5 - the BBC redeems it but the FOM coverage was awful.

Voted Piquet because he gave me the best part of the afternoon with his BBC interview.

I believe that it's the other way around- Monaco gave Ferrari an edge because of the way their car has been designed. They'll be back into a strong 3rd position as far as the teams are concerned at Turkey and may well build from there.

Red Bull's diffusor will offer more at Turkey, a track with far more high-speed corners than Monaco, and will probably bother Barrichello for the rest of the year.

I don't believe that anyone will challenge Jenson on a regular basis until the end of the summer break. The one time he's really had to push so far this year- Bahrain- he started 4th and ended up winning by a considerable margin. Considering how good his qualifying has been since then, I can't see anyone providing a challenge.

He just has to hope he qualifies nowhere near Fisi.

The point is, in terms of one-lap pace Red Bull and Ferrari at different stages of the season have really taken the fight to Brawn. But when it comes to race pace Brawn are way ahead of everyone else, and remain so.

I have an idea.

Next year's race, run it counter clockwise. Instant 15/10 race.

Welldone to Button who is definatly the strongest driver on the grid at the moment, very good race from him.

I feel sorry for Piquet Jr, he has so much pressure on him to get results, and when hes finally doing well, he gets taken out... He would of gotten points too, 7th or 8th. He was in the big train, and was on a 1 stopper. Very Unfortunate for him.

Tough race to rate. I will give it 4 as the safety car didn't appear and also the soft tyre drama was all too short.

Button. He was just flawless once again. A champions drive.

Big raps for Fisi, who drove very well, very unlucky not to get 8th there. Also feel sorry for Piquet, who would of scored if he didn't get taken out, as boudais and fisi were on the same stradegy as him, but 4 or 3 places behind him. It must be very hard for him at the moment. Ferrari boys seem to be back again, thats good. Barrichello did well again also. Rosberg did a fine job too.

Turkey will be interesting, as it's a track which provides alot of overtaking every year, and it will be interesting to see ferrari and red bull attack brawn for the win. I also expect Toyota to move to the front of the grid again, so it should be good. :thumbsup:

A Ferrari resurgence is perfect for Button, as they take points off of Red Bull while he can romp ahead, with Ferrari being too far behind already to pose a threat.

once again, FOM did NOT cover this event. This was the only race which is still produced by a local host broadcaster, and we saw how awful that is.

So yeah, the only person who deserves some kind of credit is the cameraman at Tabac. But that's it

1 Point


Premiere was pretty good. Slowly getting better from race to race.

5 Points

3 points overall

i gave it a 7, the tv director made some mistakes, which annoyed me, but the problem is legard, he is a fruit loop. Please change him with someone.

BBC has 4 audio feeds, so if you can't stand legard just switch to 5 live commentary, CBBC commentary or to the no commentary track ;)

3/10.

Maybe if we didn't have a great race last year, I would probably give a better rate. But apart from some crashes and an interesting start, 3/10 is enough for the whole.

Very Happy about the 8th place of Bourdais. But Button victory and large smile of Kimi makes me happy too. :thumbsup:

People take it too seriously. Monaco should be watched as a glamorous show and for it's atmosphere. Other races should be rated for the racing part. You can't expect wheel banging action from Monaco, although that was what we got a bit this year. Seems like people forget that Monaco has hardly ever been a real race between the drivers. Besides this was way better as a race than Borecelona two weeks earlier...
