What?
No contingency plans since i'm going to be out all day.
In my opinion We will see Grosjean do a good race, that's all I can say.

Red Bull are the Kings of strategy and McLaren are the Kings of blunders presently.

Turn one wreck, cars bumping into each other, the in ability to pass due to rubber off line and some touching the armco. The typical for Monaco.

Ferrari suspends work after earthquake
Ferrari has suspended work at its Maranello headquarters following a second earthquake in a week in Northern Italy.

After an earthquake that measured 6.0 on the richter scale hit close to Modena last Monday - causing seven deaths and widespread damage - a second quake struck the same region on Tuesday morning. Today's quake was of 5.8 magnitude, but early reports suggest that it has caused more fatalities than last week.

Alonso and the entire Ferrari team are looking very impressive. As I said at the beginning, don't count them out.

I would have to guess that the core elements of the car were right from the beginning with some important aspect incorrect. Whatever the gremlin was, it seems to be gone. McLaren seem to have had very good balance but may have missed the boat on the nose advantages. They have since been modifying it. Mercedes have been SO much better this year than last. Red Bull may not have the best chassis this year (Hard to say) but the strategies are the best (Plus excellent drivers). Team Lotus are on the rise big time and Grosjean is the future of F1.

Grosjean is french. He must not be f1's future.
You could see a red rx8 go in the wrong direction just to hit him if he really is.

Well, it didn't look like that was back to WRC standards. But, it was spirited driving.

This is Mark Webber's Pole lap. You can not begin to wrap your head how fast he is whizzing the streets of Monaco. Just inches from the barrier!

Alonso's reported salary an 'airy-fairy figure'
Ferrari has slammed a report that suggested Fernando Alonso earns an annual salary which nearly matched the combined pay of both the McLaren drivers put together.

Business Book GP 2012 revealed that the Spaniard took home €30 million per year and was the top earner in Formula 1 whereas Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button each received €16 million, a claim that Ferrari referred to as "all sorts of airy-fairy figures".
