Narain Karthikeyan : HRT F1 Team : 1:20.886 + 5.140 laps 10 Good to see Felipe infront of Alonso for ones Short Comment of 2nd practice session : Jenson Button was quickest in Thursday afternoon practice for the Monaco Grand Prix, as all the leading positions were set in 15 minutes of early dry running before showers intervened. All the teams were expecting rain to feature in practice two, which meant a rush of early runs prior to the first precipitation arriving a quarter of an hour in. By that time, Button's McLaren was on top with a lap in 1m15.746s, 0.392 seconds clear of second-placed Romain Grosjean's Lotus. The Ferraris of Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso were next up, with Barcelona winner Pastor Maldonado completing the top five for Williams. Championship leader Sebastian Vettel's Red Bull was back in 10th. The rain did briefly ease around the half-hour mark, encouraging a few drivers to come back out on slicks, but conditions were far from good enough for quick times, and a second shower came soon after. Although the track dried out again towards the end, even with nearly the full field on the circuit at times, a truly dry line never emerged. Despite the slippery conditions, everyone managed to avoid the barriers. There were plenty of trips down escape roads, with everyone managing to continue except Heikki Kovalainen, who could not get his Caterham's reverse gear to cooperate after sliding off at Mirabeau.

The race that all pilots want to win. The first Monaco Grand Prix was held in 1929. It is one of the oldest races and on this track were born some of the most important legends of Formula One(1984 Ayrton Senna), but for someone this circuit is too narrow, too tight for anything other than a lengthy procession. For me absolutely no. This is a legendary circuit, very difficult for the pilots. Every error is punished by the barriers and guardrails lining the track. Even the most famous pilots have made mistakes at Montecarlo. This circuit does not forgive anyone. Over the years the track has changed little. The nouvelle chicane after the tunnel. The chicane of swimming pool after the tabac corner. The Rascasse and Antony Noghes curves, instead of Gasometer hairpin. The entire first part is not changed: Saint Devote, Beaurivage, Massenet, Mirabeau, the tight hairpin of Grand Hotel (formerly Loews and Old Station), and the double right-hander called Portier, are always the same. I have seen many memorable races at this track. A few weeks ago I reviewed on television the whole Grand Prix of 1981. A fantastic victory of Gilles Villeneuve. Here overtaking is truly problematic and perhaps only the curve of St. Devote offers a small chance. The overall speeds are low and so the most important thing for the cars is generate downforce and the low-speed handling. This race has the slowest average speed of all the circuits. DRS: only one zone, along the start-finish straight during the race; while is always banned in the tunnel. Brake demand: high. Downforce Level: very high. Tyre wear: Low. Pirelli tires for this race will be soft (prime, yellow) and supersoft (option, red) never used in this season. The tires have narrow windows of performance and it is very important(perhaps too much) to use them with care. The performance of the Pirelli tyres appears to be so linked to weather conditions and also small changes in track temperature have a large effect. Winners, impossible to forget: Ayrton Senna: 6 wins; 5 pole position; 8 times on podium in only 10 edition (1984-1993).
Podium 2011: Vettel – Alonso – Button – fastest lap on race: Webber – pole position : Vettel 1'13''556 Podium 2010: Webber – Vettel – Kubica – fastest lap on race: Vettel – pole position : Webber 1'13''826 Podium 2009: Button – Barrichello – Raikkonen – fastest lap on race: Massa – pole position : Button 1'14''902 Monaco GP: victories for current pilots: Schumacher(5) Alonso (2), Raikkonen, Webber, Vettel, Hamilton and Button (1). Monaco GP: pole position for current pilots: Schumacher(3), Alonso (2), Webber, Vettel, Raikkonen, Massa, and Button (1) A little bit strange. Hamilton: never in pole position here. Until now there have been five different winners in as many races. Button(nr.3), Alonso(nr.5), Rosberg(nr.8), Vettel(nr.1), and Maldonado(nr.18), This year the races are lotteries. On which number the roulette ball will stop in Monaco? |
