True, but McLaren seem to be on the up a few weeks ago. I think Monaco is such an atypical circuit you can't make any assumptions about how a team's performance indicates an overall improvement.

Quite an exciting race at the start, what with the Vettel traffic jam and Massa vs Rosberg. But pretty boring thereafter.

Bourdais and Fisichella have gone pretty heavy. I think they'll have a good chance of ending up in the points by the end.
Almost right.

The only interesting thing about the race was watching the cars race through the places you have memories of.

Well done to Button... another imaculate performance.

I was gutted Hamilton stuff qualifying. He would have been interesting to watch if he managed to put his car any where near the front of the grid.

The nice thing about this race was actually doing something out of the ordinary for it. Jo and went down to Mercedes Benz World and watched it there for free. Of coiurse they are attracting potential custom through their doors but generally it was a bit of a giggle.

Especially when I went Sshhh to a bunch of annoying kids whose dad then removed them from the auditorium (oh happy day).

We then went for a wander round and saw the drifters doing their thing as a bit of an expo etc etc and then Jo saw a 2nd gen SLK in black and thought it had potential and now is awaiting a 55 AMG test drive.

Awesome performance again by Button. Absolutely text book driver. Pleased for Kimi, though he looked knackered at the end of that. Thought he was knackered on those tyres for 25 laps.

What a tw*t jordan is. " The bollocking I gave Kimi last week has made him step us his game" - Get over yourself Jordan, his circle of influcence doesn't even extend outside the commentary box.

I'm sure Jordan said the bollocking we gave him and it was very tongue in cheek from where I was watching.

Marmite, either love him or hate him, I'm not decided yet.

Nah he definitely thinks everyone hangs off his every word. I bet he cuts a really lonely figure in the f1 paddock.

Talking of commentators Coulthard is adding very little value too. Would prefer Brundle to talk at the start of the GP then join the commentary box.

I know, what a bell end

At first I thought he's different, interesting and out spoken, but now he's just starting to get on my tits, listening to him I'm struggling to understand how he managed to run a F1 team, not surprised to hear it didn
