Thoroughly enjoyed that. Barcelona is usually a snooze so nice to have a great race there.

 

[Bandyrastard]

Go on Pastor!

 

[The Bear]

Good race in Spain for a change!

Terrific drive by Maldonado. Thoroughly deserved win. Whoever made the call at Williams to pit him when Alonso was coming up behind Pic deserves a big pat on the back as well. That won him the race.

Oh and Pastor is definitely punching above his weight with the women. His fiance is fit as fuck!

Williams garage caught on fire. KERS explosion. Looks nasty.

Schumachers fault

Crazy stuff. There's a couple of videos of it courtesy of the BBC and Sky on this news item here.

Alonso looking very quick in first practice this morning

 

[Nando]

Very quick indeed. He's somewhat of a Monaco specialist.

 

[jcwolf]

Looking forward to this race this weekend! Monaco is by far the best for me!

 

[Nando]

I love watching practice and quali, but the race is always frustrating.

 

[Nando]

Quali looks like it could be very special.

I enjoyed the two FI Shows they did this week. I'm starting to really love the little History segments they do, and hearing Mansell talk about how he punched Gerhard Berger in the FIA drivers briefing was quite funny.

I'm still tipping Hamilton for pole and the win. Though it'd be nice to see a Lotus win this weekend.

Can't wait for this tomorrow. Best race of the year.

 

[Nando]

Sensational standards of driving this afternoon.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Terribly dull race

 

[The Bear]

Shame the rain came down heavy just after the race. That would have spiced things up nicely.

The worst race of the year for me so far though. Utterly boring apart from the threat of rain.

 

[The Bear]

Nasty crash in the GP3 race this weekend.

 

[TheResidentMackem]

Sensational standards of driving this afternoon.

Yep, takes a lot just to finish and the best racers win, shows which team are the best too. However it wasn't exciting, would have been nice to see a few more battles but you usually don't get them in Monte Carlo.

 

[Psychowolf]

First lap exciting followed by 69 laps of not alot happening, 3 laps of slightly rain effected racing adding a little excitement then 5 laps of follow the leader to the end. Really don't like Monaco if I'm honest. It's a great example of skill and concentration to put a F1 car around the circuit for an entire GP, but as a race it does nothing for me.
