Alonso/Ferrari had their 1st win in the bag, not too be due to a nice pile-up. Alonso would have won if not for the late red flag w/~12 to go. He was clearly going to pass Vettel (probably Button too) as he had good rubber (and Vettel had burned his set).
Monaco is the ultimate drivers course...which is why I can't figure how Button got on the podium.
How people love to bash Button. I don't understand why.
wow....someone is a foaming at the mouth ferrari fan...Quote:

Ham did put a sweet move on Schumi earlier in the race. By the time Ham got by the dirty German his race was over. Vettel et al were at least 10-15 seconds up the road. You the German enjoyed keeping Ham behind.

And Hammy's race was over when he failed to qualify on pole.
Seriously? He didn't pull out the race card in any serious way. he was clearly enormously frustrated right after the race, when he gave the interview, and he made it clear that it was an Ali G reference there and then. I suppose some people might have found it in bad taste, but its not the end of the world for formula 1 driver to have a sense of humor :nonono2:Quote:

Poor judgment in a sport that relies on good judgment.
As I stated earlier, Vettel's success is getting to his head and it is starting to show, not only on track but off. Hence he is constantly having to apologize for his behavior.
hey, nitwits, what would you rather have -- a driver who speaks his mind, or a party-line tauting figurehead who only says the soundbites his sponsors want you to hear? i'll tell you which one is the muppet if you can't figure it out.
You are just saying that because he's black:biggrin:Quote:

Well if the hamster actually had anything constructive to say, I'd choose "speaks his mind" but since he is only capable of little bitch rants, he should keep his mouth shut and only open it to say the words; Vodaphone Mclaren and Mercedes.Quote:

so they cant really ban tire changes during red flags, unless they say they cant change if its a dry race or something.
You are missing the point I was trying to make. I understand being allowed to switch to the monsoon tires during a red flag but the ability to allow the crews to work on the cars during the red flag was a very strange call and why allow the teams to put new tires on during a bone dry race with a handful of laps remaining?Quote:
