostScones wrote:

Agreed, though it will mean that the burst into the light around the chicaine may be more dramatic.italian wrote:I think that the building ruins the traditional backgroundbeelsebob wrote:Given the building crane attached to the side of it, I'd say it's an extension of the hotel.n smikle wrote:IS that a ship?

On the eve of free practice which signals the start of the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, Fernando Alonso revealed to those in the paddock a new helmet that he has personally designed especially for this race. It was first seen on Twitter and boasts a white and gold livery, dedicated to the Principality and games of chance. It also features numbers that have a special significance in his life and in the history of the Scuderia, represented by the Ferrari 158, which was given its debut here in Monaco by Englishman John Surtees who went on to win the 1964 World Championship in that car. The helmet will be auctioned, with proceeds going to projects aimed at road safety for children run by the foundation that bears his name. It features a mix of strong emotions from the Asturian driver, who wanted to mix elements of the sacred and profane. The top of the helmet features cards, dice, chips, a roulette wheel and a yacht. In another reference to Ferrari, the back of the helmet bears the slogan “Bet on Red.” One of the most significant elements is the Cross of Victoria, a famous piece of pre-Roman Asturian art, which can be found in the Sacristy of the Salvatore Cathedral in his home town of Oviedo and which has become a symbol for Asturia. It bears the Latin inscription “Hoc tuetur segno Pio. Hoc vincitur segno inimicus” (“With this sign thou shalt defend the pious, with this sign thou shalt defeat the enemy.”) As for the numbers, starting with the lowest, there is a 5, representing Alonso’s car number, 14, a number that’s special to him, 19, his fastest race laps and corners at Monaco, 20, his poles in Formula 1, 30, his age, 70, for the Monaco Grand Prix’s seventieth anniversary, 75 his F1 podiums and 78, the number of race laps here.
