Cool Monaco GP

I must say this is the only F1 race that I can watch the whole 77 laps, especially with schuy not in his 'reserved' poll position

Great dangerous track

Does anyone just watch it for the crashes?

seems bizarre - MS decides to warm his brakes up (so violently that he locks a wheel) and JPM goes straight into him, pushing him into the wall. MS is cream crackered, JPM carries on relatively unscathed.

no love lost there, then.

Button is driving a storming race.

Outstanding drives by Trulli and Jenson, great race to watch.

No I don't watch it for the crashes, don't get any enjoyment from that.

I gave up watching the Monaco GP years ago. When was the last time the person who qualified on pole didn't win the race?

Was the race really that interesting just because Schumacher didn't win?

Winning Monaco from pole has been very rare in recent years. Trulli did it this year, but you have to go back to about '98/'99 for the last time it happened.

It's a real myth that pole winner at Monaco always wins. Trulli has actually bucked the trend. I think they were quoting some stats in qualifying that said you actually get more winners from pole at the British GP than you do in Monaco - it's only about 35% of pole sitters who have actually gone on to win.

Great race though.

pole sitter has won 5 of the last 10 Monaco GP's now. So 50/50 chance based on current stats.
