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.

that's a good thoughtMr Alcatraz wrote:Who will be the first to find the armco? My money is on Senna
other method is a using high velocity watercannon to shoot the bomb/triggermechanism to piecesrichard_leeds wrote:Yup, as far as I can gather the idea is that the bomb assembly is destroyed so that the main charge can't explode. Sad to say it, but this was regular feature on the news in the UK in the 80's. The police got so good at this that they could reassemble the bomb afterwards so they could learn how it worked and to identify each bomb maker's unique style

It's routine stuff for a well trained bomb disposal team. I expect the Monaco police will have plenty of expertise and know what they are doing. I wonder if they use the French army for bomb disposal services?
( No Pool Party after the win =( )

The pirellis are capable of shifting 15 litres per second each, so 60 for the whole car when travelling at 300kph, I would imagine the ebd addition to hindering visibility would be negligible. Certainly from my seat at turn 1 at Sepang this year visibility looked as atrocious as ever for following cars down the pit straight. I think the fia's biggest issue with running in the wet is standing water causing aqua planing as opposed to visibility issues.Gridlock wrote:It occurred to me that the FIA can afford to take a more lenient approach to running in wet weather now that the cars aren't blowing their exhaust directly onto the track 100% of the time, even through corners. The track might not dry as fast but I can't imagine the EBDs helped with visibility.
I must wonder why they've never come up with a speedway motorcycle style deflector to keep the spray down...Gridlock wrote:It occurred to me that the FIA can afford to take a more lenient approach to running in wet weather now that the cars aren't blowing their exhaust directly onto the track 100% of the time, even through corners.
