2005 Monaco Grand Prix

mmm, Alonso's innner grooves on his rears look nearly slick.

Looking at the lap times he appears to be holding up everyone else.

 

[ambulnick]

The right rear has lost most of the grooves, he's just almost lost it throught he swimming pool, Webber had a sniff but not enough space to pass.

Sounds like he's going to have to pit to get new tyres ...

Still got 42 minutes to go.

Think its MS's 1:15.9

Thanks

Heidfeld pits

 

[Joe T]

Webber may well be on the same strategy....

 

[ambulnick]

And Heidfeld rejoins in 4th. Impressive

 

[Joe T]

Webber pits...

 

[Bunka]

Raikkonen increases his lead even further to 26.2 seconds.

 

[Flibster]

Heidfeld pits on lap 58, Webber in on 59

Seems like Renault may need to stop again...

 

[ambulnick]

And rejoins in 4th. Just misses 3rd.

 

[Flibster]

M.Schumacher pits on lap 59

 

[Joe T]

Kimi has a 26 sec lead now. Unless something drastic happens, it will only get bigger!

 

[Flibster]

60 laps in - still got 15 cars running - thats pretty good compared to some years.

 

[Bunka]

After M.Schumacher's pit stop, he is in 12th place.

After M.Schumacher's pit stop, he is in 12th place.

13th

 

[Flibster]

28.4 second lead for Raikkonen
He's just cruising on 1:19's

everyone else is doing 1:20's or 1:21's

 

[Joe T]

Kimi has a 26 sec lead now. Unless something drastic happens, it will only get bigger!

Up to 30 secs now!

 

[ambulnick]

Heidfeld and Barrichello just pulled 1:17s...

 

[Joe T]

Liuzzi has a puncture. He makes it to the pits

 

[Bunka]

Heidfield last lap was completed in 1:17.
