The gulf between Vettel and Alonso has widened this year and for now Hamilton isn't... -

There hasn't been an unlikely winner at Monaco since 1996.

Perez managed his tyres just fine. He was simply quicker than the three ex world champions. He retired because Kimi pushed him into a wall.

Clearly it is. It's just that Raikonnen and Alonso have been abysmal in qualifying. Ferrari and Lotus two best cars. They just don't have a superstar driver like Red Bull do.

In 1993 Schumacher was more impressive than Senna in a Benetton that didn't have active suspension, a semi-automatic gearbox, and traction control until mid-season. In 1994 he started were he...

They all had similar strategies. They couldn't get more speed otherwise they would have. Tyre wear was a non-issue. Look what Rosberg could do. Look what Vettel could do. Their tyres were fine. ...
