    I presume Trulli is there just to hold the ball up. I would of thought Petrov would be on the bench to then replace him at half time to make a real attack....

    Schumacher crosses the ball to Felipe and hits him in the head putting him in hospital.

    Trulli devises a plan for Nico and Seb to follow him in a line like a trulli train, to try and confuse the other side.

    Petrov keeps getting in Alonso's way during the match, just like Abu dhabi 10 so they are unable to score.

    Maldonado and Hulk kick the crap out of each other on who deserves to be with Williams.

    In the end Schumacher is left with Luizzi and Ambrosio at the back and just calls them idiots when he collides with them while trying to get the ball.

    I can't lose!:smiley:

    Man city who?

    It would be like Kubica, no one had any qualms while he was doing it, but everyone would suddenly know better than the teams once someone gets hurt.

    Looks like Seb and Alonso would rather train for Monaco, reckon both know it's going to take their all this year.

    Seems like the DRS zone is the same as last year (down the pit "straight")

    You can't seriously argue that Schumachers comeback will be regarded as more succesful than Raikkonens

    Schumacher has been back for 43 races and not got a single podium, Raikkonen has been back for 5 and got 2 already.

    Just watched the 08 race, something like that would be good. Mixed conditions and plenty going on with cars out of place everywhere <ok>

    Although the end of 82 was quite amusing, waiting for someone to turn up to win as they all took turns to fail in the closing laps <laugh>

    I remember on one of Murray Walker's old F1 videos he called that the craziest race he'd ever commentated on. I was in stitches the first time I watched it, especially once Daly's gearbox went.

    Speaking of a potentially wet Monaco. Found some interesting onboard laps of the last wet race back in 2008. It looks more difficult and risky to overtake than the dry because you never know how early the guy in front is going to break and how late he will be on the throttle. Kinda hoping it stays dry.

    The teams are pretty reliable with regards to weather forecasting, so this tweet by McLaren should encourage those that want a wet race..

    So, we arrive into a cloudy Monaco to find that the UK is experiencing a mini-heatwave! Rain's on the Monte-Carlo radar this weekend!

    I say Boo!!

    I've plumped for Bruno Senna. It was either him or Karthakaian, but surely the name will carry him to the chequered flag! I mean, there must be some reason he's in the Williams team other than sentimentality and sponsorship. I'm sure it won't be long before he puts in an average performance. Go Senna!

    Maybe I should just pretend to support the most successful driver of the moment like the glory hunting Man City "supporters" and Seb Vettel "fans".

    No. That would be lame. Go Senna! Or go Vergne! In fact go anyone who hasn't won already this season!
