Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco 2012 Chat and Predictions

Yeah nothing really went for him today. He suggested that he had quite good pace but was just stuck behind the Caterham who had good traction and was placing it to defend from Button, so it was impossible for him to get passed. Hopefully things will be better in Montreal.

 

What is going on with Hamilton's sideburns/facial hair/mutton chop?

 

Losing my faith to be honest, but Montreal is always fun at least.

 

Well done Mark, he deserves it well and truly.

Nico did a good job to keep on his tail all the way through. Both Ferrari's in the points is impressive to see where they were at the start of the season, same to FI.
Well done to Heikki also, what a guy.

Today proved that Mercedes have a complete lack of an ability to keep both cars running on the track, any more children on here ready to take chunks out of Schumacher need to grow out of it.
Commiserations to Button also.

Mercedes will be back in Canada I reckon, same track structure to Monaco. Hopefully there they can stop letting Schumacher down.

 

Not the most exciting races but great driving from the top 6 drivers. In contrast, Button was really poor.

 

Yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!whoooooooo! Webbbbbbbbber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

They mess up all Hamilton's pit stops, his start and now they're dropping cards onto his visor so he can't see! McLaren are trying very hard to ensure he loses this championship.

 

I think News has just reached our resident Australian

 

Was it Mclarens pit board? I thought it was someone elses.

 

At least he did not have car balance problems this race which is a positive.

 

Possibly, I wasn't sure - you're probably right. McLaren proably paid them to do it!

 

Mercedes will be mighty in Canada, good traction out the chicane and hairpin followed by double DRS wing for the long straight! Thats if it stays dry of course.

 

Yeah... totally. I mean, how stupid would it be for them to want their car to finish?

 

Wow, that was dull.

 

Hard to pick out who drove the best out of all of them. All 6 finished so close together it's a hard one to call.

 

Webber took the win, but Vettel and Alonso were particularly good.

 

A 4.3 second stop isn't that bad. They lost track position because Alonso did two purple sectors on his in-lap, not because of the pitstops.

 

My driver of the day was J.E Vergne, who was doing a stirling job on his strategy until his idiot team screwed him over.

 

Amazing considering how old those tyres were.

 

Yeah, Ferrari's was quicker but Alonso was miles ahead anyway so would have made no difference. McLaren again lacking pace on race day.
