Latest new on Perez is that he had "concussion and a sprained thigh, but no broken bones and, following a scan, doctors could find no further injuries".

Not so much about 'luck'

The credit I believe should go to the the designs of the cars and the Barriers. If it was any ordinary barrier he skidded into It would have had a very different outcome but as you can see the replays these barriers do an excellent job at dispersing all of the crash energy.

How many laps is this race? I'm pretty sure there will be more crashes coming tomorrow because that corner looks like a nightmare. Race day will make that one corner even worse if you have a similar race as the last GP with the front two very close together and the pressure could be enough to put someone off in that corner.

Lewis Hamilton has been demoted to 10th for obviously cutting the chicane on his hot lap.

That side slap into the barrier was harsh!

Monte Carlo - first round the first bend wins, baring mechanical failure or track mishaps. And the scenery is good. Looking forward to it :D

I want a repeat of 1996 :D

Forgive my poor memory - but was that Damien Hill's fine moment over Schuey?

Re: Formula 1 2011 season
 

Yep, that was Panis's one and only win.. when only 4 cars finished :D

Re: Formula 1 2011 season
 

Don't want to say it - but that track is looking very dodgy - I hope more than 4 cars finish so long as Button and Hamilton are up there.

IIRC the best race at Monaco was in 1992 was the Senna & Mansell race, were that last 4 laps Mansell was all over Senna's car but could not pass (a lose wheel nut cost him the win) and he finishe 0.2 seconds behind, Mansell had to be help out of the car as he was totally knackered.

Mansell went on to win the title with 5 race still to win.

FIA supporting ferrari again :( Surely Massa got forced sideways by webber into Lewis and as such wasn't responsible??

Re: Formula 1 2011 season
 

I want to be the safety car driver.

Re: Formula 1 2011 season
 

Red flag:


Vettle :( from Alonso from Button & Button was driving probably the best drive of his career!

Possible restart?

Race to be resumed after track is cleared & start behind safety car.

Petrov complaining of pain in his leg\legs.

Restart @ 16.04 Local time.

Petrov, no broken bones just bruising!

Re: Formula 1 2011 season
 

Looks like it'll be a restart.. LOL @ the startline repair on Lewis's rear wing..

Re: Formula 1 2011 season
 

Vettle only won due to the problems with the incident on lap 71\72 Alonso should have had that with Button a credible 2nd. Bummer :( Vettle is not my fav driver, not even in top 5 of current drivers.

Re: Formula 1 2011 season
 

I don't honestly count Monaco as a race, it's more a series of events in that someone is declared the winner
