Mark Webber is actually pretty old in F1 terms (he's 36). If he retires, he could do many things, from racing in Aussie V8's (which I know he'd like to do) to running IndyCar (which is what I'd like to see him do). He has a lot of talent, except for his trademark "I think I stared in the wrong gear" starts, he drives very well and very consistent.

One of the funniest radio comments of the race, equal to Kimi's "Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing" classic remark from last year, was when Mercedes was telling their drivers Rosberg and Hamilton to go easy on their tires....REAL easy....because their strategy was to stay out when other teams came in for tires.

Lewis Hamilton radioed, "I can't drive any slower."

That would make a great bumper sticker!

I'm not so sure about Vettel & Kimi as teammates. Gas and Flames combo potential there for sure.

Webber AGAIN had a Grandma start in the race...

Yeah, that would make a great bumper sticker. Exactly how do you do that I said to my wife at the time we watched that. Funny really.

IIRC Pirelli attempted to blame carbon fibre shrapnel cuts for the Force India tread delamination during practice. What about same during the race, and the left side inside surface disintegration?

Monaco free practice one and two Thursday morning.

Monaco baby! Precision driving, strategy, hardly any passing. Takes guts, courage, and an amazing amount of ability.

The playground of Ayrton Senna.

I see the podium as Vettel, Raikkonen, Alonso, assuming of course there's no first turn accidents.

Monaco indeed. Thumbs up. Wonder what the latest tire wear situation will be?
