I did enjoy one part of the Commentary from The Cock.

"If I'd had a crash at 180mph I'd want to go and lie in a dark room and not talk to anybody". If only...

Well, bookies think that Hamilton will win, followed by the 2 Ferraris.
Would that be the English bookies?

Ferrari seem to have done better than anyone (including Massa) expected in qualifying.
If they're not confident in the race they could hold the pace and not let anyone overtake them.

Could be entertaining if it rains.

Ron posted that before quali, and Ferrari are very poor at Monaco as a rule.

Ferrari did well, much better than usual, but its Monaco and that was only quali lets see what the race brings.

Hmmmmmmmm......if it's dry race, quali at Monoco is everything.

It looks like tomorrow may not be a dry race.

The last time they had a wet race, 6 car finished IIRC.

James Allen seems to compare Hamilton with Senna every week now ffs

The sycophancy and hero worship is less hysterical than a year ago, but no less nauseating and misplaced

Ferrari will with this year's title in a canter

About the only fireworks I can envisage will be if Kimi fails to put his team mate in his place sooner rather than later

Allen's a c0ck though isn't he!

Gutted for Sutil

Good drive from Hamilton, somewhat lucky but then pretty much everyone had some luck one way or another. Deserved victory after last year, and now top of the drivers championship

Personally I couldn't care less about the constructors championship, never have it's all about drivers for me.

Great race (only because it rained), and a great result for Lewis. Yes he had some luck but all to top drivers seemed to make a mistake during the race, with the exception of Kubica.

You've got to feel sorry for Sutil Well done Kimi you numpty.
