I felt that the crowd booing Vettel for taking the lead was even worse, what was he supposed to do? Stop and let everyone past? Anyway, those tyre incedents were shocking. Vergne's was pretty terrifying. Other than that though that was one exciting race.

DotD: Rosberg did no wrong, I think that even if Vettel was still in the race Rosberg would have won.

SotD: Probably Di Resta for another great race from the back, that said the safety cars did benefit him and Hamilton quite a lot. EDIT: scratch that, Massa had a sensational drive that I didn't notice until I re watched the race on iPlayer, I'd say he had it worse than Hamilton being in a less competitive car, fantastic drive from so far back.

Quote of the day: JB on stage after the race, when he was asked if his bad season so far was character building he replied "it's not character building. It's crap." 

 I'll be there, so fingers crossed a Vettel win, the way the crowd booed him where I was sitting last year was pretty disgusting, so it'll rub it in their face :P Another Webber win would be nice too, and a good showing from Di Resta would be appreciated.

1. Started watching F1 in 2002, so for me it was their solid 2003 campaign. And dumping Ralf Schumacher :P

2. That is really sexist, I hope she reports whoever asked this if it was in a professional environment. I can see Williams/Kaltenborn being around for a while, but other than that I don't see anymore coming through. It's traditionally male dominated for the simple fact that more men want to work I'm F1 than women as far as I can see.

3. Maybe, maybe not. The fact that he's maintaining close links to Red Bull after he leaves implies that they haven't. I think after 11 long years he knows he had his chance in 2010 and he himself blew it, it's unlikely such an opportunity would arise again.

4. Well, the championship he did win would have been won by Massa if it wasn't for Glock, so to be honest I never saw him as much of a champion, his attitude back in 2007-9, with Scherzinger and his dad around him 24/7, he seemed very primadonna to me. He doesn't have much of a legacy really, and as long as Vettel/Alonso are as competitive as they are I don't see Hamilton winning another championship for a long time.

 5. Most people at Monaco sit in the hotels/yachts though, and I don't think they are FIA sanctioned seating areas, and I know for a fact that these are more expensive than Silverstone. It's been packed the past 2 years with tickets selling out in a flash, and there is a lot of seating, so I think for demand's sake they have to be high, or they'd sell out too quickly. That said, there is a grandstand or two that are only available to guests from Vodafone or whatever, and they're usually empty until Sunday.

I'll be there, so I hope it's a good one!
