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.
There were n yellows- so no problem....Shrieker wrote:Do you guys think Massa should be reprimanded or penalised for ignoring yellows in qualifying ?
It looked like he clipped the barrier with the front left on the corner just before the chicane.elf341 wrote:I was watching it on Sky F1, and one of them, I think Brundle,referred to the fact that it looked like a front left suspension problem which was exactly the same place that Maldonado hit and that it may have been linked...PeteUK wrote:Does anyone think that the incident between Maldonado and Perez could have caused the later failure in Q1 for Perez? Nasty crash.
Either way, having your steering not work on a circuit like Monaco must be a bit scary for the driver!
That's what I saw too. The video replay also seemed to show a puff of smoke just prior to contact. Like he'd briefly locked up the left while grazing the barrier.kenny5 wrote: It looked like he clipped the barrier with the front left on the corner just before the chicane.
Don't know how much you can see of it, but Schumacher's tyres looked fresh as a daisy when he got out.nacho wrote:Kimi says he couldn't get tires working properly. Maybe the tire saving thing goes hand in hand with this car, their strength in saving tires in races 'causes problems to get them working in qualifying. The opposite with Mercedes.
Nope, it dosnt count, Webber gets pole as pole is awarded before the race.MadMatt wrote:Sorry for this question, but will MS' pole position count in the history books or because of the penalty it won't count as a "real" pole ?
Are you sure? Can't find confirmation anywhere.siskue2005 wrote:some people and even reputed sites like autosport have doubt whether this pole go as 69th pole or not coz of penalty
so to clear it, the penalty is for race grid position only
so he has pole for the quly session
which means he has his record books with 69th pole today =D>
Monaco is about carying speed trough the corners, something Massa is quite good at.marcush. wrote:massa suddenly on par with Alonso on a drivers circuit? Either we have a wrong idea what a drivers circuit is or some guys have lifted their reputations a fair bit today.
