I`m watching the live timing of practice 3, and wow, that McLaren seems to like Monaco.

Scratch that, Hamilton overcooked sector two in qual now, and crashed.:rotfl:

How is JB doing it. Last lap of qualifying and he pulls one out the bag. He did he same in Spain. I hope he gets a good start as i think he can pull away from the Ferrari of KR. Glad to see KR back at the sharp end.

Will be hard for JB to stay ahead for Kimi into the first corner.
You would expect Kimi to pass Jenson at the start as he is in a KERS car.
But stranger things have happened so far this season.

XabbaRus 05-23-09 01:55 PM

KERS doesn't work till 100 kmh so as long as Jenson gets the jump in the first 2 seconds he should be able to stop Kimi from deploying it. I don't see why they are running KERS at Monaco as the consensus is that it is more likely to cuase problems then make opportunities.

JB is now a clear threat to anyone seriously thinking about the title.....early days I agree, but the threat is now clear and present.

GO YOU BRITS :rock:

Yep, I dont think that run is long enough to properly use the advantage of KERS, its going to be the good ol reaction settling things. The only KERS spot on the track is the tunnel.

Webber starting from 8th is not likely to threaten the podium unless there are a few outs ahead of him. Should be a good race though I can't see JB being headed unless he has a brain fart.

XabbaRus 05-24-09 12:56 PM

Good ol'JB.

Jimbuna 05-24-09 01:24 PM

Some going 5 out of 6 :rock:

Well done to Brawn and Jenson.
They done well making the most of the Super soft tyres at the start.
Just look what happened to Vettel. His lap times fell away as he pushed his tyres to hard. Then was pushing to hard to make for lost time when he stacked it into the tyre wall.
Ferrari looked to be getting back to in to the flow of things and Kimi picked up a good 3rd. Though im sure he will be pissed at his very poor start.

Things are looking very interesting going to Turkey.

TarJak 05-24-09 03:52 PM

Webber gets fifth moving up to 4th on the ladder. Definately his best season so far. shame about Vettel's crash though.

XabbaRus 05-24-09 05:36 PM

Yea good to see Webber doing well. Always liked him.

Glad Jenson is getting his chance. If you go over to the bbc news online 606 sports forums you get all the idiots trying to do him down by say it is all the car and Jenson doesn't deserve it blah blah blah.

I've always rated him as a driver just now he has his break and he is making teh most of it. Sure 80% of the deal is the car. Look at MS he had the best car for a most of his championship wins as did Hakkinen, as did Alonso. The trick is to use your ability to make the most of it and win. Jenson is doing that.

What some people seem to forget is if the car is a dog no matter how good you drive it you won't get far. Look at how LH is doing with the McLaren. Granted he is wringing it by the neck but he finishes outside the points. However I don't think Mclarens car this year is as much of a dog as teh Honda. However the previous two seasons if we got a wet race which evens things out, Jenson drove very well.

Must be the only time anyone's completed a victory lap on foot :DL
