Japan and Monaco are hugely different.
Yeah, in Japan Kimi would have had farther to walk before he got to his yacht.

See? You still remember that six years later. Are you going to remember "2006: MS getting fourth in Monaco!"? I think not. (But the "accident" in qualifying will be pretty darn memorable....)

Well, we'll see in 6 years...

BTW, I also remember the 2004 French GP, where MS won using an unheard of 4 pits stops....

The fact that MS fans can find comfort in P5 speaks to how desperate they are at this point.
Good grief you are so clueless...

Taking 5th when one starts at the back of the pack is a very respectful result! Then add into this equasion the fact that he carved his way through the field at Monaco, at track known for few passing opportunities. It was a great drive, a great drive! I'm clearly not desperate, I admire driving skill.

Of course he did. Pretty easy to pass a car that is in the garage.
LOL

so, if you win a race and not all the participants are still running at the end, is it not a win?

hell, do you still consider it a "race"?

man, you're obtuse....
