I'm just wondering about this year's Grand Prix from a personal perspective. I'm really look forward to seeing it, partly because I think McLaren have a great chance of winning it. I will, however, be flying home for the summer from Glasgow to Belfast and my plane doesn't land until 12:15! I think I should be able to make it home on time, provided there are no delays, but I will tell my uncle, who's giving me a lift home, to step on it.

Do you study in Glasgow?

Yes, I do, at Glasgow University.

Snap.

Ayrton Senna is simply, Mr. Monaco. He would have won the 1984 race had it not been stopped

Pat Symmonds (who was at Toleman at the time) recently revealed that Senna had damaged his suspension at some time in the race and might not have finished if the race had continued. The other forgotten detail is that Bellof was catching both Senna and Prost as the race was stopped, so if it had gone the full distance it's easily possible it would have been Bellof who won...

But it's monaco and Monaco is a crap shoot for all the drivers at the best of times let alone when wet. There's no saying what would have happened, but if 82 was any indication, most guys would have slid out of the race, including Prost, and if he can do it so can Belloff, and I will categorically state that Senna would not have! Ask me how I know? I just know. It's as sure as the nose on your face. The broken suspension did not appear to be something Senna couldn't hande either. So just get off this nonsense aboue Senna not winning it, that's just lunacy. Go take your meds.

Ahhh, Monaco!

Innes and the tunnel wall...Jackie Stewart taking the camera for a spin around Monaco in a race
ready Ford Capri with Casino Royale playing behind his shouted narration above the growl of the
Ford as it flew through the rain slicked streets. Graham Hill leading and suddenly taking the escape
chute.... My heart was in my throat! I was jumping up, I was falling back into my chair. How could
that happen?? Clark in the Lotus climbing to Casino...
what a time it was to be alive!

Ahh... the days gone by...
they're all good....

seems just like yesterday, but oh so long ago. Was it last week when Depaillier came out of
the tunnel into the bright sunlight and blistered down to Tabac? What a race it was. Did that
really happen, now more than thirty years ago??

Maybe the best memory of Monaco was the P.S. segment of Road & Track magazine.
The photo shows the street cars being escorted off the road, and in the back is Sterling
Moss ready to take the track. The caption read; "At the back of the pack there's always
some guy who thinks he's Stirling Moss." Classic.

I agree. Also, Belof was a good distance behind Senna, so would have been out of the spray of other cars, so would have been able to push harder. Senna, on the other hand, was right behind Prost, so would have had his vision obscured. That Senna caught Prost on broken suspension only proves further just how brilliant Senna was that day.

And Panis winning
Cant remember which years they all were, i get then all mixed up.

Murray can see into the future?! (This was from Monaco 1990)

"Victory, at the 1999 Monaco Grand Prix for Ayrton Senna!"

And earlier in that race...

"And it would seem that the beak of the Ayrton Senna chicken is pushing its way through the shell now."
