Thanks for reminding me about it.

I hope this race revs up the excitement that was left wanting from that which was witnessed in Spain.

5 different manufacturers in the top 6 during practice... hope it stays that way for quali and the race!

So far its drama filled with Ferrari and Toyota (and maybe Red Bull) threatening to pull out of F1 next year if the 2 tier/$40 million cap is not recinded. Big meeting this afternoon to resolve the conflict.

No other sort does drama like F1.

Go Brawn Team & Jenson Button! ...again

nomcat · 05-24-2009, 09:37 AM

Well, that was the most boring Monaco GP in years.

Well done to JB for a dominating win, and Kimi for getting on the podium!

Wasn't that bad of a race for Monaco. Button has yet to put a wheel wrong this season. Monaco takes extreme concentration. Has to be one of the most difficult tracks to drive, no room for error except in the chicanes.

I am thoroughly enjoying this season.

Daniel_ · 05-25-2009, 02:17 AM

Loved it. To say it was dull is not totally true to my mind - the last 3rd of the race was a precession (last minute crash notwithstanding), but the opening 2/3 was great.

The tactics of tyre changes, the great start for Brawn, and various other things all made it a good watch.

I'm hoping that Button can keep up the good work and manage to grab the championship by the mid point of the season.

nomcat · 05-25-2009, 02:59 AM

Maybe my expectations were too high

BadNick · 05-25-2009, 09:06 AM

I also enjoyed the Monaco race...like Daniel pointed out, watching how the team strategies effected the race added to my interest, as well as the constant tension on the drivers for precision driving. That track is deeply imprinted in my mind so every time I watch the race I can almost feel it...or at least that's my fantasy.

fiatguy85 · 05-25-2009, 11:35 AM

Yeah, I thought it was a pretty good one for Monaco. I guess it's looking like this drama is gonna drag on for a bit longer :/

Strange Famous · 05-25-2009, 11:48 AM

Awful weekend for Lewis.

Not much more you can say - but someone needs to catch up to Brawn quickly or its gonna be a walkover. I cant see how Lewis can successfully defend his title now.
