MONACO Grand Prix 2009 - Race 6/17 Official GP Thread

[Pete19s]

Looking forward to this. Granted Monaco is normally abit of a snooze fest but I have a feeling this one could be different. Im not going to give any predictions for a winner but I do feel that Ferrari (Massa atleast) could finally have a decent showing. Loving the classic GP on red button, the last few laps of '82 are somthing else.

hoping hamilton can get a decent result this weekend, kers aint gonna be much of a help as there are no good places for it and overtaking is tight.

Love the sound of disbelief as they get a 4th frontrunner in 4 laps. The 96 one is also good, gutting for Hill with that failure.

The thing that really spices up Monaco (and most other GP of course) is rain, anyone know what the forecast is?

Looks like yet again ill be opting to not watch the build up... Dont fancy an hour of "Ferrari, Ferrari, Budget caps, quitting, Ferrarigate, budgetgate, FIAgate, My opinion is this, my opinion is that... oh, by the way, theres a race this weeked too.... but anyway, back to the important stuff... Ferrari, budgets, fia, quit, politics, blah blah blah blah..... oh, crap there about to start!"

I just hope the race is a good'un. Im predicting some crash tasticness

 

[PinkFloyd]

I'm predicting a Heikki crash on the first lap. Piquet will get a fair chunk into the race then crash in an akward place causing mayhem. Atleast one Ferrari to break down.

 

[arknor]

im predicting piquet for the win, someone has to.

If by win you mean horrible crash, then maybe

 

[orderoftheflame]

I'm guessing Button or Vettel to win, with several safety cars.

No damage would be a good result

Dry track: Button win.
Wet track: Vettel win.
Crazy race (lots of crashes, disastrously long pit stops, punctures, etc): anybody's race.

 

[PinkFloyd]

Ideally I'd like to see some Ballsy overtaking from Hamilton and a few good crashes

 

[sunama]

Overtaking isnt easy at Monaco, unfortunately.

Not easy, but definitely doable; look at Prost picking off the non turbos in his Renault in the 82 race. Perhaps the Kers cars could manage to punch enough to do a ballsy overtake at Saint Devote or Mirabeau.

 

[Christo]

It all depends on qualifying since overtaking and getting a good lead isnt really possible at Monaco. Ill say Vettel since the car seems to be getting ahead of the Brawn..

 

[Bennah]

Vettel for the win.

Rubens to pip Button too.

 

[NightSt@lk3r]

Button to win, Rubens to loose his wing on the first lap, Vettel will be one of the big crashes everyone is expecting.

 

[FrankJH]

Amazing how many people think Rubens can just turn it on and beat Button when he hasnt been close to him in any of the races so far (over the whole distance)

If the races where over 100 miles instead of 200 he may have won one, but thats his only hope
