It's the day before a Grand Prix and not a whisper on this here board. Is this season dead already? I'm looking forward to Saturday and Sunday as much as any race. I know there's not a lot of overtaking, but watching those cars flash around that tight, twist track, missing the barriers by millimetres is exhilarating enough. Passing would be too much! Have a read of this by Mark Webber, eloquently describing what it's like to race at Monaco. I really hope that there is a lot of on-board footage, especially from the nose of the car. Incredible how those guys manage to keep that up for the entire race. It's quite a pivotal race, too. If Kimi wins, it's going to make him even harder to beat and he won it easily in 2005. Lewis is superb round this track and I would not be surprised to see him in front of Kimi on the grid. I do think that Kimi's going to try and quali a bit heavier, indicated by his drop in speed during the second practice yesterday. BRING IT ON!!! |

Monaco is always cool. It's not much for a race, but the spectacle is something amazing. |

It should be wet tomorrow.. but might not be. Otherwise people don't get excited because it's too predictable. |

Ironic as it is now, Shumi's indiscretion during quali really made the race better. He pulled of some really good passes. I know may people say he was in a much faster cart, but as has been shown time and time again, just having a faster car isn't all that's needed..... |

2006, 2005 and 2004 were all good races at Monaco. But last year was terrible. |

The brother of a guy i work with is on a Ferrari dealers sponsored yacht at Monaco because his friend who bought a Ferrari made contacts that got places for both of them. Obviously when i asked who did i need to kill to have gone with them i was told the usual dear John........... So i will be there in spirit and watching on I...........advert.......................T......................advert......................................................................V |
