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.

so he could chose the right tires for the first stint. and the right strategy. The other driver according to regulation have to start with the tyres chosen in the q3 lapsunny1304 wrote:whats the point for vettel to sit out at Q3 if he did the race with 1 stop ???
All front runners had a single stop race, nothing special about it.sunny1304 wrote:whats the point for vettel to sit out at Q3 if he did the race with 1 stop ???
By their very nature, F1 cars are never going to appear to be saving tires. Even in tire-saving, fuel-saving, extra-cautious mode, they'll embarrass any other race car.JohnsonsEvilTwin wrote:I didnt see much tyre saving going on through there!
I'll ask again. When was the last year in which the cars pushed 100% for every single lap of the Monaco GP?fiohaa wrote:monaco is sh*t for racing but its all worth it...for the qualifying session.
in the past it was worth it anyway coz at least you knew the drivers were driving to their limits for 78 laps, even if it was line astern.
we don't even have that anymore....so its worth it just for qualifying, because driver has more influence here than on any other track.
stats don;t lie. Three team induced failures of 6 races and some bad strategy calls...bhallg2k wrote:Favoritism against Schumacher? OK.
Hamilton apparently claimed to have been hit in the head with something. Anyone know anything about this?
They say Nuvolari and Varzi had a legendary duel for a hundred laps in '33.myurr wrote:I'll ask again. When was the last year in which the cars pushed 100% for every single lap of the Monaco GP?
I guess that's fair enough. I just think they're not a very good team right now.Raptor22 wrote:bhallg2k wrote:Favoritism against Schumacher? OK.

Still, I like this race for some reason.
Whats wrong with a bit of bad luck? It happens to all drivers at some point. If blaming the team helps then tell yourself that.Raptor22 wrote:stats don;t lie. Three team induced failures of 6 races and some bad strategy calls...
