I'm surprised Fernando ran so heavy in Q3, after blitzing P3 on light fuel this morning. I can only assume they were half expecting a penalty for "blocking" Trulli in Q1 and decided that starting off the front on light fuel, after a penalty, wasn't worth the risk. FWIW, it didn't look like a block to me.

Hammy will also start from the back (or more likely the pitlane) due to replacing his gearbox after that shunt.

 

Penalties aside, it's amazing how Toyota have gone from a front row lockout to a back row lockout in 2 races. Has there ever been a president for that in the history of the sport? Great for the sport IMO, especially with both FIs in Q3.

 

Also with Nakajima 10th and Piquet 11th, a first corner pile up is virtually assured.

That lap of honour was awesome lol

 

Wouldn't be suprised if everyone wants to do that at Monaco now...

 

Not sure about awesome. Diverting maybe. It certainly made a change. I'm inclined to agree with Arizona about Monaco. I'm sure the drivers love it, but as a race, it's F1 at it's processional worst. Which is a great shame, and there's nothing they can do about it, apart from making the roads much wider, which they can't.

 

I remember being slightly impressed by the glitz and glamour for a short while, in my younger years, but then quickly realised all the glitz and glamour in the world can't make a boring race spectacularly great. If they took it off the calender, it would take me all of 5 seconds to get over it.

 

Once again, well done Jenson, Rubens and BrawnGP. The class of the field.

 

EDIT: Did like the camera capturing the cars changing direction and load along the swimming pool section. The way some cars bounced and jiggled around there, and the way the Brawns seemed to sweep left and right. Now that was awesome. ;)

Nice work by Buemi. Had to laugh at Nelson chiding him for being a rookie kid in F1. Tongue firmly in cheek there.

 

Really? Sounded to me like he was just being retarded.

 

Shame Fisi couldn't get ahead of Bourdais as the end.

Nah, knowing Nelson there's no chance he was being that arrogant. Now, if it had been his dad talking, that would be a different matter...
