2012 Monaco GP - Monte Carlo

Favoritism against Schumacher? OK.

Hamilton apparently claimed to have been hit in the head with something. Anyone know anything about this?

I'm now more convinced that Monaco should be taken off the calender. Overtaking was impossible.

I have had this opinion for many years now. If it is so important for sponsors etc. then hold it as a non-championship race.
Just my OP.

as i've heard on the team radio, something fell of his pit board straight to his helmet... ?

Money talks, so the race stays.

Exactly...

It's not impossible to overtake; it's just very, very difficult. Even a Pirellotteri can't overcome the tight confines of the circuit.

Still, I like this race for some reason.

Ferrari had the best car today. Fantastic recovery by the team.

[Red Schneider]

Are you guys really that against Monaco? I think it's nice to touch hallowed ground once or twice a year.

Then again, I fundamentally watch F1 to see high-performance cars driven by the greatest drivers, so good racing action is just icing on the cake for me. The art of hustling the car through Monaco is the base appeal.

When will the FIA release findings on the RB8...as the car is parc ferme will they document, photograph, measure etc before the team attempts to "hide" the evidence of the illegal breach.

For four teams to blow their trumpet...something awful has gone off in the Formula 1 kitchen...

Felt this was the worst monaco gp I have ever watched, it was too much about saving tyres than racing, people couldnt push to overtake due to being scared of using up the tyres to 'make the strategy work' ,

* Bad weekend for Lotus, Grosjean freaked out after he lost the start, Kimi was invisible the whole week(end).
* Massa is starting too look like he begins to have an idea about what the hell he is driving this year. I think the first 3 races were a total blackout for him, no clue about the car, the only thing he knew for sure was that if you turn the wheel left the car goes left and if you turn it right it goes to the right.
* Maldonado did it again. He was last and somehow he managed to crash.

Monaco is a place where you have ~2mil. 700HP cars capable of doing 300+km/h cruising around the circuit unable to make a single clean overtaking. Enoguh said.

I could watch cars go past the swimming pool all day long. Those whip-like changes of direction are simply stunning.

[fiohaa]

well i was completely wrong about grosjean, after having seen the replay properly.

alonso basically shoved him to the left. and that trigged grosjean to go into schumi. so there you go. if anyones to blame its alonso.
racing incident.

Interestingly Anthony Davidson has just blamed Alonso for the accident with Schumacher. He's shown how he moved across into a space that wasn't there to try and get past Hamilton, causing contact with Grosjean which then pushed him out to where Schumacher was.
