Monaco GP
« on: 27 May 2011, 22:20:36 »

Button 14/1 :o :o :P
Massa 40/1  :o :o :P

OK you need a good car so that discounts everyone bar McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull.

You need a driver that can balls it out lap after lap under pressure...so that discounts Vettel.

Webber's not good enough, the car is but I can't see him winning.

Massa? Nah

So who's left...Button......Hamilton.....Alonso.....there's your top three pick one from them - my moneys on Alonso at a miserly 9/2  :-X :y

Of course, each and anyone of them could stuff it in the armco at turn 1 and a Lotus could win it  ;D ;D

If Button is kind to his tyres he could be the man to beat

Monaco is a strange race as its shite for overtaking action but normally quite exciting all the same

sorry as much as i would like jenson to win he hasnt got it.good driver yes,smooth yes,but he hasnt got that last 3% that hamilton has and schumacker used to have.
but at monaco they wont be able to open there wings for long and i dont think they will get to use the kers much and there are few places to overtake.so a good grid place is needed and vettal seams to be the man to do that.

Location is fantastic fair enough, but if ever there was a circuit totally unsuitable for modern F1 racing it has to be this one. Something of a joke IMO.

I am not a fan of Vettel but you can't level that accusation at him. He held off Hamilton at the last race. All you need to do is quali well and then make your car [size=14]big[/size]. Vettel seems good at both.

Much overated race that is time expired in terms of overtaking etc. I am hoping that Hamilton or Alonso do well. We need some damp races to allow talent further down the field to shine.

Massa Webber Button all competent enough number two drivers.

Vettels a great driver, I just think he can get pressured into making small mistakes - fine everywhere else, not here tho - Alonso and Hamilton are the two best drivers in F1 currently  :o

Bit of an anti climax to Q3 of Qualifying with the red flag, I'm glad Perez is conscious and talking though. :y :)

Was hoping one of the McLarens would take the top spot off Vettel, but him and his Red Bull always seem to find an extra something on a Saturday.  I hope Button has the faster race pace tomorrow and can get past Vettel.

Hamilton was unlucky with Massa blocking and the session interruption, should be interesting to see how he does tomorrow.  Schumacher did pretty well, out qualified Rosberg and split the Ferrari's.

Doubt Perez will race tomorrow, will probably take pre-caution against his further head injury, also reports of a leg injury perhaps.  Button was the last driver to hit that barrier in qualifying in 2003, he didn't make it for the race.
