he crashed into a barrier and was unable to take a tight corner. it almost looked like what schumacher did last year.

McLaren 1 & 2 - fantastic!
That's the order they'll finish the race in. Massa will follow.

Hatari, the f1 buff that you are, what do you think about that?

manson.

the Bridgestones this year are much harder in 2007 than previous years..
i'm guessing even the softer option is hard enough to last half distance
so they can change to the hard tires after they pit

cant think any other reason for the drop in pace for the BMWs in Q3

think the teams will be very aggressive in their pit strategy this yr..
we should see comparitively shorter 1st stints

A dominant 1-2 from McLaren that saw them lap even the 4th placed car!

merve_extreme · 27th May 2007, 19:30

superb driving from Alonso and Hamilton,and the pace of the mclaren was spectacular,but this has to be the most boring Monaco GP i have ever watched,not a single try of something called an overtake except on the 1st lap.And to add to the misery not a even a spectacular crash anywhere.

Mclaren has always done well here but the next GP might be a different story.

Yup ... as I mentioned at the start of this thread, predictable result. Getting quite bored with this Monaco race, sponsor friendly is all very nice ... but lets see some action people.

What a prediction!
Fantastic drive by Alonso and Hamilton. Just what was required to get Alonso's season back on track.

kpzen · 27th May 2007, 21:27

Boring as Malaysia..!!
No action.!
No overtaking..!
I hope Schumi makes a come back !

kartikkumar · 27th May 2007, 21:52

Brilliant race, Mclaren 1-2! Couldn't have asked for more! Oh..wait, I could have. Next time I hope Massa gets lapped as well on the way to another Mclaren 1-2!

McLaren forever!!!!

Great drive by the Mclarens but overall a boring race. Atleast last year there was some overtaking by Schumi from last to 5th. I thought there would be some action when Hamilton got close to Fonso but nothing. Season at a very interesting point now but Kimi's season is going from bad to worse.

Hope the next race is interesting

normally_crazy · 27th May 2007, 22:51

Hahaha - this was a private race between the 2 Mclarens. Awesome show.

And Kimi - he just confirms his "Panauti" tag with every race.

Uncle Ron must have warned them before the race.No racing each other.and yes Kimi is starting to disappoint big time now,i thought we can see some good overtake moves from Kimi,but that was as far as i could have been from reality,he just doesn't try.

F50 · 27th May 2007, 23:15

Boring Race!! I thought Hamilton will do something since he claims to "know" this track.
Good pace but got nothing more than 10 points.
Kimi, I hope he finds some luck in Canada. (the way Michael did)
