Jenson Button was in a league of his own and seemed to be moving closer to the driver’s championship with each lap he completes. He did a better job of managing his super-soft tyres in comparison to Barichello, and never looked like anybody could challenge him…

If Massa was getting the fastest laps, why didn’t he appear to be catching either Kimi or the Brawns? I was really impressed with Rubinho’s move at the start which got him ahead of Kimi and wrong-footed both Ferraris for the whole race. But I suppose thats because their KERS doesn’t react quickly enough…..
I have a feeling now we are heading for some faster circuits at Istanbul and Silverstone, the Ferraris will become all dominating again and that will be the end of a wonderful season for Button…..

What’s so exciting about a pilot finishing Monaco? 100′s of people have done it before any of the pilots this week-end and with much more unreliable and hard to drive cars!

Learn a bit about driving before commenting on skill, have you ever tried to drive a Turbo with almost no down force and absolutely no breaks (compared to today’s cars) in a narrow street?

Skill? C’mon did you notice that JB was not the only one to finish the race and he happened to have the best car?

F1 today is about the car, not the driver, that’s plenty clear!

Yep, all of the drivers that didn’t run into anything deserve a vote for the skill, fitness, concentration to race around there… not to mention a large pair of testicles

Ah, I see: you’re saying Massa made a mistake by allowing _both_ Vettel and Rosberg through, instead of just letting Vettel through. Thereby asserting that was an avoidable error (letting Rosberg through). See, I think letting Rosberg through was unavoidable once he botched up his move on Vettel (which was avoidable) – I think he’s refering to the botched move as a mistake and the subsequent chain of events ended up with him letting Rosberg through. But that’s hard to verify, so I’ll stand down.

Anyway, I see where you’re coming from now – and will try to be clearer with my phrasing next time.

No, it wasn’t. Read your own posts, buddy. A bit late to fix it up now.

@ Senor Paz

I totally agree with you!

Even the slowest are doing close to 180 whilst millimeters away from the Armco and turning in consistent lap times for nearly 2 hours.

How can it be boring to watch master craftsmen at work?

If you want spectacle you should be watching saloon car racing not open wheel.

@Senor Paz,

That’s the mistake I was talking about all this while … letting Rosberg through.

Maybe along with learning a thing or two about racing, you should also learn to read.
