Who needs rain?

Justin: Who needs rain for a fun race eh? I must add that the Monaco GP was viewed by this blogger in the comfort of his co-bloggers hospitality. We established that I'm the Murray Walker of the twosome and he is something else entirely :-). He will acknowledge that I will not be too nice to him here as he did make at least one annoying remark against the amazing Fernando!

Lets start from the front. Mark Webber. What can you say really? Two poles, two wins. Two start to finish wins. Utterly dominating his younger team-mate. He now stands atop of the championship with Vettel, but Webber leads on race wins.

Alonso is third in the rankings. I wouldnt be the first to offer passing speculation on Alonso's luck with safety cars......but, he drove an outstanding race from 24th to finish 6th. I say 6th, as for all Brawn's moaning and bickering....the rule is....

Article 40.13 of the Formula 1 sporting regulation states: "If the race ends while the safety car is deployed it will enter the pit lane at the end of the last lap and the cars will take the chequered flag as normal without overtaking."

So, by definition Alonso secures 6th. As DC said though, they need to tidy up the rules here somewhat. Still, I bet Damon Hill wouldnt mind demoting Shumi to his rightful place eh.

It has to be said, I have said it before and I shall say it again....Alonso has had an up and down season thus far. He was on damage limitation today. Button dropped out (ooppps boys) and with Webber and Vettel far back in the standings before the race, it didnt work out too badly for Fernando. For an up and down season, to be 3rd in the standings a few points from the top isnt bad at all. Monaco could have been far worse for him. Job done there me thinks. He can be happy.

Elsewhere, Williams need to build their cars to a better standard it seems. What the hell was Rubens thinking throwing his wheel onto the racing line??

We wait to see what the stewards think of the Shumi/ Alonso incident on the last lap. I shall blog later when we know more.
