    P5 for his first start is awesome, Dixon was flying!!

    Think everyone ahead of Alonso was running less wing than him...Andretti played it a little save me thinks. Hats off to Sato, rare air for him to be up front!

    Well the fresh bullet they stuck in there in record time sure worked well. The Honda's are fast, I hope they are fast & reliable for 500 miles.

    Alonso did great! :Thumbsup:

    More reliable than the F1 Hondas. Maybe they should use the Indy engine in F1.:cornut:

    Well, how about Rossi?

    Remember - he won it last year as a rookie - can lightning strike twice?

    That would be something if Rossi could win again. The way I see it the guys on Rossi's pit box should have their faces on the trophy too. Incredible strategy got him the win.

    I don't understand why he's not driving for Haas F1 instead of KMag.

    KMag appears to have more experience & probably more backing $$$$$$. I'd love to see an American in F1.

    Vettel looked STRONG in practice at Monaco Thursday, so far the Mercs don't seem to have the plot, but all the Red Bull/Toro Rosso cars look quick too.

    We'll see tomorrow at qually.

    Nice to have an actual fight for the championship again.

    Both McLarens in the top 10 - shows that Monaco is NOT a HP track! :D

    Sadly for Button and his stellar lap in the BOC, Honda had to make a part change so me thinks he is getting a 15 place grid penalty.

    I just can't see how McHonda could be a bigger failure...

    The boys in the red jammies are STRONG this weekend, unless they screw the start or somehow botch the strategy, I don't see how there can't be at least one red car on the podium tomorrow. But this is Monaco, all sorts of strange things can happen, just ask Ricky Riccardo!

    Should be an interesting turn one. Max may crash the red cars party.

    After a sixteen year drought in Monaco it was great to see Ferrari win again!!! Even with his second place finish, Kimi was the most unhappy man in Monaco after the race... Ricciardo was great as usual there, pulling his Red Bull up to the third spot!
