Yeah but the rookie Hamilton is leading in points + a podium finish for every race. How do ya like them apples? ;-)

I believe Hamilton is destined for F1 greatness. Sir Jackie Stewart commented on Hamilton in a recent interview saying: "I think he is going to rewrite the book" and "We'll see a new generation of properly prepared professional racing drivers. I don't think there is one who is that."

I'm really happy with how BMW is doing this year. They will podium VERY soon.
Unfortunate about Heidfeld, though, he was doing so well, and one little mistake on pit lane ...

We have yet to see Hamilton push to pass another car. That being, NOT from the start where the Mclaren is simply faster, and NOT passing a limping car. Wait till he is in a car that is not fast and we will talk.

He is good, that goes without saying.

Maybe he just needs a sport on a track that ever involves passing...and those starts of his were amazing - all keeping cool and knowing exactly what's going on around him. The car's obviously not faster...

Man, the first time in 5 years I won't be going to the USGP, and it's shaping up to be by far the most interesting one. :( Especially after last year and the year before.

Who caught qualifying at Monaco on Speed this morning? I had to wake up at 5am to watch it since (according to the TV schedule) it doesn't look there's a taped replay later. I'm not going to spoil it.....chime in if you watched.

Recorded it, yet to watch but i read the results. BOO!!

That and how in hell did a Spyker have the fastest time on the 3rd free practice in the rain! that is insane, maybe Sutil will find new friends from that performance.

I was up and watching live (as always)...RAIN AT MONACO!!! Spoiler

Well, actually you could barely tell it was raining at all, but it was obvious it had been raining earlier. Im surprised they were getting such quick lap times given the conditions and the fact that the circuit lost all its rubber build up from the last couple days.

Sutil was fastest in the rain practice session! Even though I am mostly a Kimi fan, I was really hoping BMW would break the Ferrari/McLaren streak and get the pole...oh well. Speaking of Kimi, looks like hey blew it :sad:

Hammy is absolutly on the ragged edge...as he demonstrated in Thursday practice with that heavy crash into turn 1. But Dammit he can put in a quick lap around those streets! I think he can be slightly quicker than Alonso but I have a bad feeling he will crash out of the race.

I cant wait for the race...rain likely! This would completely change EVERYTHING, looking forward to it. Any north PNW E30 guys are welcome to watch the race at my house. Normally I have live F1 get-togethers but we are going to hold off until about 2pm or so for the Monaco race, let me know if you want to join us and add to the E30's in my driveway.

During the coverage of qualifying they were saying there's an 80% chance of rain for race day. I'm going to keep tabs on this via some weather websites and see how things shape up. Monaco is already very unforgiving - throwing rain into the mix just magnifies this reality.

I walked the track back in 2001 during my european trip. TONS of pics. FUcking insane track.

I hear the run from casino down to mirabeau, down to the hairpin down to portier is steeper than it looks on TV...and it looks very steep on TV!

Slightly off topic, but congrats to Dario Franchitti for winning the Indy 500. I met him several times back in his CART days and I can't think of a classier race-car driver.
