Monaco GP 2006


A good race for the first hour, then everyone seemed to start dropping out! Very nice to see Mark Webber go longer than Alonso and Kimi in the first stint, many people thought he hadn't got much fuel on board but he obviously had! Hopefully means that Williams are on their way back - didn't I say that this time last year?!

I think it has to be said that despite blatently cheating yesterday, Schumacher had a good race, with plenty of overtaking until he found Button, who had a poor weekend. Why haven't that team been able to go well since David Richards left?

I have two points of contention, the first being DC's front wing, how much did it flex when hit by Fisico?! It looked like it was made of rubber! A couple of seasons ago it would have shattered, in a way I'm glad it didn't as it was good to have him back on the podium but these flexi-wings have gone too far if they can bend like that.

Point two is the fact that when Mark Webber's Williams Cosworth was parked up at the side of the road, all the cars that exited the Pit Lane crossed the Pit Exit line illegally, but with no punishment. Some of you may say that they couldn't help it as the Williams was in the way, I would say that if that was the case the Pit Exit was clearly blocked and so for safety reasons the Pit Lane should have been closed until the car had been removed by Marshalls - who were quite clearly put in danger by the other cars coming out off the Pits.
