Monaco is the perfect place for Kimi Raikkonen to stir things up.
With the track being so narrow and overtaking virtually impossible, it's vital that drivers push the car to the limits in qualifying.

i'll put my money on alonso..
i think the ferraris will not suit monaco due to their longer wheelbase..
thats not the only reason though

looks like jarno's going pretty well.. P4 in FP2

Rtech · 24th May 2007, 21:43

Alonso ends the day leading both practice session. The only driver to make it to the 1.15's. Man is he out to prove a point! Kimi has picked up the pace and is biting at his heals though. Should be an awesome qualifying, just hope it's not ruined by traffic.

As usual, I'll be cheering for any of the McLaren boys (NOT mclaren's boys) and hope they finish 1-2.

Hatari · 24th May 2007, 23:26

it will be interesting to see how lewis reacts after his accident..
ralfie boy too.. he's making this into a habit..
crashing into the barriers around the swimming pool

whatcanthisbe · 25th May 2007, 08:49

i think who ever gets pole or #2 in qualifying gets the chequered flag ... as long as it is not alanso i am happy but i will be personally rooting for ferrari as a team and lewis H as a driver ....

hillram · 25th May 2007, 10:38

Moanco is a race where the Pole taker rules.Ovetaking is impossible,may be possible only at Nouvelle chicane or Swimming Pool curve or r Casion Square.
I sincerely feel Hamilton will win the race and Ill back up Mclarens for whom i have cheered from 1997

headers · 25th May 2007, 11:44

I wish for Kimi..the guy needs a victory in Ferrari..Hamilton is very impressive with his consistancy though..

Expecting a great race..
