Mark Webber won his second Monaco Grand Prix in three years after starting from pole and not making a single mistake all through the race. It wasn't however easy, the next 5 runners finished within the next 6 seconds. Nico Rosberg was closest as he finished second while Fernando Alonso completed the podium in third place.

McLaren pit-board slips falling off, onto Lewis

Explaining after the race exactly what kept falling on his head, the Brit said: "The guys hold the pit boards over the track and two or three slips fell out and hit me in the front of the helmet.
"I was like 'guys this is getting ridiculous' as they kept dropping them and dropping them."After the itchy nuts, kudos to his team for coming up with something new & imaginative. Nailing him on the noggin as he whizzes by the pit wall at over 200kph, their aim & timing must've been impeccable.
Bit harsh isn't it? Let's not start a fanboy debate but wouldn't everyone be annoyed if the pit board numbers hit them in the face?windwaves wrote:I only hope Mr. Hamilton gets the hint that Formula 1 will not miss him, in fact will celibrate the day he gets the hell out. Both fans and drivers will have the greatest party.

Looking at this pic, it does not seem like Alonso ran Grojean out of space like so many claim.WilliamsF1 wrote:

MS's cars has got whopped so many times, but he is always able to continue as if nothing happened.
Compare that to hamilton's car at monza 2011, the smallest of nudges and the car was out.
