It's on next Sunday. 27th May 2007.

I know!! I can't wait!!

Meanwhile, there are reports that it'll rain on the weekend, which might make for a very very interesting race on that circuit! 

when last have we had a rainy monaco? hmmm! i'll be at a funeral with the in laws.... will have to download the race later

I remember a rainy monaco a few years back.... lots of funny crashes

Wasn't rainy as much as drizzly

Speed TV (via an F1 fan friend of mine) said that during practice they were shifting 57 times per lap.  So, if you add the rain into that, could make for an interesting race.

As promised, here are some pics of Monaco....

You know, when Ferrari and Kimi did the deal, I don't believe either thought about how bad he'd look in the Ferrari red.....

Honestly 

LOL

Yeah, well I don't think that red really suits fair (haired and skinned) people.

Meanwhile here are some more pics from Monte Carlo......




That's all the pics for the moment.

Ok, so it's on Ch10 (Brisbane/Sydney) at 11.10 pm AEST Sunday .

If anyones interested, qualifying will be telecast from the same Channel at 12.00 midnight, on Sat night.   (Don't think I will bother, and will save my energy for the race). 

The Indy 500 is also on this weekend if anyone is interested!! (I imagine that Gracey would be)

The two great races on the same day.

Woo hoo! Good thing you reminded me abt quali andro

Some of the demolition derby from yesterday. 

It doesn't say if its because it was raining

QUali tomorrow, can't wait... wonder hwo's gonna overtake this year again heh?

LOL Andro, I am interested in it so much as this town is CRAWLING with people this week, the news is all about the track, I am having to deal with out of town media outlets that use my company for internet access while reporting on the race... And that by the time I get back to town on Monday evening.. They will all be GONE!

HEHE.. For me, this week is more stress than pleasure... It is the biggest event in our city.. and the start of "tourist" season 

I'd imagine so.....

The buzz must be electrifying! 

And the weather????.........

Saturday, qualifying day, will be a little warmer at 23 degrees, and there is now a slightly smaller chance (40 percent rather than 60) of showers. However, there is now an 80 percent chance of light rain on race day.

Of course there is/was no practice on Friday, as it is deemed to be a day of rest (from F1) for the citizens of Monte Carlo, to allow them to go about their business.

So the next practice will be Sat at 1100-1200 (local time), with Qualifying beginning at 1400 (local time).

Nice to see Fisi up there.... even tho it means that he'll just hold up everyone behind him once the race starts...

Great effort by the BMW team  - they're becoming real contenders

yeah poor Kimi!!

He just nudged the barrier, but it was enough to break his steering.

Poor old Dc was out of luck also after being penalised for blocking Kovalinen.

Yeah, well, he was being naughty....

Hey, there's something off with your list andro.... kimi appears twice

Yeah, you're right!!!!!!!

Blame Planet F1 for that...:-!

hahahhaha

No worries.... I thought that might be the case

Ok, so I'm sure we all know who won by now....

The race was a bit boring I thought - granted, I was distracted and not paying full attention....

I love seeing Alonso's and Hamilton's driving styles on this track tho! They way they throw their cars around.... it's just  mesmerising!

Alonso finally stopped looking like he has just been tolerating Hamilton's presence....
I get the feeling the feeling he doesn't like having a challenging teammate. Then again, he's probably not used to it

And I also have a new theory - in order to do well in F1, you need to go get a sponsor with a red logo/colour scheme....

That's the key!

You're right $deezee$, that was one of the most boring F1 races I have seen, It was just a procession, and I was having trouble staying awake.

Yeah..... where's the competition?!?!?!

I was surprised the Ferraris were so off the pace

I reckon Alonso will only be happy with Hamilton as long as Alonso's in the lead. Like now they are on equal points in the driver's championship right?

I was also surprised at the lack of pace of the Ferrari's, I don't know what has gone wrong there. (I think they need Ross Brawn back fast)

Yes aman, Alonzo gets quite jealous if someone threatens his No1 position.
I'll bet Hamilton gets little assistance from him!

Not that Hamilton needs any assistance!

And yeah, the Ferraris were amazingly slow

Whoooops.....

McLaren under investigation 

The dominant performance of the Mclaren-Mercedes team is suddenly under a cloud following an FIA announcement, this morning, that accusations of ‘team orders’ will be officially investigated.

The British press have rounded on Mclaren supremo Ron Dennis today following comments made yesterday that implied Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton had been told to hold station at some point in the race.

The FIA statement read:
"The FIA has launched an investigation into incidents involving the McLaren Mercedes team at the 2007 Monaco Grand Prix in light of a possible breach of the International Sporting Code. The relevant evidence is under review and a further announcement will be made in due course."

That's disgraceful, you would never catch Ferrari doing a thing liken that.

hahahahahahaha

Esp since the rule came into effect because of them!!

Nah, that's just va rumour.

Yeah.... cos no one saw Barichello slow down

Yeah, and no one noticed that Lewis gave up the chase on Sun either.

Oh c'mon..... it wasn't as obvious!!

The commentators mentioned it...

That's their job, to make something of nothing

I hope you are not casting nasturtions on Martin Brundle, James Allen, Murray Walker, and their ilk. 

nasturtium's

oops....

They're all crap!

Ok, I don't mean that..... they do have good insights, but otherwise I can't stand their commentary

Join the club.........:P

hahahahaha
We finally agree on something!

So now it's on to Montreal (on 10th June) for the next GP.

Let's hope it proves to be more exciting than Monte Carlo  was.

Gosh i hope so.....

It was rather boring, I was disappointed at Kimi, he's looking very much to be #2 driver at the moment. I love Massa at the moment, he's earnest and doing his best.

I still don't like Massa, and am very disappointed with Kimi....

Anyways, looks like McLaren is in the clear

Wonder how much Ron had to pay for thet verdict???

ohhhhhh
