As for the race, it certainly appears that Lil' Kimi is the guy to beat right now.
WHAT? Kimi wins one freegin race and now you think the world revolves around him, give me a break.

Given that there are never any passes...

Ya know, these type of over simplified exagerations are just so not true!

Was there any pass for position after the first corner at last year's Monaco that didn't involve a crash, equipment failure, or the pits?

Well, first quali done and "Lil'Kimi" (borrowing that from drewchie ) was 0.481s faster than Alonso and 1.214s faster than his team mate Montoya...

"Lil'Kimi" is looking ok for the race

Based on the past two races, I can't see how Kimi could loose unless he crashes or his car blows up.
*ahem*



Certainly were a few on-track passes this race!

How do you feel about him now?

His post race interviews do leave me a bit... but ya can't argue with his skills.

Everytime I hear Kimi speak it reminds me of "Goldmember" from Austin Powers.

btw... the Bridgstones seem to be getting better wear wise. MS said the car got better and better as the day went on. (He also managed the fastest lap)

Now if they were better for qualifying.
