Who's your pick for Monaco?

Here's mine. Apparently common sense and intelligent reasoning have deserted me!

1• Schumacher
2• Webber
3• Massa

1. Rosberg
2. Alonso
3. Webber

No room to pass so if nothing takes these 3 out of the race I predict this finish.

Alonso.
He is in great form in a ..ah..not so great car this year. Form counts at Monaco.

Don't want to give anything away to those that haven't seen qualifying, but hard to not win from pole at Monaco.

Correct. Unless the other pit crew wins. Getting tired of the air wrench races. It would be so easy to put a gate in front of each car just like motocross and have mandatory 10 second stops. If they have problems, it will still delay the stop. But sub 4 second stops are silly.

I like watching pit crews change tires. I can't wait for the race!

Obviously I haven't seen Qualifying, but did just check online and see that Perez is at the end of the grid with no time :-( But great to see that Shumi did so well. I'm hoping that he has found the pace at last.
Any one know where to see the qualifying online? I missed recording it somehow.
As far as it being a race in the pits, Zeke. It is a team sport, got to be firing on all cylinders. Its been surprising to see the big teams blowing it in the pits.

Cheers Richard

Is revealing qualifying positions now considered a spoiler? Go to Planetf1.com or Speedtv.com for more info. There's Webber, then the rest of the field including quickest man in Q3, Schumacher, starting in P6. Got everyone confused now?

Unless Webber falters at the start, in the pits or on track, he's the winner. Got that covered.

Im really looking forward to this one.
Generally speaking you would say whoever is on pole will win. This year has thrown all predictions out the window.
Im hoping Webber gets a good start (for once) and holds it, being a difficult track to pass on.
Rain could come into play too.....

What about Hamilton.... Starting P3, knows his racecraft and this is one track where you better have craft in your race..
Weber Second
Rosberg Third

Shumi is done, stick a fork in him

Hamilton maybe depending on fuel load. McLaren might screw up his race again, so maybe Webber. I don't know how Merc found all that speed, although they may be light too, which might favor Webber. Crazy season.

Webber - deserves the win!

Rosberg - should give Webber a great run!

Schumi - he is going to make up the most places in the race!
