Just thought I'd start this thread - my PC will not access Live Timing from Formula1.com because of a java problem

[Valve Bounce]

Jarno is doing better and so are the two Torro Rossos

[Schultz]

hamilton has stopped on track.
is this that big mistake that will cost him big time?

[ioan]

Hamilton crashed, Davidson and Sutil also crashed.

[Ari]

DC had a brief encounter with the wall also. DC has been very slow. Webber going 'okay'.

I love Monaco!
I've been following F1 for over 6 years now and when Monaco comes it's like seeing an old friend.

Not only is it beautiful but it has such a great tradition and no one futses with it. It is still the same, with the same corners, twists and turns and narrow "alleys" where these cars just zoom by flirting with danger and just pushing the limits of speed, talent and phisics.

And yes, passes can happen - i remember some great ones in that weird turn after the tunnel - sorry, 6 years and I still don't know the names of the curves


Anyway . . . I love Monaco's F1 race.
