Wet Monaco GP?

[stephen300o]

Seen some predictions of rain for the Grandprix, so rain + barriers + no traction control
= how many finishers?
I guess six

[MrKipling43]

Massa first to punt it off?

[anonymous-user]

isn`t rain forecast for all gps, but when it gets down to it its bright sunshine??

[Muzzer]

"Heavy Showers" predicted for Saturday, which could make qualifying....interesting.

Monaco's always good if it chucks it down - might be worth a sly bet on a Webber, Rosberg or Button bringing home a win

Massa will probably throw it off at turn 1 in the dry, let alone the wet....

[JonRB]

A wet Monaco would be awesome. Any GP is better when wet, of course, but Monaco is especially good and even more so with no TC this year. Really sorts the men out from the boys.

On every session

Fingers crossed for a wet Monaco to spice things up, will be great watching the celebs getting drenched too

he will be spinning that much he will think he is on the waltzers...

Wet Monaco could be mighty interesting as you say - all those painted lines, manhole covers and shiny concrete kerbs.

Whats Kubicas record in the rain?

In the wet I guess a compliant, easy to control car is more of a benefit than outright speed, thats something they've been saying about the McLarens this year?

[woof]

the teams are prepared for a wet quali and possible showers during the race

1996 Monaco GP
So who's the modern day equivalent to Olivier Panis in a Ligier
What a race that was - only 3 cars finished !

Jenson in the Honda !?

Massa to win?

[Mr_Thyroid]

Safety car driver to win.

[skinny]

there are some contradicting weather reports - some say it will be ok, some say rain on saturday, showers on sunday.

it's rained here in light showers for the last two days...


if it is wet, massa, sutil, and nakajima to stuff it.
kimi, kubi, and lewis to make up top 3.

Take a gamble, DC to win and then jump naked from the Red Bull Tower when they offer him a one year extension!!!

If it's wet I'd expect Ferrari to walk it. Their traction seems awsome compared to the other front runners.

Is that due to the special ECU they use

Zing.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Heidfeld might spring a surprise. While the McLarens and Ferraris are concentrating on fighting each other and Kubica's going BANZAI I reckon Nick might just take a crafty win.

ETA: What does EFA stand for? It's the only one I've not been able to work out.

EFA means Edited For Accuracy

as for a wet race and qualy, yes please! will mix things up very nicely! would have been good to see Davidson give it a whirl mind

i recon if it happens Massa will bin it taking a few unfortunate others out coming into the swimming pool
