Actually Deane, Monaco is one of Hamilton's favourite circuits. Have a look at this

I predict he will win his first F1 GP tomorrow.

Ferrari - yesterday's men!

Don't buy a lottery ticket this week.

Bob,

Ferrari have admitted, before this weekend, that their chassis is a tad long for Monaco. It gives great stability on the rest of the season's tracks.

Ah well.

I predict Alonso will win followed by Hamilton with Massa in third. Kimi will probably finish in 8th.

Over a minute back to Massa - quite a comprehensive victory for McLaren.

It's all a bit of a farce if Ron Dennis can decide who will win though. Makes a little bit of a mockery of any rule change suggestions. You have to place most of the blame at the foot of the Monaco circuit though. I love the place and the history but it's practically like racing on someones driveway. It's a bit of a joke it's still in the calendar if you ask me. But in this sport money talks louder than the engines...

I think this team orders thing has been blown out of proportion.

Yes Hamilton was quick, but Alonso was quicker... In the same car Hamilton would have had no chance of overtaking safely, at best he could have pushed Alonso so hard that he would crash, at worst, he would have plowed into Alonso and taken them both out. A clean overtaking would never have happened, so Hmilton would have been mad to try it. Alonso showed he was faster in qualifying and in the race, so this was no team order mockery.

Hamilton is still joint in terms of points (although not leading as he has no wins) so everyone is a winner.

Well said Simon.
Most right thinking people would have seen this. The FIA (Ferrari International Association) seem to need to be seen to be doing something. Unfortunately they consistently do the wrong things.

I dunno. For me, nothing matches the in-car footage from Monaco. Also, the history of motor racing there appeals to me when I watch the race.

Was that including or excluding today's track?
