Monaco Grand Prix (or why Kinki Rakakkakakenen is a tool)

[Trikky]

Mostly impressed, though Monaco is the dullest circuit ever barring floods, earthquakes, driver error etc.

Looking forward to seeing Force India secure some kudos till the ice man commeth all over his gearbox.

I love the racing at monaco. I also love rain racing, and if it switches between rain and dry during the race its even better  It usually makes for some spectacular racing, tactics and chanses for the teams with less funding but good drivers.

Oh yes... Never liked Kimi, and his ramming today didnt improve my opinion of him at all   


All in all, the most exciting race so far this year. I have high hopes for the next street race too even if i cant remember where it is atm.


-edit- The next street race is Valencia. Going to be exciting to see the night race in Singapore too. Never seen F1 cars race in the "dark" before

Hamilton drove a great race - he murdered the rest of the field to build up that massive lead during the race - no-one could touch him.

Kimi is a tool, but from the replays I don't think the Force India smash was his fault to be honest. He was not trying to overtake, was miles from Sutil, he just hit some water just as he entered his braking zone and lost the back-end - he couldn't brake at all after that.

Unlike Alonso and his silly overtaking manoever at the hairpin earlier in the race. That man really is a dick.

Impressive how Kimi managed to keep it straight there. Too bad Sutil was on the way. A racing incident as anyone with half a brain could see.

Kimi was out on dry tyres and should have tanken that into consideration. He can blame himself and not anything else. If he had hit some carbon parts or other things that he could not have known was there it would have been another matter. Anyone with half a brain should know that. I guess its the wet tracks fault that Massa went off too or was that his fault for driving too fast just before the turn?

damn did he wrong you in another life lol.

Kimi lost control at a small dip in the track (he was out of control the entire way down the hill, pretty far back), race accident toejam happens. As far as dry tires most of the leaders were pitting to change them to the dries. Would be stupid for him not to switch tires, didn't see any wet at that part of the track anyway (at the bottom towards the chicane yes).

Only really stupid move I saw all race was Alonso's attempted pass at the hairpin.

Pity the force India driver (Satil?) didn't score a point (always root for the underdog), but to think Kimi deliberately ramming him and loosing any chance for points and hold onto the lead in the championship is silly.

Of course it was his fault. When you push 100%(as you should) things like this happen in these conditions. Happened to many others with lesser results today.

Now I watched it again... Unbelievable recovery and he just barely hit Sutil. The collision was no way inevitable rather bad luck. If he would have spun out like most of the guys he wouldn't been even close to hitting him. A testament of his car control ability.

what a great Race weekend!!!
Hamilton did a great job unlike others in this difficult conditions, but even he touched the wall
once at the swimming pool and killed his right back wheel.
I was also impressed from Sutil and Kubica!

And about Kimi, well braking at this point on the track can be tricky, especialy under wet
condition. Coulthard had a high speed crash at exsactly the same point on saturday in
dry condition!

unfortunately the video its only in slowmo, i have the video in realtime, and it looks scary.

As far as Kimi goes, anyone remember Monza last year?  His accident today was almost identical.  I wonder if is their progressive brake bias thigy that came out in the Mclaren spy scandal.  Mabey he set it wrong for those corners?
