They both got slapped with a warning. Lewis for trying to race in the pits and Vettel for moving over and pushing Lewis towards the garages, which IMO was the more stupid and blatant.

Alonso dived infront of Massa when they both pitted and they didn't do him for that.

I though think it made great racing and am glad the FIA isn't handing out punishments. Neither Vettel or Hamilton gained and advantage from it.

Red Bull keep shooting themselves in the foot. They do have the out and out fastest car for qualifying but in race pace unless they get off from the front they aren't so great. To be honest on the couple of occasions that Red Bull cars have been behind the pack they haven't impressed.

Vettel has only won from the front row, this season and last. I don't rate him at the moment as a great overtaker unlike Hamilton in every race. Webber I'm afraid is in his last season. He is getting blown away by Vettel.

Apparently since the pits beging later -white line where everyone brakes hard and puts the speed limiter- the rest is considered still part of the track, and unlike the exit, there's no rule preventing from crossing the white line. It was however in my opinion a move in very bad taste, and also potentially dangerous, as that part of the track is not designed for wheel to wheel action. A warning also would have been in order, IMHO.

Hamilton also did that and received no warning. I guess he should be warned twice then?

Webbo does the business and is in the championship hunt
 

Fantastic result for my man Webbo. :rock::rock::rock:

Absolutely poo pooed all over the field. Faultless driving all weekend and blew away his fancied young teamate Vettel. A shame he didn't get the hat-trick of pole, race win and fastest lap having Hamilton pinched the fastest lap honours late in the race. Webbo deserved it and I reckon RBR could have taken fastest lap in the race if they wanted to. Watching the F1 live timing on the laptop I lost count just how many fastest laps Mark racked up. I counted at least ten or eleven compared to Alonso, Hamilton, and Vettel who had about five or six between them. Webber also put in some blazing fast in and out laps during his single pit stop and for a change the pit stop itself was without a hitch. All round great result for RBR despite the problems suffered by Seb.

Lewis I thought also drove a great race to be robbed by a tyre/wheel failure. Alonso again showed up Massa while Rosberg must be feeling that Mercedes has now become team Schumi. I reckon Rossberg can now kiss his season goodbye thanks to fat Norbert and Ross Brawn. :down:

Roll on Monaco and my tip is that RBR will have the F duct implemented for Turkey along with a host of other developments. Credit to RBR that they can match Ferrari and McLaren in the development wars. There are no longer just two big teams in F1.

I'm going to have a virtual coldi for Mark now. He was just bloody awesome and as Seb said, Mark was in a league of his own. :()1:

Good race, well done Webber :up:

Best race yet for Schumacher....I should imagine Button will be disappointed.

I fell asleep while watching it.....:yawn:

Then you missed some great fast driving from Hamilton, Webber, and Alonso. Also some nice foxy defensive driving from Schumi against Button.

Also hats off to Webber for doing an interview just before the race. Not many drivers on pole position do that and I guess there was quite a bit of pressure on him given firstly that no one this year had won from pole until today and also that the person on pole has won here roughly 9 out of the last 10 times I think. Tough place to pass Catalunya. Also Webber chucked his helmet into the crowd after the race. Nice touch in a form of motorsport which doesn't allow the fans to get as close as they should be allowed. Webber is one of a few drivers who are very conscious giving back to the fans. :up:

Webber wins pole position at Monaco
 

Mark does it again with a stunning lap at Monaco to beat Kubica to pole position by 3 tenths of a second and blew away finger boy Seb by 4 tenths. Awesome. :yeah:

Great driving from Kubica also. I really thought that he was going to get pole.

Now for Sunday. Clean start into first right hander then up the hill and away. :yep:

Did anyone see the Schumi and Rosberg interviews. It's all getting nasty in the Merc garage and credit to Rosberg he isn't taking a backward step with the old man Schumi. Fireworks for the rest of the year between those two. ;)

Monaco being the tight twisty circuit it is, means that the race to the first corner will be crucial. If the RB cars stay relaible, then whoever gets there first will win it.

That's true Tarjak, I'm looking forward to the start though, seeing who has the nerves to brake late going into that first corner. After that it'll be pretty boring I think though.

Webber should win.

And he did it!

Congratulations Mark, this seems to be going to be your year! :woot: He's taking the best out of him, and what a class show. Leaving Vettel so far behind on the same car both in BCN and here is no easy feat.

Finally another australian will be champ? :up:

Congrats also to Kubica, what a load of talent that guy has. Only his start on the dirty side has deprived him of 2nd place.

A fantastic race for Alonso also, what a strategy!

In all, a pretty interetsing Monaco GP to watch. :sunny:

I wouldn't count out Button just yet.

He'll be devastated at not finishing in the points.

Webbo, Webbo, Webbo. :rock:

Awesome drive. Again faultless all weekend and blowing away the fancied young Vettel. Take out the four safety cars and Mark would have won Monaco by at least 30 seconds. He had a decent start but his restarts after the safety car were just flawless every time and gave Vettel not even a sniff.

Webber leads the championship after six races while RBR streak from third to first in the constructors. :yeah:

Newey has done a great job with the RB6. The RB5 was not a good car at Monaco last year. The RB6 is proving to be strong across all types of tracks. And the car may have the F duct at Turkey which will help to negate some of the straight line speed disadvantage that they have been suffering.

Schumi now demoted with a 20s penalty, everyone behind him climbs a place for points :D or more points. Not a big difference for Alonso, but rounds up his unbelievable recover and damage limitation. Had he not smashed his car on the wall, he could have probably looked at a 3rd place and the provisional leadership of the championship ... until Turkey, where probably Webber is going to hit with the hammer on the table and definately emerge as solid championship leader. I would love to see either Webber or Button win the championship, but I certainly don't like that it all is done with such an insulting technical superiority. Like it happened to Button last year, havinga much superior car tends to hide how good the driver is, and reduces his merits. Webber has enough merits to be a deserved champion, let's hope he can show them rightfully above the RB6 :up:
