Look at James Keys statement and replace interesting with worrying.
Another favorite of mine is replacing exciting with nervous or vice versa.

Monaco looks like it might be scary. If qually mixes up the pack even a little (and even if it doesn't) I foresee some seriously ballsy moves. There are so many drivers fighting with such great cars, I could see any of the front runners getting inpatient and forcing an overtake. I predict spills and thrills.

As far as the win, I think the circuit lends itself to pure skill over pure power. I'd say the better on-the-edge drivers, Alonso, Schumi, Hamilton, and maybe Vettel will have the upper hand over the calm-and-collected drivers like Button, Webber, Rosberg, and the like.

We'll see...

Yeah hit the wall in quali last year :hehe::wink:
Indeed he did. He drives the car on the limit of control extracting all its potential. Last year his car was awful so he was trying to get even more from it. He crashed. Look at his previous records around Monaco. He's fast.

Monaco is a stupid place to go racing but they seem to go back every year.

Oh there will be yellows......

Even if it doesnt rain it will be a crazy race with all the slow cars. i really wonder how many of the new teams will cause yellows and how many 'lapping' incidents will take place. Not to mention the unreliable Saubers and the hothead Toro Rossos... It will be "interesting" to put it in PR terms.

As for Q, cant help but think it will be a lottery. With the Red Bulls maybe having the best car, but not really doing well in lotteries, i hope Ferrari can put it all together and capitalise.......

Yes its one where they can make a difference, but they have to make the difference in quali.

I seemed to remember Schuey trying to do what looked like a 3 point turn in qualifying one year and blocking the track.

Wasn't it at Monaco? Qualy is that important here....
If its raining during Q3 then I can see Lewis on pole.

What are the stats on winning from pole at Monaco?

Anyone on here been to this race?
