feck it awful race from both ferrari drivers, espically kimi who cost himself and ending up with no points.
 
Brilliant race today, best Monaco I've seen in a long time.

Fantastic from Lewis too, and to go three points clear in the championship was very unexpected.

Great stuff.
 
Let's check the James Allen 'Hamiltonworship-ometer' today:

... 95% - Senna + Prost x Schumacher

About average then.
 
James Allen is like that though isn't he - knows more about commentating than the sport, plus in general the British media do like to hype it up and they aren't going to stop with Hamilton. He is a good driver though but its a bit much right now.

The race: It was quite eventful and saw strategies being changed left, right and centre - apart from Sutil - what a fecking shame for the lad.

Alonso was trying to hard and caused a hold up at one point. :lol:
Raikkonen had an off day - typical but Ferrari didn't have the race pace.
Kubica had a good consistent race and drove well - ultimately benefited from the poor Ferrari showing.
Massa is good but hasn't got what it takes to be a champion.
Hamilton kept his head and drove well after his moment with the barriers - deserved the win.

One other thing to note was the lapped cars not unlapping themselves in the safety car period and holding up the race - why did it take so long :wenger:
 
This Hamilton, is he a likeable fella?

The whole story with his brother being his sort of inspiration and stuff seemed nice.
 
It doesn't get any better than Monaco in the wet, what a race. Personally I thought Ferrari did have the race pace, but Massa and Raikonnen both made a pigs ear of their drive

Ruben, Hamilton seems a really nice guy, but regardless, he's a winner. Last season was bizarre with the Alonso spat, people were queueing up to condemn a lad who in his first full season of Formula one was challenging for the title, outscoring the previous world champion using the same equipment, as 'overated'! What is possibly overated about coming into a sport young and winning from the very start?
 
Mosley stays on as FIA president

Max Mosley has won a vote of confidence to stay on as president of motorsport's governing body, the FIA.

More than a third of delegates did not back Mosley at Tuesday's meeting in Paris but he won 103 of 169 votes.

Thought he would have gone but not so.

Various figures and bodies aren't happy about it either with a few threatening to pull out...

The American, Japanese, French, Australian and Spanish automobile federations all voted against Mosley as did the German motoring federation ADAC - Europe's largest automobile organisation - who said it has now frozen all its activities with FIA.

"We view with regret and incredulity the FIA general assembly's decision in Paris, confirming Max Mosley in office as FIA president," said a spokesman.

"ADAC will stay with its decision as long as Max Mosley holds the top FIA office of president."

Hamilton on pole by some 0.6 seconds and nearly 1 second ahead of the Ferrari.
 
Hamilton just did a brilliant lap in the end there.

He's way ahead of everyone else.
