Went well for Heikki

Did Simon Lazenby just say " looking around Monaco its all hills and tight bends. Something Grace Kelly knows all about" and then had a little chuckle?

Yeah he did - he apologised later.

Race was dull even by Monaco standards.

When someone can work out WTF these tyres are all about, we will start seeing some consistency, until then, can't predict anything, even between FP, Qually and the Race.

Webber!!!!

Hamilton fastest in both practice sessions today. Bruno Senna had a big smash at the wall of champions.

Maldonado

[Asha]

Brilliant stuff from the 'time-trial golden boy'.

Think we'll see Alonso leading into turn 3 though.

[Jimmy]

I'm still hoping Vettell will end up in the wall of Champions, during his warm up lap

[isaidno]

Brilliant drive from Hamilton

Very happy for Hamilton! That's the sort of race I love to see, a great track with lots of fast corners and a driver who is able to just go for it and drive as fast as he can, rather than spend the whole time worrying about tyres!

[Floating Fox]

There's hardly any fast corners at Montreal...

Great drive by Hamilton!!

Audi has just won it's 11th 24 hours of Le Mans.

Anthony Davidson broke his back in this crash:

He seems to be recovering well, he even sent this tweet:

Well that was a big one! Lying in a French hospital with a broken back wasn't what I had in mind at this stage in the race...

You know Felipe baby will come back to form with a point to prove, knowing his Ferrari exit is inevitable at the end of the term.

So Hamilton's only just making the top five is proof he won't make it this year, whilst Massa's failure to do so is proof he will make it. Loving the logic.

I'll take a bet with you right now, Hamilton will be top five and Massa won't.

I'd happily take that.

So, when Massa finishes in the top five, or Hamilton doesn't, I walk away with how much?

Haha, yeah, well we never exactly agreed on an amount so it's not exactly a live bet.

But thanks for caring enough to take the time to search through a thread for me, chief <3

Batracer Formula Foxestalk season 23 sign up closes on Thursday evening.

Anyone interested in F1 should give it a go!! We still need more racers!

[Brainy]

It wasn't really difficult, it just crept up on me how low Massa has fallen and that he's done bugger all for a number of seasons.

Must be his head

I would suggest that, by the time honoured values of Man Betting, you at very least owe Facecloth a pint.

It was a truly awful call on your part.

Haha, I had my tinted glasses on at the time.

I'd happily buy the guy a pint

At the time?

That's brilliant mate. Congratulations.

I'm a parts controller. I'll be supplying the teams that have Mclarens with parts and the Mp4 production line. I've done a similar role with toyota but nothing this high profile.
