I am looking forward to the Monaco GP this weekend, in fact the last few years I have enjoyed watching the race at the principality.

Hopefully Monaco will be a turning point for Webber

I was watching the film of the 1957 race last night. That was before they'd even thought of putting up barriers - quite amazing watching these cars racing inches away from the pavement kerbs with nothing between them and the buildings.

Fangio won, with "The Racing Dentist" Tony Brooks coming second.

Carnage!

A few NCBs gone there- maybe something on the track? Or all the fault if the second place car?

2nd place Johnny Cecotto was judged to have caused it all and given a one race ban.

Hamilton is on a mission to become the coolest person in the world and he is basing this on (C)Rap music. Have you noticed his new haircut this weekend?

Mercedes let him because they need the best out of him and because there are a large number of people that would probably buy a Merc because of Hamilton, somewhat increasingly so in the States.

So Merc finds new buyers whilst probably not losing the established ones because 'I have always had a Mercedes'.

Well, that's my take on it anyway!

Has anyone actually competitively overtaken another driver at Monaco?
