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

"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 scratchchin

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

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. smile

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?

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 !?

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.

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

Zing.wink

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.

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 frown

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