Lewis.......is all I have to say on the matter, well apart from.......................................................................................................GO NICO 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) and I would love Jenson to be on the podium, for John as much as anything else. If he is, tears will be shed all round

Lewis is a sulky boy and I am beginning not to like him, especially when he barely acknowledges that the troubles of his team-mate handed him the win.

My boys did brilliantly. Felipe made one hell of a save when others might have T-boned Kimi, and Valtteri's drive from 14th to 2nd saved the weekend for Williams.

Shame for Jenson. One more lap and he might have got that elusive podium.

Good race all-round esp the part with Seb and Nando going head-to-head.

I know Seb and Teflon, Please Miss, he's gone over the line, please Miss he has his DRS open. :lol: :lol:

Lewis has always been a sulky baby.

Felipe was brilliant, but when you've had as many crashes as him, I suppose you learn. Was Kimi alright? He has a history of back problems. I was amazed the race was held up for an hour

Kimi has bruises on his leg and ankle, but otherwise is OK.

I love the way Felipe is dealing with it in his rather self-depreciating way, but had he T-boned Kimi we could be looking at another dead driver. That we are not is down to the way Felipe handled things..... he'll deffo be on Kimi's Christmas card list.

The hold up didn't go down too well with Lauda who argued that another driver hitting exactly the same part of the barrier was nil. I tend to agree. They didn't cancel the race the other year when tyres were disintegrating all over the place and that was potentially a lot more dangerous.

So that was why it was held up, to mend the barrier? The barriers in Monaco are likely to kill someone one day, thats the irony in my opinion.

If Felipe hadn't thrown his car into a spin, we could also be looking at an Alex Zanardi situation with Kimi. Felipe has learnt his self depreciating ways from spending so much time with Rob Smedley :lol: :lol:

Massa did brilliantly - what reactions!
Alonso disappointed me. He was slowing right down in the middle of one corner every lap, forcing Vettel to slow down and making sure he couldn't get a good launch onto the next straight. OK, that's allowable, but when Vettel finally did get past it was a very brave move - no need to go on the radio moaning and groaning about it!
Ricciardo's crew seem to have a better race strategy than Vettel's lot. In the last two races Vettel has outqualified Ricciardo and not been overtaken by him on the track, but finished behind him.
I'm afraid Lewis is a bit of a big kid, brilliant driver though he may be.
Big WD to Bottas as well; it's nice to see Williams on the up after the last few years.
