nothing new there and this time if they get front row, Mercedes could challenge for top 5 with both cars, as we all know it's really hard to overtake at Monaco

not exactly F1 but close enough

what a tool Perez is - destroyed Kimi's chance to a possible podium with the way the tyres kept at the end of the race; two more races in points to go for Kimi to take that record from Schumacher though

Raikkonen closing in on F1 record

I didn't even realize Raikkonen had scored points in Monaco.  Overtaking 3 cars in the last 2 laps is very impressive.  I hope he gets the record.

Just glad Vettel is still on too, hope he repeats!

what a good race we had in Germany, but now there's 3 weeks break until we go to Hungary followed by another 4 weeks break until we go to Belgium - hmm!!!

With F1 season starting up again, I figured I'd revive this thread.

I think it was a nice start to the season.  Some excitement, new names, new and untested car designs and new, untested and dreadful sounding motors.  There was even some passing in the first race of the year.  It will be interesting to see how things play out this year.
