Is this same Grosjean who was throughly beaten by Raikkonen during their two year stint at Lotus? I think in 2012 the race results were 17-2 in favor of Kimi. He was faster than Kimi in quali but I am sure people want or need another Trulli in their team.

Last time I looked that Same Grosjean was a few tenths faster than Raikkonen in the same car.

I thought that was Kimi in Suzuka :) Anyway, two Renault engined cars from the same team severely hampering the main challenger of Renault's works team :lol:

Yes, Kimi spinning in Spoon in Suzuka and screwing up Alonso's Q3 also took a toll.
I am not amazed by F1 cars in Monaco. I want to see them driving in the A8 highway: Variable radius corners, negative banking, and extreme narrowings that Tilke has never dreamed off. Oh, yes, and "beautiful" weather tops it all.

Being Belgian I don't trust those predictions. This is an official rain radar for Belgium. My guess a.t.m. is rain is possible towards the end of the race. And rain might be heavy rain.

It wont rain, almost every site predicts rain to hit an hour or two after the race.

so if it rains, maybe very late into the race

Looks that way.
Some of the Teams think even if it does rain it will be well after the last stops.
