Tradition über alles!
(Not to mention the pallets of money this race brings to anyone and everyone involved.)

I'm glad to see that Danny had some speed first practice. Can't help thinking his time at McLaren is going to be through soon if he doesn't sort things out, but projecting ahead it would be cool to see him in Indycar or even NASCAR. Wonder how Ferrari is feeling about Li'l Schumacher?

Remember when teams would have special suspension and steering just for Monaco and just for the Lowes (edit, Loews, sorry.) hairpin? I wonder what they do now?
