Dude, seriously. What do you have against Albers. Just because he made one error and your flaming him all the time. Not cool man:tdown:
He is getting comprehensively smashed by Sutil and he is not driving well at all. This is his 3rd year in F1 and probably his last. He has not gone forward since coming into F1, and despite beating his previous team mates he hasn’t show well against Sutil (who is quite impressive). If you can’t beat your team mate, you can’t be champion. If you can’t win you won’t take up a seat for too many years in F1.
As we are onto Honda, I think they might do fairly well here, they don't have to go too fast round here at all!
Their car doesn’t have any braking stability. They will get smashed.
If a driver doesn’t have confidence there is no way they can push at Monaco.
Ok, seriously? I think it's a straight fight between Hamilton and Raikkonen. Lewis has an unbeaten streak here, yes Appie it may only be something like two races, but not many people can say they have won two races at Monaco and Lewis is on a wave of confidence following his 3 second places. I've also put Kimi up for the win as last year he was leading I believe before his car going ka-put.
Massa and Alonso should fight over the final step with Alonso coming out on top, Massa has never done well at Monaco.
Agreed. Kimi usually pulls out something pretty special at Monaco, and the Ferrari is supremely stable. He should be able to push quite comfortably. I suspect Kimi and Alonso may also perform a bit better than they have recently because of the super soft and soft compound tyres. However I still think Hamilton will beat Alonso.
Behind them could very well be a Red Bull vs BMW ding dong although BMW's new power steering system could edge it their way, however saying that, DC is probably the best driver in the current field at Monaco. Then expect the Williams vs Renault vs Super Aguri vs Honda vs Toyota for the remaining point or two.
In 2005 Nick and Mark both got on the podium, but I think Nick did not deserve 2nd place then. But still, with the great car I’m pretty sure Nick will be best of the rest. IIRC Kubica only got a few laps in practice last year…
Webber is also extremely strong at Monaco. He got 3rd in 2005 (deserved 2nd) and was running in 3rd for most of the race last year before he retired. I think he will probably beat DC, especially considering Mark has been on form in qualifying this year. DC always has good race form, though, so it’ll be a close fight.
I just have to hold out until Canada and hope someone else forgets to develop a car next year ...
And Bee, I'd say it's more likely Albers will be the dangerous one in the race; there's talk he'll be replaced with test driver van der Garde if he can't match Sutil in terms of pace. Hence, he's going to be holding on for all he's worth to keep his seat, and drivers in the past have proven common sense usually takes a back seat to everything else when they want to keep their drive.
Spyker have said that neither driver will lose their seats this year. They will give both drivers an entire season to prove themselves.
