Grand prix de Monaco 2004

S350L-E240 · 22nd May 2004, 20:17

So ready?
All glamour...Glits .... Girls.... and those wicked Growling engine which sure gave us a great qualification session so whats ur predictions for the race?

Here's my No.1 :

T R U L L I

Or maybe a miracle again and

MS but then this could be the end of ferrari 100% Domination

Very exciting race comin up

Grab some beer... get ready... and be there

Hmmm...very interesting!!! Well, well, well.....finally Kimi has a fairly good position on the grid. I am not expecting any miracles here, as I dont think any of that will happen. But, what I expect now of Kimi and Mclaren is that he is able to finish at least in the top six. Hopefully luck will be on his side for a change!!

Jarno Trulli on pole is going to be very exciting. A track where overtaking is not very easy...this should be a very challenging race for all those in the top 8 positions....should definitely bring out some very interesting outcome.

Well, cant wait till tomorrow!

Excellent qualifying. A build up to a great race tom esp more exciting since we team bhpians are gonna watch it together tomorrow.

Trullio great qualifying run there and I was happy to see Button up there again. This might turn into a win for Trulli but Button can fight for it as well.

MS?? Well hes down in fourth the odds are really not in his favour but then who knows.. a good first lap and FErrari pit strategy can come into play

Kimi great for him since hes finally in familiar territory where he belongs. Rain is predicted for tomorrow and if it pours it should be awesome..

So till the 5 red lights...

Cheers

A STUNNING LAP ! WOW !!!!!!!
whats makes it even more brilliant is the fact that he's the 1st driver to get inside the 1m 14s mark and set a new lap record !
think this cements his rep. of being among the fastest 1-lap drivers in F1 !

the race.. is another thing..
the last time a driver won from pole was in 1998.. when Mika won
so i'm keeping my fingers crossed from now !

ported_head · 23rd May 2004, 02:21

absolutely stunning, what a qualifying, i caught the rerun sometime back. i loved it. My predictions? RENAULT 1-2. Alonso and Trulli lead the way in no particular order. MS, comes third. but a brilliant pit strategy could very well change all that. and we all know the masters of the pit. keeping my fingers crossed.

Guys i was out of town on Sat. PLZ tell me abt the events during Qualifying session. And also the grid Pos.
Did i miss something??

Aditya · 23rd May 2004, 12:22

Apart from Trulli's amazing performance, I'm very happy for Kimi and David. Great to see the McLarens doing well.
What really made my day was to hear Gianmaria Bruni fire up the Minardi in the pits. What a sound! It may be the worst Formula 1 car today, but it still rocks. Give me a drive in a Minardi and I'll gladly accept..... any day, any place, any time.

Shravan did you miss something?

Well... here's a quote,
If there's only one qualification session one should not miss, It's Monaco!

Dont worry they'll have all the highlights at race day

HORRAY FOR McLaren!

S350L-E240 · 23rd May 2004, 20:26

Sad day for me once again,
Hope all my McLaren lovers will join me once again in a minute of silence!

Just 42 laps over... and the race's over for me..
But from Ashes will rise a car... So strong... Which will be McLaren Mercedes MPxxx!

S350L-E240 · 23rd May 2004, 21:02

Whoa almost end of the race and what better drama...

Alonso's accident,
And then the MS accident,

Well i guess its finally time over for MS!

Kimi raikkonen Enters............................................ .......................................

S U P E R B !

shravan316 · 23rd May 2004, 21:49

Monaco Grand Prix-- SIMPLY AWESOME!!!!!!!
What drama, What Action, I'm glad i returned home in time to see te race

Finally no Schumi in the Podium..
Great drive by Trulli and Button. Superb Battle...

I'm not able to find words to describe such a race!!!!!!!
Monaco-Simply the best..

Dippy · 24th May 2004, 04:23

Great going for Renault and Trulli and he deserved to win . Button was impressive during the final laps..a few more laps and I guess we would have had a Honda victory.... Bad luck for MS going out of the race like that but of course he'll be back with a vengence at Nurburgring I'm sure and get back to his winning ways.
Mclaren Well the less said the better . DC wasnt to blame for the crash he had, he was just an innocent victim but Kimi?? Another engine problem. If this goes on I guess we wont see Mercedes in F1 too long and maybe Mclaren will go back to the Honda engines. Now thats what I'd love to see

Pferdestärke · 24th May 2004, 09:18

By the way, is there any way, we can protest against STEVE SLATER, the ESPNStar commentator!?
Cathedral Square, in Monaco?

Dippy · 24th May 2004, 14:05

Well now that youve said it PS

After the Ralf Alonso incident Steve said Alonso was waving out to Ralf whereas we all know what he was showing Ralf...
