Pole, Strip Off & Frustrations!

Some things of notice at the Monte Carlo F1 Grand Prix

  • The good thing is inspite of standing at the back end of the grid, Michael & Ferrari turned out to end inside the top five spots - A small & tough fight at the end with his ex-teammate and current Honda seater Barrichello. That was sure a show of tough sportsman & a entire team effort.
  • The bad things were when Webber (Williams) & Kimi (McLaren) walked out from the race with their cars choking & smoking, leaving their 3rd & 2nd positions respectively in the race. Just shows the reliability of the vehicles. If you try more than what they are capable off results aren't going to be good.
  • So, the best thing to happen because of the above 2 is Alonso & Renault (yet again) winning this race without pressure & competition.
  • Well. The worst thing is Michael's stripped off Pole Position. The punishment for hard braking and slowing down the circuit traffic and (coincidentally) that of Alonso's in the qualifier makes Michael a very poor sportsman.
  • And the satisfying thing is Red Bull at the podium - Thanks to Coulthard & all the above happenings.

Man ! Monaco is the best of the race circuits and most awaited one every year. But I hated it this time. After what happened to Mike I bet on Kimi. But after the mclaren mercedes engine gave up ... it was all over .. I could predict the finish and then it got boring. I didnt like the past 2 races. Hope, silverstone will be exciting !
